Purpose and Flow - Rick Ross, Stalley

I would just say

I would want people to care a little bit more about the culture

You know what I mean

I want people to take time and to really um

But thought into the music that they’re making

And um, have a purpose behind it as well

You know I think that uh

I forget

There’s a quote, I don’t even want to misquote it

But it was something about like

All art, it has a purpose

Like its not art if it doesn’t have a purpose

You know what I’m saying

Like we’re not just doing something to not do it like when

Somebody who draws a picture

You want somebody to get some type of feeling or emotion from it

You know, same with music

So, that’s what I really wanted to give back

That would be really the only thing I wanted to change

If it ain’t fully equipped, then I don’t roll in it

If it ain’t high grade then I ain’t rolling it

Get a whip clean and it got hoes in it

But you don’t see 'em 'cause it be so tinted

Hardly breathe in the air, all the smoke in it

Truck beating niggas beats so engulfed in it

Green rugs like a nigga playing golf in it

Yeah, but the nine be the iron, for hatin' niggas eyein'

Too many close friends dying

From then envious watchers

Just a sign of the times

From these prettiest watches

How a grown man sleep is how a grown man watches

Sometimes I just post and let the city just watch us

We used to them shots, we ain’t hearing them choppers

Sirens from coppers overhead

Helicopters, the chase lives on

We trying to make it right, they trying to give us wrong

We trying to tell 'em my life

Its bigger than songs

Its bigger than hats

Its bigger than beards

Its bigger than sneakers

Its bigger than gear

And its bigger than double cups and switching up gears

And I put that on my life they gon' hear me this year
