Purest Love

One precious love
So good to me
One precious love
The purest thing
Was born in a small town, California
Where them gangstas bang ghetto life, thugging on the corner
Youngest child of six
When I came pop split with momma
Used to visit on weekends
Till he moved to the north side of Cali
14 he died, 15 my mom's side
Alcoholic, diabetic, forces with my life too
Moved with my older brother who taught me discipline
But I wasn't ready though, still shocked and holding pain in
So I skipped school got F's
Got the posters on my wall taken down, no TV,
Times I felt like you ain't want me around
Set up in my room developing the mind of a loner
Writin' rhymes, rappin' out my days instead of homework
Through it all my three sisters placed the place like one time
As I was like this rap thing is gonna pay I know that I was triflin'
But still set in my way,s livin for better days
Until I die I'm strivin', if I'm broke or with that cheddar check
One precious love
So good to me
One precious love
The purest thing
Purest purest
Love
The two illest cats I know? My two older brothers.
The most beautiful woman in the galaxy? My mother.
The strongest black women raising kids alone? My sisters.
The best part of my future is my present love interest.
The most important time? Right now and ever after
The greatest expression is love, happiness, and laughter
See life is a book and this song is just another chapter
I'll stay down to earth and real if you speak I'll speak back
I'm not a preacher or a scholar, I'm merely just a rapper
I probably don't fit in to the current state of -
- what you consider that to be
So you ask how can I rap
If I ain't thugged out, pimpin', flossin' my ice, packin a gat?
Man if this is what I got, I want dough I can't lie
But never sell my soul 'n front inside mainstream's eyes
The purest love is how I'm driven, sent, and reach for my goals
If nothing else I'll leave the world some songs that speak from the soul
One precious love
So good to me
One precious love
The purest thing
