Blackalicious - Purest Love lyrics

rate me

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 (?), 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 the weekends

Till 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

takin 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 triflin

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 'n front inside 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
