Pure

[Verse 1]

Wonder what they see first, the fear or the fiction?

Tell the truth is a brave face, a shield or addiction, who want it?

Be the first soul to test my conviction, who run it?

I'm only talking with who running the kingdom (Brrt-brrt)

Phone ringing guess they need me now, oh they see me now

Cannot reach me match the hand me downs

This black on black feel kind of different, wow

They love the pigment, hate the trouble that we live with

Bless you gifted, proud

If you see a proud boy let him lift a smile

Let him lift you up even when they left you out, like what

These niggas that much better than me

Really paint a new Picasso like me, I don't see it?

I don't pree it, this tunnel vision relax me

Black leather mahogany in the back seat

Partition, they look at me like I'm one to watch

Where I'm from same looks could get your body dropped

I don't see em', I don't fear em', I don't need em'

Winter baby this cold season is cold season

Alone seasons for known reasons I'm like that

Got no demons that ain't leaving they fight back

I tried to warn them, I tried to tell em' they need me

I'm never classic, another classic it's easy

Money stuffed, I'm only spending on bail

Preacher, preacher I'm never going to hell

[Break]

The pure-hearted will always prosper

If they don't hear me they better hear me now though, facts

[Verse 2]

When idols became rivals, winners became spiteful

That thriller just ain't Michael, them streams just ain't tidal

I, pay the million dues before I saw a million views

Saw labels doing rounds on a million crews

That's 360 them numbers just look shifty

That glitter don't turn gold, them diamonds just look pretty

I ain't impressed, I've got enough to be stressed over

Your wave micro I treat rappers like left-overs

Nkrumah stepping we only bringing the best forwards

If needs be go clip-to-clip with your best soldiers

Be easy, we save the snubs for award shows

How we didn't win that MOBO only lord knows

Quick to forget, I did it with no regrets

The passion was militant, the vision was heaven sent, mm

Q told me "Keep it, honest, man, they have to hear you"

K told me "You're too different, man, they have to fear you"

Wretch told me that I'm next, we gave you colour purple

Mama told me that I'm blessed, boy they don't deserve you

Mama told me that I'm blessed, boy they don't deserve you

[Verse 3]

D&D I don't pick up I don't do digits, uh

I see the snakes, I see the sneaks, I hear the disses, uh

I take a toke, I blow the smoke, I see the mirrors, uh

First to last and built to last, I do the distance, uh

Overthinking, over-sipping, now I'm distant, uh

Wonder would they'd even miss me if I'm missing, uh

Cry to cry, don't cry for help when no-one listens, uh

The type of shit that turns your pride into a victim, uh

Mama told me "It na easy in dis ting

God life so be careful what you're risking

Some people only want the truth so they can twist it

Some people only want the love but they resist it"

[Outro]

Pure heart will always prosper
