Purple Hearts Lyrics

[00:33.68] Mmm, tippy-toein' and I'm mud-walkin', hmm
[00:38.37] Rollin' sevens, I ain't ready for no coffin
[00:41.70] I know y'all love it when the drugs talkin', but
[00:45.04] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[00:48.45] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[00:51.74] If God be the source then I am the plug talkin'
[00:55.05] Yeah, baby
[00:56.67] Yeah, baby
[00:58.35] Yeah, baby
[01:00.15] Yeah, baby
[01:02.72] This my undisputed truth, uh-huh
[01:05.84] My life is like forbidden fruit, my bitch know better than I do
[01:09.43] A woman's worth, I barely went to church
[01:11.77] I'd rather fast with you than fuck it up
[01:13.83] Fuckin' with skirts 'cause I'm rational
[01:16.34] A nigga still gon' be a nigga, emoji heart, my family pictures
[01:19.91] Two-steppin' away from rappers, I don't trust their true intentions
[01:23.44] I'm not in the music business, I been in the human business
[01:27.11] Whole life been social distant, hoes like, "When you not trippin'?"
[01:30.44] I duck the party, who said they saw me?
[01:33.74] Crown on Bob Marley, wrist on Yo Gotti
[01:37.21] They gon' judge your life for a couple likes on the double tap
[01:40.68] Them hoes is sorry, they all get bodied
[01:44.15] I bless it that you have an open heart, I bless that you forgive
[01:47.65] I bless it that you can learn from a loss, I bless it that you heal
[01:51.23] I bless one day that you attract somebody with your mind exact
[01:54.71] A patient life, flaws, bless 'em twice and they'll bless you back
[01:58.28] Tippy-toein' and I'm mud-walkin', hmm
[02:02.08] Rollin' sevens, I ain't ready for no coffin
[02:05.38] I know y'all love it when the drugs talkin', but
[02:08.69] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[02:12.07] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[02:15.44] If God be the source, then I am the plug talkin'
[02:18.73] Yeah, baby
[02:20.40] Yeah, baby
[02:22.04] Yeah, baby
[02:23.88] Yeah
[02:27.17] How's love (how's love) when it's heart to your soul?
[02:30.63] But my nigga, left his ass on the road
[02:34.12] Gossipin' 'bout some shit you don't know
[02:37.58] Oh, you ho (yeah, yeah, yeah, fasho)
[02:40.30] I hate it here, baby daddy still on my phone
[02:44.30] I hate it here, askin' if I been on the pole
[02:47.56] I hate it here
[02:49.56] If you keep lurkin' on the low
[02:51.68] If you a fan, just let me know
[02:53.51] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
[02:56.74] Now if it's love, I deserve to get some head on a balcony sometimes, sometimes
[03:03.77] And if I feel where your heart can be, you'll still be a part of me
[03:07.75] I love mine, love mine (love mine, love mine)
[03:11.69] Summer in the storm, I cannot conform
[03:14.99] (I cannot conform, I cannot conform)
[03:18.55] I just might love you still, just think I love me more
[03:22.24] It ain't love if you gon' judge me for my past
[03:24.76] No, it ain't love if you ain't never eat my ass
[03:27.27] It ain't love if you just only tie me down because you seen me in my bag
[03:31.65] That's why I'm anti-everyone before this mask
[03:34.49] Mmm, tippy-toein' and I'm mud-walkin', hmm
[03:39.48] Rollin' sevens, I ain't ready for no coffin
[03:42.80] I know y'all love it when the drugs talkin', but
[03:46.02] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[03:49.38] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[03:52.73] If God be the source, then I am the plug talkin'
[03:56.29] Yeah, baby
[03:57.79] Yeah, baby
[03:59.37] Yeah, baby
[04:01.28] Yeah
[04:02.52] Yo, yo
[04:03.59] Telekinesis, I'm purifyin' these D speeches
[04:06.88] While I'm cryin', I clean the feet of the sweet Jesus
[04:10.71] Dreams, visions get blurry of the Elohim, it's light
[04:14.60] It's known to tear retinas in a single gleam
[04:17.25] Shut the fuck up when you hear His love talkin'
[04:20.54] To the mind, it's God's cypher divine in a small portion, uh
[04:24.67] Faded pictures, this global madness, the intervention
[04:27.58] This world's in The Twilight Zone, this is the fifth dimension
[04:31.16] God, please blow the whistle, we need a intermission
[04:34.31] My good deeds in front of your door, I'm standin' by the entrance
[04:37.92] With heavy baggage, my brother's ashes
[04:40.30] I seen tragic, I did dirt, smacked death and held it to that nigga cabbage
[04:44.98] Love, we killin' greed, we killin' homelessness
[04:48.40] And I don't give a fuck about this land, I want ownership
[04:53.18] Bow your head for just God's sake
[04:55.31] Listen what the stars say when I say it's God's way
[04:59.12] Tippy-toein' and I'm mud-walkin', hmm
[05:02.78] Rollin' sevens, I ain't ready for no coffin
[05:05.90] I know y'all love it when the drugs talkin', but
[05:09.45] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[05:12.75] Shut the fuck up when you hear love talkin'
[05:16.11] If God be the source, then I am the plug talkin'
[05:19.72] Yeah, baby
[05:21.07] Yeah, baby
[05:22.79] Yeah, baby
[05:24.53] Yeah, baby
