Potter Payper - Purple Rain lyrics

Had to question everything I stand for
Still purple rain and maintaining
Through the downpour
Cold night sleeping on the ground floor
I don't hate my father I just
Wish he was around more
Nanny came on a visit and she just broke down
She says she looks at me as
If I was her own child
And only I can choose the
Road I'm gonna go down
So I know I'm on my own when it goes down
But sometimes I can't cope G I can't lie
Cah from young I been addicted
To this fast life
Like I swear we were so high last night
And we didn't make it home
'til like half five
And this is real shit this
Ain't just the weed talking
Every time I get away I hear a fiend calling


I spend money I ain't got like a remortgage
I ain't slept for days
Feeling like I'm sleepwalking
When I'm just tryna dodge another sentence
Stan Tookie Williams I'm just
Looking for redemption
Hoodrat bitches holla looking for attention
Snakes hissing in the distance and
I can sense 'em fake man wanna smile
Say they're down to ride
On the low I know the same
Man wanna fuck my wife
In the hood there ain't nothing but
Some fucking sluts and liars
But, I'll clutch and rise it you
Could get touched I'm riding
Looking for a Judas 44's, tre 8's
Dottys and some Rugers
OT grow yard ciggies and some jewelers
Living for today like we
Ain't got no futures
And I don't really wanna change
Seen so much shit
Some shit I don't even wanna say
'99 they said my mummy went on holiday
I found out that my mummy was in Holloway
But home is where the heart is
So I'm loving where I live
And I know most man never
Struggled like I did
I was coming home hungry weren't
Nothing in the fridge so I had to hit the
Road like something's gotta give
'05 me and Dizz hitting
Kitties outta Holborn
Chicks couldn't grasp why I
Wouldn't show emotion
Had to tell that bitch chill
I live among some vultures
And a home ain't a home
When your homes broken
And a home ain't a home
When your homes broken
And then it gets harder
Feltham, Chelmsford, Aylesbury, parva
And I got some youts that need looking after
Two little girls that will
Never know their father
Cus daddy was a criminal
Mummy couldn't cope
So daddy went jail, left mummy on her own
I was talking to the mandem they're
Like when you coming home?
Just keep rapping it could happen
Trust me you can blow
I gotta trap cah it's the only life I know
And my nanny's always telling me
As if I don't know
And now I heard it's action
What defines the man
Blowing macaroni got me thinking 'bout
This life I've had
And I'm just thinking 'bout this life I live
As I'm getting older had to question
Would I die for this?
Man are riding life in bin
Shit the cases in the Old Bailey
Separated mice from men
From young I learnt don't talk
You know the game
You get caught that's your own fault
Did my first sentence as a baby boy
Born in the 90's
Fucking with them 80's boys
Olders put me on road
Back when it was all love
Road taught me everything
Teacher never taught us
Road taught me everything
Teacher never taught us
But don't front like roads something
That you're built for
Cus you could die for something
You wouldn't kill for
Mad years behind that steel door
Mad years on my strip mummy's still poor
Wait there's still more I'm trapping 24's G
Up and down in and out 'til I got sore feet
'04 to '06 I never saw sleep
Raw B had me counting bags at 14
'07 I left the crown court free
Back and forth on Feltham for like 4 weeks
'08 I was back behind that door G
Firearms charge I rid the whole 4 peak
But, I rid that
The life you dickheads rap about I live that
Pebble down a big batch
G-star pack and told him flip that
I told him take 3 and bring 6 back
And T's been gone for a
Minute now I miss akh
And I miss C and I miss whites on
My kids life everyday I risk mine
I'm just tryna live right so
I gotta do wrong
Couldn't see you walking two steps
With my shoes on
Ratchet always told me re-up
Before your foods gone
Ratchet always told me re-up
Before your foods gone
