Lyrics
0:11Feel alive
0:13Paint it true
0:14Paint it true
0:15Paint it true
0:16Thru and thru
0:17Paint it true
0:18Paint it true
0:19Paint it true
0:21Are you havin' problems tuning in
0:23Are the truths that you're seeing deceptively thin
0:25I come to clear up and pull you out of your spin
0:28Don't adjust your set jus' let me begin
0:31I wanna tell you âbout my daily barrage
0:32Commercial breaks livin' in a mirage
0:35Seen stars that are fake
0:36They make you sedate as your thoughts gestate
0:38Daylight I can't wait
0:39Now's it's too late and I can see my mistake
0:43Stone love and hate
0:44Ain't it what you make of life
0:45Don't ya see or buckle at the knee
0:47The pressure around it won't let you be
0:50I wanna know why we ain't conversin'
0:52I wanna know why we always reversin'
0:55Fobbin' me off with a web of diversion
0:57Check the artist sketch if you want the true version
1:00Paint it true
1:01Paint it true
1:03Paint it true
1:04Thru and thru
1:05Paint it true
1:06Paint it true
1:07Paint it true
1:09Paint it true
1:10To miss or mister
1:12If you don't
1:13We won't get the picture
1:14Lies and deception is a terrible mixture
1:16When you speak from the heart
1:17It'll uplift ya
1:18Don't be afraid when you don't understand
1:21'Cause your life span's only just began
1:23And every step you take is as good as a stand
1:25First impressions don't count like a slight of hand
1:28A sudden move
1:29The stride of a cheetah
1:30The sound of a drum beater
1:33Woman to woman breast to breast
1:35If you want the rest check the artist's sketch
1:38Paint it true
1:40Paint it true
1:41Paint it true
1:42Thru and thru
1:43Paint it true
1:44Paint it true
1:47Paint it true
1:55Feel alive
2:06So check the sketch
2:07No dust collects
2:08Never fades degrades soul
2:10Made to make ya stretch
2:11Agile worthwhile nothin' come
2:13From a vial or capsule
2:14I got a natural smile
2:16Turn out the lights
2:17Tell me can you see what a difference exists
2:19Now between you and me
2:21I'm at a bus stop waiting on a 33
2:23I see for miles 'cause my mind is free
2:25Don't take a genius to know about Venus
2:28No misdemeanours I taking it serious
2:30The flesh is weak you must protect it
2:33If you forget check the artist sketch it
2:40Now paint it true
2:42Paint it true

2:44Thru and thru

2:51Thru and thru
2:53Paint it true
2:55Paint it true
3:12Check the sketch
3:18I chose this time to relate to you
3:20A state of mind come habitual
3:23Like a ritual instinctual
3:25Like you don't know how but you know you will
3:27And instilled on the in to will to the outside world
3:31Sleepin' in pure formaldehyde
3:33Crystal ball mirror upon the wall
3:35What is the fate to befall us all
3:37'Cause I remember days I swear you wore flowers in your hair
3:42And I wore cloth on my limbs all bare we was there
3:47But now nothin' is as was intended
3:49Can't walk the street without being apprehended
3:52I feel so wretched and so perplex
3:54So I flex the real in the artist sketch
3:57I paint it true
3:58I paint it true
4:00Paint it true
4:01Thru and thru
4:02I paint it true
4:03Paint it true
4:04Paint it true
4:07Paint it true me to you
4:09Me to you
4:12Paint it true
4:13Paint it true
4:15Paint it true
4:19You can feel whatever you wanna feel
4:22When you paint it true
4:29Check the sketch
5:13Paint it true
5:14Paint it true
5:15Paint it true
5:16Paint it true
5:17Me to you
