Lyrics

Purpose

[Intro: Calboy]

I found my purpose

Niggas know I'm in first place

Niggas broke, can’t get no bread, that boy a bird brain

Niggas dissin' me, might catch him in the worst way

Kash, turn me up a little bit

[Verse 1: Calboy]

Niggas know I'm in first place

Niggas broke, can’t get no bread, that boy a bird brain

Niggas dissin' me, might catch him in the worst way

And my shawty gon' blow his candles out like birthday

And my shooter's gun squad might pull up to your workplace

Oh, yeah, ayy, I'm tryna count these bands

I ain't talkin' 'bout bird gate, but I’m tryna hop in this bed

On the block we lurkin’, shoot a fuck nigga in the head

Broke niggas make me nervous, I just wanna count these deads

[Chorus: Calboy]

Fucked a bitch off this Perky, I ain't even count my meds

Bitch, I ain’t lackin', I grip this 30, nigga wan' tweak it', I’m sprayin'

And I slide up in the trap and I found my purpose, I was tryna move these grams

Had to scrape that pot, did it way too perfect, Unc like, "I'll be damned"

[Verse 2: Calboy]

I just been smokin' Gelato, I got a drill full of hollows

I got a bitch, she a model, she wanna suck it and swallow

Woke up one morning and [?] my niggas had popped me a bottle

Now the whole gang pullin' up in them Bentleys, we used to be deep in the Tahoes

I'm the man with the plan, with the bands in my hand and I still don't give no fuck

If you stuck in that jam, you'd tell on your mans, don't talk to me 'bout no trust

Rounds, rounds, we let 'em bust, wanna get wild? Then, nigga, it's up

Smoke out the pound, nigga, I'm stuck, them killers around so you can get touched

[Chorus: Calboy]

Fucked a bitch off this Perky, I ain't even count my meds

Bitch, I ain't lackin', I grip this 30, nigga wan' tweak it', I'm sprayin'

And I slide up in the trap and I found my purpose, I was tryna move these grams

Had to scrape that pot, did it way too perfect, Unc like, "I'll be damned"

Fucked a bitch off this Perky, I ain't even count my meds

Bitch, I ain't lackin', I grip this 30, nigga wan' tweak it', I'm sprayin'

And I slide up in the trap and I found my purpose, I was tryna move these grams

Had to scrape that pot, did it way too perfect, Unc like, "I'll be damned"

[Verse 3: G Herbo]

I'm in my bag and my Birkin, hope you don't take shit personal

A nigga had to get rich on purpose, been tryna make shit work with you

I was in too deep with gorillas, walk in the means with killers

Now I'm in [?], tryna figure out somewhere the youngins can eat in the winter

Born sinner, foreign whipper, Dior prince

Had to switch up my old image, I'm a cold nigga

I was frontline with most my hittas, I prolly roll with you

Pussy, hangin' with who told, you ain't no different

And when I get in mode, I can feel my soul shiftin'

I been through so much shit, you might feel involved listenin'

Gotta duck cops, know they wanna give us all sentences

But I'm on a mission, the money gon' come [?] 'cause niggas was riskin' it

[Chorus: Calboy]

Fucked a bitch off this Perky, I ain't even count my meds

Bitch, I ain't lackin', I grip this 30, nigga wan' tweak it', I'm sprayin'

And I slide up in the trap and I found my purpose, I was tryna move these grams

Had to scrape that pot, did it way too perfect, Unc like, "I'll be damned"

Fucked a bitch off this Perky, I ain't even count my meds

Bitch, I ain't lackin', I grip this 30, nigga wan' tweak it', I'm sprayin'

And I slide up in the trap and I found my purpose, I was tryna move these grams

Had to scrape that pot, did it way too perfect, Unc like, "I'll be damned"

[Outro]

Kash, Turn Me up a little bit
