Purest Love

One precious love so good to me One precious love the purest thing One precious love so good to me One precious love the purest thing Was born in a small town Panorama, California Where them gangstas bang ghetto life thuggin on the corner Youngest child of six When I came pops split with momma Used to visit on weekends Til he moved to the north side of Cali 14 he died, 15 my moms died Alcoholic diabetic forces were my life too Moved with my older brother 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 ya'll 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 right But still set in my ways livin for better days Until I die I'm startin if I'm broke or with that cheddar check One precious love so good to me One precious love the purest thing One precious love so good to me One precious love the purest thing Purest purest Purest purest Purest purest purest purest! Love The two realest 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 And front inside of 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 One precious love so good to me One precious love the purest thing One precious love so good to me One precious love the purest thing One precious love so good to me One precious love the purest thing
