Ike - Purity Lyrics

I ain't the purest soul, not hard to admit that
Did a lot things I ain't proud of when I look back (Uh)
Conceived in the world as clean slate, yeah I get that
But that don't change a damn thing when life shit outta whack (Yeah)
Knew I wasn't the perfect child in my pops eyes
He seen through all my flaws and steered for the clear sight
'09 that nigga left me in the dark and took my light
At that time I lost all my heart and lost demon fights
Moms on the other hand was working day and night (Yeah)
The kid had mature early at the age of nine
Keep all ten toes down in order to stand his ground
Times was hard to smile tryna avoid a frown (Uh, yeah)
Once the kid grow up, his eyes for the world changed
As he gained sense for the price he had paid
When tryna love the world that was all full of hate
For God sake, I question faith
"Why the Garden of Eden filled up with snakes?"
Guess that's why the planet got nothing but fakes
(Got nothing but fakes, got nothing but fakes, got nothing but fakes)
Got nothing but fakes, got nothing but fakes, yeah

Yeah (Yeah)

Hardest thing I had to learn was not everybody loves you (Nah)
Despite of them claiming they f*ck with you, knowing it wasn't true
Colors shown from the world is a dark shade
The brighter colors always seems to fade away
I knew I was a slave to the game
Wearin' gold chains just like Kunta Kinte that suffered nothing but pain
Got sucked into the black hole where you trapped behind a gate
Tough to come out to the facade of the world without hate
At this point of my life, I'm done giving my heart out
To bitches that say they love you when don't though
You can give them the planet and universe but they want more
They'll leave you in dust you were made from and get the f*ck on
Lotta shit niggas would do for money, if you ask me (Shit)
They'll switch up, leave ya, or even maybe kill ya
But time and time again they'll say that you they nigga
Once it's time to run up them seven figures my nigga, go figure
All I'm saying is the whole world itself full of impurities (Yeah)
Nobody is perfect and I know that for certain, yeah

And I know that for certain
