Sketch Songtext
von Stereo MC’s

Feel that

Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Through and through
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true

Are you having problems tuning in?
Are the truths that you′re seeing deceptively thin?
I've come to clear up and pull you out of your spin
Don′t adjust your set, just let me begin

I wanna tell you about the daily barrage, commercial breaks
Living in a mirage, seeing stars that are fake
They make you sedate as your thoughts gestate
They're like "can't wait", now it′s too late


And I see my mistakes
Don′t love and hate, it ain't what you make of life
Don′t you see I buckle at the knee?
The pressure round, it won't let you be
I wanna know why we ain′t conversing
I wanna know why we're always reversing
Fodder me off with a web of diversion
Check the artist sketch if you want a true version

Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Through and through
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true

Paint it true, 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 you
Don′t be afraid when you don′t understand
'Cause your life span′s only just began
And every step you take is as good as a stand
First impressions don't count like a sleight 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 sketch


Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Through and through
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true

So check the sketch, no dust collects
Never fades, degrades, soul mate to make you stretch

Agile, worthwhile, nothing come from a vial or capsule

I got a natural smile
Turn out the lights, tell me can′t you see
What 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 misdemeanours, I'm taking it serious
The flesh is weak, you must protect it
If you forget, check how the artist sketch it

Now, paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Through and through
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true

Through and through
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 world
Sleeping in pure formaldehyde
Crystal ball, mirror on the wall
What is the fate of it for 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 nothing is as was intended
Can't walk the street without being apprehended
I feel so wretched and so perplexed
So I flex the real in the artist sketch

Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Through and through
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true

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′re painted true
Check the sketch

Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true

Me to you
Through and through
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true
Paint it true

And that is all that you got to do
