Purple Brick Road (Explicit)

Purple Brick Road (紫色磚路) (Explicit) - Raekwon/G-Eazy (Gerald Earl Gillum)

Written by：Raekwon/G-Eazy

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 the scars

It's who we are

It's who we are

Purple cloths 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 f**k 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 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 ni**a'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 a** coward wants me to

Or do I go harder and buy more diamonds and blind his crew

F**k 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 a**

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 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 sh*t

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
