Kawann Shockley - Purpose lyrics

Verse 1: I went to Ghana there was a purpose even though was Far from mama was a bit nervous Went to the best schools plus I had a tutor Learned about global politics so while you were Prolly playing hide and seek I was learning Socrates Plus my uncle in my ear with that Bach and he's Watching these, flicks on Mozart and Van Gogh I'm watching his hand go on the piano Thinking to myself what if Beethoven had flow I'ma answer that when I get in the lab yo I met a guy name Eddie Blay, from high school Heard about him before but as a rival We got along the moment of my arrival You ain't know it then, but Blay you was my idol And 'til this day I love you, forever my dude When I blow up, you blow up trust I got you Chorus: Behind every melody there is a purpose Yes it's my purpose The fuel the fire to my dreams Every rhythm every key it is my purpose Yes it's my purpose Pushing me through galaxies Verse 2: Listen I came to this country with a purpose My initial thoughts is it would start with the churches So I formed a group and got busy in the sanctuary, and Quickly found out most saints just ain't too worried 'bout the ghetto and the crime that constantly echoes Too busy meeting up for prayer rebuking the devil I don't knock it, I love church for what it did Taught me the message of Jesus and raised me as kid Thanks to pastor Phil plus Reverend Stamper even writing this my eyes are getting damper Man I remember did this show out in Florida for this Mega church where I spoke of the horror of intercity Youth, who daily visit the coroner Next morning the pastor sure enough brought it up Said I was basically wrong saying that sort of stuff Guess it was time to go though no one thought it was Chorus: Behind every melody there is a purpose Yes it's my purpose The fuel the fire to my dreams Every rhythm every key it is my purpose Yes it's my purpose Pushing me through galaxies Verse 3: Every album I write has a purpose, even when you don't Understand some of my verses, know that every verse is Part of my fiber, I'm much more than the usual Hip-Hop Writer, that's why what I write'll live longer than I Can I'm already haunted by some of my jams People asking 'bout 7 year old music I wanna say I just dropped some new soul stupid They don't hear I'm more confident when I'm producing? A better engineer now that I studied acoustics? You think I spent that time with James Foreman, just so I could go back to the same format Getting arrested by the sampling police 'cause now I ain't sampling my beats... sheesh I used to get mad with people lovin' reruns but if you understood a genius then you would be one (*Solo*) Chorus: Behind every melody there is a purpose Yes it's my purpose The fuel the fire to my dreams Every rhythm every key it is my purpose Yes it's my purpose Pushing me through galaxies Behind every melody there is a purpose Yes it's my purpose The fuel the fire to my dreams Every rhythm every key it is my purpose Yes it's my purpose Pushing me through galaxies Behind every melody there is a purpose Yes it's my purpose The fuel the fire to my dreams Every rhythm every key it is my purpose Yes it's my purpose Pushing me through galaxies
