PURPLE TUESDAY (feat. Joey Bada$$ & Jesse Boykins III)

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-I-verse 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 shawty 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 and 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, shawty, 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-I-verse 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
