Purpose
[Intro]
(That gets my heart pumping)
(That gets my heart pumping, oh yeah)
[Verse 1]
Keep on smiling even though nobody ain't joking
Big clouds around my face
From all the potent weed I'm smoking
I was never one to hang with man
But I didn't mind bringing the rope in
Us man are captains sailing through
Dem man are just about floating
I'm a big man but I'm not 30
29 years and I still ain't voting
It's all insulting
Like an open wound with salt in
Single mothers ain't coping
But I tell them keep on hoping
I thought dem man dere was my dargs
Till I see dem man moping
Man drink my drink, smile in my face
But I swear it's my girl they're poking
And they got the devil at the front door
And I swear their front door's wide open
And I swear their window's broken
It's a spell that can't be broken
When you live in the hood
And not one positive word gets spoken
Old problems evolving
A lot of new problems need solving
A lot of man wanna buss
But a lot of man still need coaching
It's the wrong labels they're approaching
And the wrong DJs keep hosting
Dem man are tryna get bread
While us man are out here toasting (winning)
I can see through them clear
Like a doughnut with a hole in
And I'm straight to the point like a pin
But I sure ain't bowling
I will leave dem man upset in the game
Like he let the goal in
[Hook]
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
[Verse 2]
I keep rolling
Ten years on the trot
And I'm still here mic controlling (it's the Murkle)
A lot of man hate
But I ain't got time for the feelings holding
Music's a gift but at the same time
I think it's an omen
But I still know I'm chosen
On a long, cold road that's frozen
I've seen a lot of souls get stolen
It's not a yellow brick road, that's golden (follow the yellow brick road)
I'm taking a gamble with the last token
I hope that I win, but if I lose
I'mma keep marching like Trojan
I believe in myself, so I keep on
Telling myself to keep believing
I believe and achieve and
Give thanks everyday I'm breathing
Turn up the speaker when I'm speaking
A lot of good artists mistreated
If you love good music, stand up
If you don't, then be seated
I could've died from the things I've tweeted
But I just tweet my feelings
No floors or walls or ceilings
I have purpose and I have meaning
They're on edge like trainers leaning
I've been here since Kel and Kenan
On the block where man was dealing
Man was shooting, robbing and stealing
They'd think they have to
Their life didn't have no value
I took time and picked up the manual
Now everyting's calm and casual
I'm glad that I saw the angle
Dem man are living their life rectangle
Always on arms like bangle
25 years I sure can't handle
Handle, handle, handle, handle
Can't get out the box like Paul Daniel
So I stick to my roots like Daniel's
Always on my toes like sandals
A lot of man stayed the same
But I made the change cause I had to
[Hook]
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
I'm rolling, I'm rolling, I'm rolling alone
