lirik lagu purpose - where i’m comin’ from

[intro: gil scott~heron (sampled) & purpose]
this is a song about change, you see? we say
many things about the changing aspects of our lives
they say that since change is inevitable
we should direct the change rather than
simply continue to go through the change, where i’m comin’ from, where i’m comin’ from (uh)

[verse 1: gil scott~heron (sampled) & purpose]
let a man live or give a man death
and you’ll know how scarce food and a bitten hand gets
that’s why you can’t get through to me, restricted access
not that n0body home, got a different address (comin’ from)
see? a hungry man eats whatever you put in front of him
and a snake’d try to pull thе ground out from under ‘im
pain is pain, it ain’t about becomin’ numb to it
it’s about whethеr or not you succumb to it (where i’m comin’ from) (uh)
so that’s the deal with pride, is it?
if you can’t live without it, you likely to die with it
smug grin, your back got a knife in it
ain’t it funny how your whole world can change in five minutes?
so put your money on the underdog (yeah)
i mean i got a little dirt on me, but i brushed it off
shrugged it off like nothin’ gained, nothin’ lost
took a couple summers off and came back to run hip~hop, that’s where i’m comin’ from

[chorus: gil scott~heron (sampled) & purpose]
feel like~a where i’m comin’ from (yeah)
feel like~a where i’m comin’ from(ay, yeah, ay)
“hip~hop don’t stop” (that’s where i’m comin’ from, yeah)
“like the heat in my veins” (yeah, c’mon, yeah)
“hip~hop don’t stop” (that’s where i’m comin’ from)
“i’m forever representin’~“ “~know exac’ly where i come from” (ay)
[verse 2: purpose]
this drink’s for every cent i made that i never saved (saved)
for the life i lived and the mess i made (made)
to the memories o’ yesterday
i’m tryna buy my way into heaven’s gates, i’ma have h~ll to pay (have h~ll to pay)
‘til then, i’m two~steppin’ on the devil’s grave (grave)
careful, so as not to cross the yellow tape (tape)
lord, forgive me for goin’ against the grain
but after the red october, comes the november rain (rain)
let me live, let me love, let me entertain (uh)
gimme the mic, gimme the crowd, lemme wreck the stage (uh)
let me take your breath away, bipolar
iced over, my city hasn’t slept in days
respect the greats, that’s led the way, bless the game (game)
from the multi platinum albums to the demo tapes (tapes)
i guess i’m wayne, drake, em and ye
‘cause it may not mean nothin’ to y’all, but, “i want you forever, babe” (ay!)

[chorus: gil scott~heron (sampled) & purpose]
oughtta be~a where i’m comin’ from (yeah)
oughtta be~a where i’m comin’ from (yeah)
“know e~know exac’ly where i come from” (yeah)
“know e~know exac’ly where i come from” (yeah)
“know exac~xac~xac’ly~ (yeah)
~wh~where i~wh~wh~where i come from” (uh, c’mon!)
[verse 3: gil scott~heron (sampled) & purpose]
we reap whatever we sow
it’s better the devil you know than the devil you don’t
i needa get exercise like emily rose
but i just let it all go, that’s just where i’m comin’ from
i’m ridin’ ‘round without a worry in the world (world)
wouldn’t trade that feelin’ for all the money in the world (yeah)
but it never stays unless i stay less
so i guess it ain’t sh~t, but i will say this
it’s everything you go through that shapes you and moulds you
when it goes down, don’t expect fate to console you (nah)
you hold your tongue, only say what you’re told you
who gives a f~ck what they say? they don’t know you! (bam!)
who gives a f~ck that they mean by it?
part of knowin’ when to speak up, sometimes it’s knowin’ when to be quiet
history isn’t history, we can rewrite it
the future’s ahead, it just seems like it sneaks by us (woo!)
and the beat goes on ‘til i push eject
and the beat goes on ‘til i push eject
sounds different dependin’ on what you’re pumpin’ on
“i’m forever representin’, yo, where i come from”, yeah

[chorus: gil scott~heron (sampled) & purpose]
feel like~a where i’m comin’ from (yeah)
feel like~a where i’m comin’ from (yeah)
“hip~hop don’t stop” (yeah)
“like the heat in my veins” (yeah)
“hip~hop don’t stop” (yeah)
“i’m forever representin’, yo, where i come from”
[bridge: gil scott~heron & purpose]
thinkin’ and waitin’ and thinkin’ and waitin’
let the sample run, he knew ‘is chance
was bound to come, yeah
ought to be~a where i’m comin’ from, ay
that’s where i’m comin’ from, let it breathe
ought to be~a where i’m comin’ from, ay, yeah
let it breathe
“i’m forever representin’, yo, where i come from”, yeah
“know e~know exac’ly where i come from”
“know e~know exac’ly where i come from”
“know e~know exac’ly where i come from”
“where i~wh~wh~wh~where i come from”
i’m tryna make, c’mon
i’m movin’ from place to place and one more time
town to town bring it back
yes and the
yeah, yuh
tell me
just understand
i’m tryin’ my best to explain, yuh
tell me, do you understand?
livin’ in a world o’ change, yuh
tell me, do you understand?
i’m tryin’ my best to explain
but tell me, do you…
