I been the only nigga in the paint
My grip the only one that fit the grain
You been the only one that's on my brain
Baby tell me how do you maintain
I been the only nigga in the paint
My grip the only one that fit the grain
You been the only one that's on my brain
Baby tell me how do you maintain
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint

This year every lesson that I learned
It was shit I already knew
Had to stop running round in circles
Doing shit I already know to do
Tried to grow. Check the stats.
Guess it's true
Still grew.
Don't wanna grow colder.
Younger soul as I get older
I'm alone
But I'm not a loner
Moved home.
Still don't phone home much
So I wonder have I really grown much
Last album
5 years ago
So has a nigga really shown much
All I know is that my heart is true.
This the only thing I wanna do
And I want to learn to love the people
Who I say I do it for too
Im the only nigga in the paint
My grip the only one that fit the grain
You been the only one that's on my brain
Baby tell me how do you maintain
I been the only nigga in the paint
My grip the only one that fit the grain
You been the only one that's on my brain
Baby tell me how do you maintain
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
My grip the only one that fit the grain
You been the only one that's on my brain
Baby tell me how do you maintain
I been the only nigga in the paint
My grip the only one that fit the grain
You been the only one that's on my brain
Baby tell me how do you maintain
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
I been the only nigga in the paint
Paint paint paint
