Headcurzz - Purple Feather Lyrics

Sit back listen to this track
Cause it's like a little window
Lookin into my soul
Listen

Grew up in a middle class house
Heard messed up stuff
Coming out my parents mouth
Couldn't believe what they were about
Made me want to stay out
And be someone else
Started to run from what I knew
Did everything to avoid where I grew
Constantly in search of something new
Prince warned me maybe I'm a lot like you
So I started to take a harsh stand
I was young then
I had a black girlfriend
My mom said I disappointed them
Replied I don't give a f*ck
This is who I am
She said it's not the way we raised you
It's not the kind of thing
That you should do
Stay with your race
God expects you to
Stay in his grace
Cause the blessed are truly few

That logic didn't make no goddamned sense
My reality kept me angry and perpetually tense
Family tried to pull me on their side of the fence
But I hopped that shit and I learned my dance
A weird kid wearing cross-color clothes
Part of a pack I was one of the bros
Mom hated my friends
Told me they were my foes
Felt confused as f*ck
Didn't know which way to go
Behavior was bad it only got worse
Smoking and drinking yeah fulfilling a curse
Running the streets yo my boys came first
Til we robbed that store
And my world did burst
See we had a plan it wasn't that stealth
Cops busted in and took our wealth
Mom was raged-you must be from somebody else
I have to admit I was a little bit ashamed of myself

You ever have
One of those redefining moments in life
Yo something happens
And you know
Life is never ever gonna be the same
From that point onward

Cause lookin back now
I could of been dead
Still remember what it felt like
Wit a gun to my head
Cops didn't give a f*ck
No matter what us kids said
Hollerin don't make a move
Unless you want to taste lead
We were cuffed, roughed
And transported quick
In the backseat cage
Of a pig's Crown Vic
Oinked enough is enough
It didn't stick
My one boy's dad was in local government
So we split up went down different paths
Did a 180, started wearing a different mask
New friends took me in
We had some great laughs
There were plenty of tears
Cause drugs kicked my ass
And I have to admit
I miss my original clique
We'd reunite later on a different tip
My number one ace started selling me shit
That laid the base for me to be a drug addict

There's enough there for a whole other tale
For years and years I'd continue to fail
Chasing my demons while chasin my tail
And always wondering
If my main dog was in jail
But life is funny that way
When you start to look back
The way memories are made
The way feelings get stacked
And sometimes your train flies off the track
When you a black sheep pick it up to get back
Word to mom love ya but don't support racism
Word to dad rest in peace love your son
Glad I'm someone that can appreciate everyone
Looked at my role models chose who not to become
And to my past friends in any crew
I wish you the best I surely do
We really are blessed and
I know that's true
Cause I got the chance to say much love to you
