Purple Brick Road Lyrics - Raekwon

Forever? 

Money or the fame 

Well I had scars, it's who we are 

It's who we are 

Purple? on me salute my presence 

DNA is worth a fortune but I've still seen a life of peasants 

I gave y'all style taugh you how to be fly 

Go 'head and grace the sky 

Gave you wings to soar like you oughta 

Forever may not exist in the flesh but my music will 

All praises due to the most high 

When my? shocked the world 

Wasn't casper when I said I came through? 

Just because I'm living this life I'm accustomed to it 

Floatin' in them fly cars damn I'm supposed to do it 

Pretty women fall in love with my expensive taste, luxury, lust 

Physical touch by this ace, handcuff 'em 

That's a no no 'cause I don't trust them as far as I can throw though 

Gold diggin' vixens who's in love with the coco 

But fuck it, you know I'm here for this dough though 

Let's pop another bottle of dawn and watch our gross grow 

I love it

Forever? 

Money or the fame 

Well I had scars, it's who we are 

It's who we are 

Clarity, stones in my bracelets, watches and rings 

From a rich nigga's perspective you know what that brings 

Hatred, what am I supposed to do when I'm so used to shittin' on 'em 

Do I stop because a jealous ass coward wants me to 

Or do I go harder and buy more diamonds and blind his crew 

Fuck it, I guess I do that 'cause I love to make em blue 

Gettin' 'em back stayin' fly, stayin' high 

Do what I wanna, no more strugglin' just to get by 

Yes, fresher than a new born baby's ass 

New money, got my ex wishin' she was never in my past 

I laugh, enjoy these fruits from my labor 

But still feel the strain and pain that be from my labor 

Spent my time to achieve all of the fortune and fame 

And for myself makin' a name 

But deep inside I try to cover up scars to be a shinin' star 

I guess that's just who we are

Forever? 

Money or the fame 

Well I had scars, it's who we are 

It's who we are 

Forever may not exist but who else is as hot as this 

I played the beat then I tried at this 

Cuban links on my neck and I just put a presidential on my wrist 

This year you haters gonna acknowledge this 

It's G-Rapo and Raekwon 

Told the homies this wouldn't take long 

My verses always just as real as a true story it's based on 

Chopped the blow on the table plenty times 

In the lines that she puts her face on 

And this is not by accident 

Anything can happen if you simply imagine it 

My OG put a torch to the blunt and he's passin' it 

Believe in something, stand for it, or take a knee and stand like Kaepernick 

Anything to get the point across makin' a statement 

You'll only go as far as you take it 

20 years later and we're still slappin' that purple tape shit 

Greatness so close I can taste it, face it 

Forever? 

Money or the fame 

Well I had scars, it's who we are 

It's who we are
