Paint Your Reality

Paint your reality 

Paint your reality 
Reality kicks in 
You grab your brush 
And trust it's no rush 
To paint the perfect picture 
Doesn't always mean 
It's perfect 
With the right stroke 
The end result can be worth it 
Have you really just looked deep within
And really brought it out
Starting with the sketch 
Filling in the empty spaces 
I'm trying to see what's next 
What's the next chapter 
The dreams that I'm chasing 
Should I keep going after 
Should I aim for the sky 
Reach for the stars
Should I run after 
The laughter 
And light 
I should never let anyone dim it
I should always sparkle and shine ?? 
Stay true to the hustle and grind
Paint like your life depends 
You are destined to win ?? 
Paint and wash away the sins 
The  generational curses 
Replace them with affirmations and verses 
No rehearsing 
Reality is life 
Paint the hurt the sacrifice 
And turn it into something nice 
Stick it out 
You got it 
Yes, you do 
Show the perfect view
Of the Authentic you!!!
