Purple Brick Road

Lyrics

Forever may not exist
 But man do we got our moments
 Killing time, making a name
 Wasn't 'bout money or the fame
 Why hide scars?
 It's who we are
 It's who we are
 Purple cloths is on me, salute my presence
 DNA is worth a fortune but I've still seen a life of peasants
 I gave y'all style,
 taught you how to be fly, go 'head and grace the sky
 Gave you wings to soar like you ought to
 Forever may not exist in the flesh but my music will
 All praises due to the Most High
 With my toast, shocked the world, wasn't Casper when I said
 I came through when the roaster blow in half a Billy Goat
 Just because I'm living this life I'm accustomed to it
 Floating in them fly cars, damn I'm supposed to do it
 Pretty women fall in love with my expensive taste, luxury, lust
 Physical touch by this ace, handcuff 'em
 That's a no no 'cause I don't trust them far as I can throw those
 Gold diggin' vixens who's in love with the coco
 But fuck it, you know I'm here for this dough though
 Let's pop another bottle of Don and watch our gross grow
 I love it
 Forever may not exist
 But man do we got our moments
 Killing time, making a name
 Wasn't 'bout money or the fame
 Why hide scars?
 It's who we are
 It's who we are
 Clarity stones in my bracelets, watches and rings
 From a rich nigga's perspective you know what that brings
 Hatred, what do I do when I'm so used to shittin' on 'em
 Do I stop because a jealous ass coward wants me to
 Or do I go harder and buy more diamonds and blind his crew
 Fuck it, I guess I do that 'cause I love to make 'em blue
 Getting 'em bags, stayin' fly, stayin' high
 Do what I wanna, no more strugglin' just to get by
 Yes, fresher than a new born baby's ass
 New money, got my ex wishin' she was never in my past
 I laugh, enjoy these fruits from my labor
 But still feel the strain and pain that be from my labor
 Spent my time to achieve all of the fortune and fame
 And for myself makin' a name
 But deep inside I try to cover up the scars to be a shinin' star
 I guess that's just who we are
 Forever may not exist
 But man do we got our moments
 Killing time, making a name
 Wasn't 'bout money or the fame
 Why hide scars?
 It's who we are
 It's who we are
 Forever may not exist but who else is as hot as this?
 I played the beat then I tried at this
 Cuban links on my neck and I just put a presidential on my wrist
 This year you haters gonna acknowledge this
 It's G-Rapo and Raekwon, told the homies this wouldn't take long
 My verses always just as real as the true story it's based on
 Chopped the blow on the table plenty times
 In the lines that she puts her face on
 And this is not by accident
 Anything can happen if you simply imagine it
 My OG put a torch to the blunt then he's passin' it
 Believe in something,
 stand for it or take a knee and stand like Kaepernick
 Anything to get the point across makin' a statement
 You'll only go as far as you take it
 20 years later and we're still slappin' that purple tape shit
 Greatness so close I can taste it, face it
 Forever may not exist
 But man do we got our moments
 Killing time, making a name
 Wasn't 'bout money or the fame
 Why hide scars?
 It's who we are
 It's who we are
