The Purpose

[Verse 1] We use to talk the night away Text the same in the day But now its slain and I crave To just write the pain away All my life has been the same No relationships ever work My heart caves in and I'm ragin' Cuz I'm a slave to getting hurt And can't be freed for nuthin' Just ease the suffrin' Cuz i need to believe in sumthin' That feeds my hunger To see and meet that someone That holds the key to my comfort That I can keep and know that She ain't goin' nowhere But it seems JT is pushed to the side To realize there no one on whom to rely but God And though I try to ally with the masses They take advantage and I can't stand the fact that They just take me for granted Understand that I am just Trying to find myself, cuz Ive felt a lot of pain Lyricly I hold the belt But what is there to really gain If i can't change stress thats dealt So they could never feel my pain I might as well put up the mic and never Pick it up again [Hook] Never pick it up again Never pick it up again If i can't change stress thats dealt So they could never feel my pain I might as well put up the mic and never Pick it up again (x2) [Verse 2] This verse is for the people with nowhere to go Tired of stressin' For the people with no options But drugs to invest in So they can gain a little profit But don't know that in the end Its only two ways out In a casket or the pin Lord....I hope he can ball Please Or hope he can run with a baton Instead of from police I can see where you're headed Parents regrettin' the lessons never taught Obsessions were all wrong All along all he needed was some guidance He was living a life of defiance Trying to fight it were his teachers who saw a spark But could never ignite it Why did it have to go like this Striking is the image of his mom The night that he got life in prison "why didn't I listen! why didn't I listen!" That's what was written The first night of his sentence The life that he's livin' Isn't like what he visioned When he was just a lil' kid with Intentions of being a dentist Then again who am I to complain That's his family that Lost another life to the game And if this verse didn't prevent Another life lost in vain I might as well put up the mic And never pick it up again [Hook 2] Never pick it up again Never pick it up again If this verse didn't prevent Another life lost in vain I might as well put up the mic And never pick it up again (x2) [Outro] If my rap career is over And one life hasn't changed I should've just put up the mic And never picked it up again;
