Paris London - Purple Reign Lyrics

You watched me wipe my tears
I can't hold back no mo
Now a days they show their colors
They don't act no more
Watch me sip this pain away
Tryna wipe this rain away
Homies dying they fade away
I just hope it go away
Purple reign
Purple Reign
Purple Reign
This a story about a black man who grew up on the south side
Seen murders and then shots fired
Be a soldier and just have pride
From a city where them slugs fly
I got that s*** that make a thug cry
I can tell that you a rookie, you ain't never seen a thug die
Living legend like I'm pac, what kind of thug am I
Looked my moms in her eyes and seen how far she came
She looked me back up in my eyes and seen all this pain
All the s*** I been through
I'm trying not to change
Even when it's sunny out , I'm still up in this rain
Becoming numb from all this nonsense and these homicides
Yeah the devil is a b**** she working overtime
Bodies dropping left to right
Be smart or lose your life
And I know life gets hard when it's a lot you sacrifice
Grew up in them apartments
All them nights when I was starving
Had to get it on my own but that only made me smarter
Stay close to who I am
Who I suppose to be
All them days I didn't eat
Ain't have no groceries
S*** was crazy had to man up
Hustle until the sun up
Too smart for streets ain't have to pick a gun up
You watched me wipe my tears
I can't hold back no mo
Now a days they show their colors
They don't act no more
Watch me sip this pain away
Tryna wipe this rain away
Homies dying they fade away
I just hope it go away
Purple reign
Purple Reign
Purple Reign
