Pure
ContraF.*.C.K Lyrics

Sneakers on my feet
I'm wearing shoes and they're taking me where I need to go.

Taking me where I need to be
My shoes are leading me to my destination.

To the summit
I'm going up high like a mountain climber.

Climbing till I reach the peak
I'm scaling the highest point until I get there.

Violence breeds violence
Violent behavior leads to more violent behavior.

But Malcom said by any means
Malcom X believed in fighting for what you believe in by any means necessary.

Sometimes you gotta move
Sometimes you have to take action.

In ways unapproved by the King
In ways that are not sanctioned by those in power.

When theres no peace
When there is no harmony.

And everyday seems like a war
Every day feels like a battle.

Bowing your head and praying
Putting your head down and talking to God.

the lord got better things in store
God has better plans for you.

Addicted to the material
Obsessed with worldly possessions.

Fiendin like you need it more
Acting like you need it more than anything else in life.

But it's just greed
But it's actually just a desire for more.

And greed will imprison us all
Greed will control and restrict us all.

Pride is just before the fall
Being too proud can lead to your downfall.

So be mindful
Be aware and cautious.

Open your eyes to past mistakes
Take a look at previous errors and learn from them.

And don't repeat the cycle
Avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Already been too many lives lost
Too many people have already died.

Trying to copy false idols
Attempting to imitate people who are not good role models.

Doin it for the Gram
Doing it for attention on social media.

But ain't really living the lifestyle
But not truly experiencing that kind of lifestyle.

Can't afford it
Unable to purchase it.

So you posted on the corner
So you stand on the street corner.

On your grind hustlin'
Working hard to make a living.

For some sneakers and a foreign
For some shoes and a foreign car.

Makin' bad choices
Making decisions that are not beneficial.

You'll do anything for it
You'll go to any lengths to achieve it.

Another zombie in the system
Another person blindly following the norms of society.

The dollar got you poisoned
Money has corrupted you.

Who am I to judge
I am not in a position to criticize others.

I'm a sinner too
I also have flaws.

Chasing a summer dream
Pursuing a dream that may not be realistic.

Trying to escape winter blues
Trying to get away from sadness and depression.

Win or lose all that matters
What truly counts is that I'm making progress.

is I'm making moves
I'm taking action.

Putting an effort in
Making a genuine attempt.

Hoping I can light the fuse
Expecting to start something significant.

So I can walk in different shoes
So I can experience something new.

And live a better life
And have a better quality of life.

Hand in hand with an angel
Accompanied by someone who is good and pure.

Guidance so divine
An instruction that is from God.

Eyes stay wide
Remain alert and aware.

So I'm looking for the signs
I'm searching for indications of something meaningful.

A new paradigm in living
A new method or approach to life.

No talk just pantomime
Communicating without using words.

Cause actions speak
Because actions are more powerful.

Louder then words
More effective than words.

And what you see is
What you observe is what's real.

More then what you heard
More trustworthy than what you've been told.

Since the day of my birth
Ever since I was born.

I've had my hands on the wheel
I've been in charge of my life.

Leaving my tracks in the dirt
Leaving a mark on the world.

Man y'all know the deal
You all understand what I mean.

Carving my name in this earth
Making a lasting impact on this world.

I just want to leave a mark
I just want to make a difference.

Find the light in the dark
Discovering positivity in difficult situations.

Ignite the souls with a spark
Inspiring people with something small.

Give up every piece of my heart
Giving everything I have to offer.

Synchronized to these beats
Aligned with the rhythms of the music.

Truth in the lines
Truthfulness in the lyrics.

In this life things aren't always what they seem
Life can be full of surprises.

Sometimes people talkin but not saying what they mean
People can be deceitful or insincere.

Blood on they hands but they faking like they clean
Trying to conceal wrongdoing or guilt.

So I lay back and keep to myself cause honestly
So I relax and stay quiet because honestly

In this life things aren't always what they seem
Life can be full of surprises.

Sometimes people talkin but not saying what they mean
People can be deceitful or insincere.

Blood on they hands but they faking like they clean
Trying to conceal wrongdoing or guilt.

So I lay back and keep to myself cause honestly
So I relax and stay quiet because honestly
