[Rejjie Snow, Joey Bada$$, Jesse Boykins Iii - PURPLE TUESDAY lyrics]
Seven years old, I asked Christ and the genie
Ten years old, I seen my friend die really
Genie in the bottle though it's
Jenny on the block
I'm Houdini with the Uzi, holy father
Wake me up
Time traveller, that boy, he a star
Blowing bubbles in the faces
Of the people afar
'97 Hov playing, trunk rattled the car
Wet lick done licked the gold
Stars of my heart
Golden roses over enemies and
Sprinkled with serenity
Tryna stain the legacy, pray to Allah
And fo' sho'
Got you rappers Instagramming your ma
With that North Face jacket
Blade tucked in my-
Way, way before the tomb came the womb
No question
And out came his black ass, remember
You was yellow with your
Black bandana with your fingers all twisted
June 19th '87 in the kitchen
The straw that broke the camel's back
In love with your life
Have you ever walked home afraid
Alone in the night?
Have you ever taken drink inside
The loo just in case?
Cause the fears of a man just
Like God to my cape
And the rap game crazy but
The coke came at 'em
Eve came home feeling fruity and we smashing
All of that ass got me feeling real ratchet
The chicken came before the egg
And way before the atoms
Cancelling the shows and making
Money off of acting
Rain, rain pouring like the
Bezels in my chalice
Potentially we could build a galaxy
This you-and-Iverse could be
More than just the dreams of the living
I could see the you in me
So let's keep giving to the stars
I know that I could take you far
Far, far away from here
Where we should be u-N-I T-Y
Where we should be u-N-I T-Y, that's a unity
Where we should be u-N-I T-Y
You and me u-N-I T-Y, that's a unity
The man rose, little concrete roads
Put your hands together, folks
For the black roach
'Bout to deliver like Stagecoach
Know I stay posted, my nigga
(that was it) , yo, what's the signs?
My fountain of youth is
All drying, one minute, we all smiling
Then poof
We fall silent and I've been digging deep
For this thing, I ain't finding this
Either I'm insane in my brain
Or to be honest, that's
Probably what it is
Done seen a lot of shit that
You probably can't live with
You probably can't stomach
You probably can't ingest
At times, we were so hungry
Got mad dreams and wishes
It'll all get sunny
But for now it's this money that
Determines and divides
That's insuring our lives
Even causing homicides on the streets of NY
A little shorty asked me what's
My purpose and why?
I told him save the children and
Point them right at the light
He said for sure, that's tight
But where the dollar signs in that
Them hella fine dimes with that ass so fat
That Phantom and the Maybach
That black MAC that go crick-crack
That's when I say yo, chill, shorty, relax
Let me open your mind to the current times
If visions is colourblind, it's fine
Your light will still shine as
I consume this time he begin to unravel
And travel to a place he thought
That he would never find, uh
U-N-I T-Y u-N-I T-Y, that's a unity
U-N-I T-Y u-N-I T-Y, that's a unity
Potentially we could build a galaxy
This you-and-Iverse could be
More than just the dreams of the living
I could see the you in me
So let's keep giving to the stars
I know that I could take you far
Far, far away from here
Where we should be where we should be
Where we should be you and me
What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say
What do we do? We got a duty, gotta save, ayy
What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say
These are the days that we pray for love
Oh, I wonder, wonder, wonder: where is love?
What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say
What do we do? We got a duty, gotta save, ayy
What do we do? We got a duty, gotta say
These are the days that we pray for love
Oh, I wonder, wonder if it's up above
(Like that? Uh)
Like that, y'all-y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all
Y'all-y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all
Y'all, badman and ting badman ah gwan
Badman gon' sing, yo badman ah
Badman do badman fi do
Badman do, yeah yeah
What? Yeah
What? What? What? Yeah, yeah, what?
Ten years old, I seen my friend die really
