Purple (Explicit Version) - Nas (奈斯)[00:00:00]
Light it uhh[00:00:03]
Light it up uhh[00:00:05]
The whole city is mine prettiest Don[00:00:07]
I don't like the way P Diddy did Shyne with different lawyers[00:00:10]
Why it's mentioned in my rhymes F**k it it's just an intro[00:00:13]
Hate it or love it like it bump it or dump it[00:00:17]
Writing across the stomach spell GOD son[00:00:19]
Life is like a jungle black it's like the habitat of Tarzan[00:00:20]
Matter of fact it's harder than most can imagine[00:00:23]
Most of my niggaz packed in correctional facilities[00:00:25]
Half of them passed on mack strong couple of shots[00:00:27]
May the ghost leave a body now they hauntin the block[00:00:30]
Where they used to stand at somebody's takin they place[00:00:32]
A younger man perhaps hand slaps can't understand that[00:00:35]
Same walk same talk I wonder can that be possible[00:00:37]
A thug dies another step inside his shoes[00:00:40]
And they will hurt you layin low with a bottle[00:00:42]
I'm blowin circles my state of mind purple[00:00:46]
Light it light it uhh[00:00:53]
Yeah light it up light it up uhh[00:01:00]
Y'all just wanna deal with drama[00:01:07]
Talk about niggaz who got things y'all ready to kill his momma[00:01:09]
Everything you went to is underworld related[00:01:12]
You sell your man out not even your girl is sacred[00:01:14]
You don't trust a soul hold up you moldin soldiers[00:01:18]
To pull guns quick and always look behind the shoulder[00:01:20]
Think of how many dudes died tryin to be down with you[00:01:22]
Everybody's under six feet of ground but you[00:01:24]
Still standin still roamin through the streets that's real[00:01:26]
You a survivor knowin all the beef is ill[00:01:29]
You got a bunch of thugs witchu even now that's ready[00:01:31]
Trustin your judgment quick to put it down they deadly[00:01:34]
The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day[00:01:37]
A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away[00:01:39]
That ain't love it's hate think of all the mothers at wakes[00:01:42]
Whose sons you killed and you ain't got a cut on your face [00:01:44]
Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard the heat is God[00:01:47]
Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars[00:01:50]
Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars holdin a mirror[00:01:51]
Lookin down a tear in jail makin weapons to kill ya[00:01:54]
We smoke three tokes ni**a pour more Henny[00:01:57]
He sighs with eyes that seen a war too many[00:01:59]
Cold-blooded murderers universal[00:02:02]
Hood to hood blowin smoke state of mind is purple[00:02:03]
Light it up light it up light it up uhh[00:02:08]
Light it up light it up light it up uhh[00:02:13]
Uhh uhh uhh light it light it uhh[00:02:19]
These hot-headed youngsters always get into trouble[00:02:26]
Reactin before thinkin they easily irritated[00:02:29]
And murder's premeditated it's a fact that we sinkin[00:02:31]
When we should be climbin in a nutshell it's just jail[00:02:34]
Drug sales liquor and diamonds niggaz rewindin[00:02:36]
Instead of movin forward to blow up so what's the science [00:02:38]
People shoutin police pushin the crowd[00:02:41]
And on the ground's a young soldier with meat hangin out him[00:02:43]
Am I hallucinatin off the hazin [00:02:46]
Or did I just see a ni**a shoot another ni**a's face in[00:02:48]
It's a ugly nation cops circle the block with mug shots[00:02:51]
Photograph pictures of suspect faces[00:02:53]
It's usually two or three niggaz who innocent[00:02:56]
But if they lock the wrong ones up then someone'll snitch[00:02:58]
A divide and fall strategy they aren't fair[00:03:01]
I dig in my bag of w**d that's covered with orange hair[00:03:03]
This Color Purple'll make Whoopi give me the p**sy[00:03:06]
( ) Oprah and Danny Glover gots to feel me[00:03:08]
This is how I escape the madness too much of anything'll hurt you[00:03:11]
So my state of mind's all purple[00:03:14]
