Stereo MC's Sketch Lyrics

Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true, thru, thru
Paint it true, paint it true

Are you havin' problems tuning in
Are the truths that you're seeing deceptively thin
I come to clear up and pull you out of your spin
So don't adjust your set, jus' let me begin
I wanna tell you 'bout my daily barrage
Commercial breaks livin' in a mirage
Seen stars that are fake
They make you sedate
As your thoughts gestate daylight can't wait
Now's it's too late and I can see my mistake
Stone love, hate ain't it what you make of life
don't ya see or buckle at the knee
The pressure around it won't let you be
I wanna know why we ain't conversin'
I wanna know why we always reversin'
Fobbin' me off with a web of diversion
Check the artist sketch if you want the true version

Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true, thru, thru
Paint it true, paint it true

Paint it true, I to miss or mister
If you don't we won't get the picture
Lies and deception is a terrible mixture
When you speak from the heart it'll uplift ya
Don't be afraid when you don't understand
'cause your lifespan's only just began
and every step you take is as good as a stand
first impressions don't count like a slight of hand
a sudden move
the stride of a cheetah
the sound of a drum beater
woman to woman, breast to breast
if you want the rest check the artist's sketch

Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true, thru, thru
Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true

So check the sketch no dust collects
Never fades, degrades soul made to make ya stretch
Agile worthwhile nothin' come from a vial or capsule
I got a natural smile
Turn out the lights tell me can you see
What a difference exists now between you and me
I'm at a bus stop waiting on a 33
I see for miles 'cause my mind is free

Don't take a genius to know about Venus
No misdemeanors I taking it serious
The flesh is weak you must protect it
If you forget check the artist sketch it

Now;
Paint it true, thru, thru
Paint it true, paint it true
Check the sketch

Paint it true, thru, thru
Paint it true, paint it true

Check the sketch

I chose this time to relate to you
A state of mind, come habitual,
like a ritual, instinctual
Like you don't know how
But you know you will
Instilled on the in to will to the
Outside the world
sleepin' in pure formaldehyde
Crystal ball mirror upon the wall
What is the fate to befall us all
'cause I remember days I swear
you wore flowers in your hair
and I wore cloth on my limbs all bare we was there

But now nothin' is as was intended
can't walk the street without being apprehended
I feel so wretched and so perplex
So I flex the real in the artist sketch

I paint it true, I paint it true
paint it true , thru, thru
I paint it true

Paint it true
Paint it true , thru , thru
I paint it true, me to you
Me to you , paint it true
Paint it true, paint it true

You can feel whatever you wanna feel
When you paint it true
Check the sketch

Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true
me to you, thru , thru
I paint it true,
Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true, paint it true
Paint it true
That is all you gotta do
