BATAWI - Purpose Lyrics

This that life shit I can't tell my family about
They see my confidence and cheer me, still I feel they doubt
I think to think I'm right challenges how they see their lives
See I was built for this, they'd rather 9 to 5

Visions of us winning many moons before
You had to see yourself make it then purchase what's in store
Vanessa told me "People f*cking with the music" thankful sure
But I hope they f*ckin with the message even more

All I had were dreams, nobody else could see
Nobody else believed, nobody else but me
Not in it for the fame that'll live a couple weeks
Not in it for the money that won't help me rest in peace

I do it to be free, this is Khaled's legacy
I do it for the kid whom you told would run these streets
I took the pain and flipped when I laced it in these beats
For the generations coming long after I breathe

Cool breeze, water dripping at a Sandy beach
Meditatin' feeling grateful in Miami Beach
Got my momma an apartment now she next to me
A young prince to be king gotta love his queen

Single mother, Only child it's just you and I
You can see it in my eyes why it's do or die
I speak the future knowing well they'd call it foolish pride
If you believe it and you speak it well then you arrived

This is real life
Do the shit i feel like
Wakin up i feel right
No its not perfect
Im happy anyways
Yeah I'm blessed so many ways
Exercising all my faith
Living out my purpose

This is real life
Do the shit i feel like
Wakin up i feel right
No its not perfect
Im happy anyways
Yeah I'm blessed so many ways
Exercising all my faith
Living out my purpose

Used to wonder how the high life feel
Now my lowest point brighter than a highlight reel
Raised stakes, Bet my days on my ideas
Now I Race against myself to beat My Ideals for real

Vinylz praising me and on my beats and my flow on different
Timbaland showing love on my Instagram I'm lifted
Man I told you I would come get it and I did
Best Producers in the World Supporting the kid

I flip defeat into victory
Took what no one would give to me
Grandma wore black for seven years
Held my breath when I went to sleep
Rest in peace hope you visit me
Music was the only way I could that I could grieve
Before I die i need to breathe

But I
Just keep getting lit
Think about a therapist but call up a bitch
Workin on the problems getting rich can't fix

No role models f*ck hoes thats the motto
Reachin for my breaks when they grabbin at my throttle
Bitches see the money sing your name in vibrato like (time flies)

Yeah
I'm losing all my manners
Mama drivin' me bananas
And my nana always got something to say
Ain't picking up the phone cause she always complain

I used to feel guilty when the phone buzz
Now I feel guilty if the phone don't
I'm buzzing even more than phone does
And all I had to do was disconnect and leave the phone alone

Time to turn the page
Walkin off the stage
Beats, hooks, verses
They already chant my name

It's not a f*ckin game
I always stayed the same
People see me living
Now they wanna do the same

This is real life
Do the shit i feel like
Wakin up i feel right
No its not perfect
Im happy anyways
Yeah I'm blessed so many ways
Exercising all my faith
Living out my purpose

This is real life
Do the shit i feel like
Wakin up i feel right
No its not perfect
Im happy anyways
Yeah I'm blessed so many ways
Exercising all my faith
Living out my purpose
