From A Moving Picture2013

Lyrics

The Cast

[Hook:]

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

[Verse 1:]

Stay still while I finish the portrait

You are part of the picture now

Everybodys got roles to play

Inside of my picture house

The film premiere of life events that would pick me now

Somebody better sit me down

I'm too direct when I'm making a stand

Those who watched from afar

Thought the clock was a'fast

Those who watched me advance know how far that I've come from the past

Now this motion picture, ocean's bigger, I'm way too fast

You supported me in the awkward scenes, now you're part of the cast

[Hook:]

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

[Verse 2:]

This goes for the fans

Who stood by me from the day one

From tales of the crypt

The art of rolling and all that I've done

Bud, sweat and beers to here

It feels like I've already won

But if I had more luck, but now looks like the fortune the one

Thanks for the fans that followed me

And helped me in building a colony

You showed more fight than mars

The war God from roman mythology

Forget what the cameras capture

Because I'm the main character here

But believe me, I ain't actor

I'm just trying to write the next chapter

[Hook:]

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

We're all part of the moving picture

[Verse 3:]

Thank you to everyone that played their part

And taking me from the bottom to the middle

To somewhere near the top

Cause now you're all part of the cast (and the clock don't stop)

The last few years of my life

Have gone too quick

Pick from the bits and dangle with the life inside

A life full of paper, power and glyphs

I come from the real world, still I'm not sure what planet this is

I don't really feel well, I'm sick inside of insanity's grip

Make an action film for this

Leaving the drama, finding the grip

The lights below, I could be a father

But then I gave birth from this

Now you're a part of the picture

You got an insight into the scripture

You get it

My job here is done roll the end credits

Big love to every single one of my fans

And everyone who bought the tickets to one of my shows

Everyone that bought one of my CDs

Every download of any of my songs

Not about the mixtapes

OT crew
