lyrics

I got some purple in my cup
A blunt fired up
I ain't tryna make it home ‘til the sun come up
I'm cruisin thru the city
I'm just cruisin thru my city, yeah 
And I'm so high – just might see that bitch tonight
Got a lot up on my mind
So I decide to take a drive
I'm cruisin thru the city
I'm just cruisin thru my city, yeah

I can’t describe how it felt to lay my granny down to rest
All this stress on my chest to see my family turn to mess
I ain’t got the words to say to brighten up nobody’s day
Tears rolling down my face – I just wanna get away
Fuck it – hit the interstate
Closest friend turned snake
Thinkin bout my homie locked down
His potna turned state
Told my nigga I’ll hold em down
While I keep riding around
Granny prayers worked for me – who gon’ pray for me now?
Kush keep blowing while that purp still pourin
Got no idea where I’m headed
Hit the gas and keep it going
Got a phone call – my homie died in the ICU
I’m the closest to his momma so I gotta break the news
I’ma tell her on the phone that her only son gone

Died in the dice game – my city is a warzone
I know my granny looking down from the Heavens up above
Still hurt – that’s why I’m tryna hide this pain with these drugs

I got some purple in my cup
A blunt fired up
I ain't tryna make it home ‘til the sun come up
I'm cruisin thru the city
I'm just cruisin thru my city, yeah 
And I'm so high – just might see that bitch tonight
Got a lot up on my mind
So I decide to take a drive
I'm cruisin thru the city
I'm just cruisin thru my city, yeah

Got a bad one in the passenger
She lookin spectacular 
I ain't worried ‘bout her though
I know what's attractin her
Steeze, fame, trees
These blunts stay in rotation
Baby girl get off your knees
My heart ain't in the equation
It's all a part of the hustle
Endure strife amidst the struggle
I work it out – I'm growing muscle
I know this pain is not for nothin
But where are my people?
The ones that started with me
Cruisin thru my city wondering who really wit me
My momma ain't hearin it
My daddy still holdin out
My friends ain't my friends
Another face in the crowd
I'm doubted by plenty – some “fam” ain't really down 
I'm just cruisin thru my city, mane, floatin on a cloud
So much love in me
That's why it stay on my mind
Got some drugs in me
To help the pain subside
Can't be any more direct
My heart in my fuckin throat
Just one of those nights to meet the homie, fire it up, cruise and toke!

I got some purple in my cup

A blunt fired up
I ain't tryna make it home ‘til the sun come up
I'm cruisin thru the city
I'm just cruisin thru my city, yeah 
And I'm so high – just might see that bitch tonight
Got a lot up on my mind
So I decide to take a drive
I'm cruisin thru the city
I'm just cruisin thru my city, yeah
