Purest Love Lyrics - Blackalicious

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing 

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing 

Was born in a small town [Incomprehensible] California 

Where them gangstas bang ghetto life thuggin' on the corner 

Youngest child of six when I came pops split with momma 

Used to visit on the weekends, till he moved to the north side of Cali 

14 he died, 15 my mom's died 

Alcoholic diabetic forces were my life too 

Moved with my older brother taught me discipline 

But I wasn't ready though still shocked and holding pain in 

So I skipped school got F's got the posters on my wall 

Takin' down no TV times I felt like y'all ain't want me around 

Set up in my room developing the mind of a loner 

Writin' rhymes rappin' out my days instead of homework 

Through it all my three sisters placed the place like one time 

As I was like this rap thing is gonna pay I know that I was triflin' 

But still set in my ways livin' for better days 

Until I die I'm startin' if I'm broke or with that cheddar check 

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing 

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing 

Purest purest 

Purest purest 

Purest purest 

Purest purest 

The two realest cats I know? 

My two older brothers 

The most beautiful woman in the galaxy? 

My mother 

The strongest black women raising kids alone? 

My sisters 

The best part of my future 

Is my present love interest 

The most important time 

Right now and ever after 

The greatest expression 

Is love, happiness and laughter 

See life is a book and this song is just another chapter 

I'll stay down to earth and real if you speak I'll speak back 

I'm not a preacher or a scholar I'm merely just a rapper 

I probably don't fit in to the current state of 

What you consider that to be, so you ask how can I rap 

If I ain't thugged out, pimpin', flossin' my ice, packin' a gat 

Man if this is what I got, I want dough I can't lie 

But never sell my soul 'n front inside mainstream's eyes 

The purest love is how I'm driven, sent and reach for my goals 

If nothing else I'll leave the world some songs that speak from the soul 

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing 

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing 

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing 

One precious love so good to me 

One precious love the purest thing
