Purple Brick Road

Forever may not exist But man do we got our moments Killing time making a name Wasn't about 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 taugh you how to be fly Go 'head and grace the sky Gave you wings to soar like you oughta 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 I rose to blow half a billy goat Just because I'm living this life I'm accustomed to it Floatin' 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 as far as I can throw though 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 Dom 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 about 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 am I supposed to 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 Gettin' 'em back 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 about 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 a 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 about money or the fame Why hide scars? It's who we are It's who we are --- Purple Brick Road - Raekwon and G-Eazy
