PURPLE

I think I’m gon’ be a little less derogative,
She so cold my eyes froze and god knows what happened then,
Well, maybe it's just me, see, I don’t speak her language,
She ain’t at my gigs, it's the cool kids that she hangs with

Now I could be brave,
Given the time and the place,
But the moment seems to always takes it away, you know?
I was easy with grades, college and placements,
Decent at sports and average engagements,
PC games in the basement,
And we move into bigger towns and start meeting strangers and,
This one weird chick at a random party, our numbers exchange
Life was never the same, no.

She so wild, she could hug a lion and tame it
Life was never the same, I couldn’t maintain it,
Sometimes so quiet, silence in a shell,
I just knew it when I fell, she got me so tripped out now

She’s so crazy she once punched a cop in the face,
No better balance have I seen of rage and grace
But she got taste and her heart in a good place
Stevie to herbie to paak, it's all her playlist
Yeaaah

Now I could tell ya, she might sound like priestess,
But you gotta know her well, to know what a real beast is,
Jesus!,
She’s more purple than pink, vapes more than she drinks,
She got this magical stare and winks more than she blinks
Not a curse but more than a jinx, her arbitrary ways of looking at things,
And I’m just like...
Holy shit!,
You gotta be kidding me,
I’m twisted through emotions as reality is hitting me,
Feels like a vampire cupid has come bitten me
Felt if I stuck around her enough, she might even set me free

Now is that all
Or is there more than meets the eye now?
Is she the truth or it's all deceitful lies now?
I asked about her Dad and he didn’t sound all that nice
I asked about her Mom and she already evaded twice,

Is she an easy come up or did she pay the price too?
Later found that she got taped in high school
A so-called boyfriend almost took her life too
The world found out and she got all that advice too,

Now nothing in her world would ever seem appealing,
Her broken heart had to close for some healing,
Crying alone while she drove past the sea link,
Sitcoms and stand up while staring at the ceiling

Years had passed and she’s not the same now,
Millennial times, she’s got the game now,
Smart as fuck like Hermione Granger
Watch your mouth brother, she don’t take shit from strangers.


I have magic, but she taught me how to be ruthless,
I had self-respect, but she showed me how to be selfless
I had powers but she taught me how to find purpose,
Made me see what the real work is.

*bridge*

She was wild she could hug a lion and tame it,
Life was never the same, I couldn’t maintain it,
Sometimes so quiet, silence in a shell,
I just knew it when I fell, she got me so tripped out now

She’s so crazy she once punched a cop in the face,
No better balance have I seen of rage and grace, no,
But she got taste and her heart in a good place
Stevie to herbie to Paak, it’s all in her playlist

Now I could tell you, she still sounds like priestess,
But you gotta know her well, to know what a real beast is,
Jesus!
She’s more purple than pink, vapes more than she drinks,
Got this magical stare and winks more than she blinks
Not a curse but more than a jinx and her arbitrary ways of looking at things,
I’m just like,
holy shit!,
It feels like a different day,
She a 'magic in the makeup' and a 'chaos in pouch' babe ,
You’ve never see serenity in a saree with a matching blouse ey?,
She blocking all them brothers like Rhonda Rousey

I hope that she knows I find her attractive,
That I see her for what she is and I’m not distracted, no,
Maybe i’m selfish and haven’t thought through this well,
Yea I got magic too but she a whole new spell

Native Indian India

Following the journey of a God-like being from the future traveling back in time to unearth the roots of his conditioning, we relive the lives of his ancestors, drink from their proverbial chalice, explore their interactions with their surroundings, and temporarily photostat the belief systems that governed those times. In Nature Of The Self, hip-hop’s power as a storytelling tool is resurrected ... more
