[Intro]

The purple heart

It is one of the most recognised and respected medals

Awarded to members of the armed forces

Not only battles won deserve a medal

As with the purple heart

Which is also presented to service members

Who have been wounded or killed as a result of enemy action

Can the same flower that blossoms in the midst of darknеss and smoke

On the battlefiеld flourish in the concrete jungle?

When a service member sacrifices themselves

Or pays the ultimate price

The solemn distinction awarded is the purple heart

[Verse 1: Tiny Boost]

My heart's purple and my eyes got dark circles

Marching in the dirt, niggas tryna earth you

Hammer run, jakes tryna search you

Reaper outside, I'm tryna make it home for curfew

'Cause mum loves me, she's gotta be proud

Jail niggas banging doors 'cause I'm holding 'em down

For all my soldiers dem sleeping in a hole in the ground

I'm turning tragedies to triumph and I'm focusing now

He got time, they opened case cah he opened his mouth

Shooter came through waving it and opened the crowd

Had the ends, same reign, streets showed me a crown

Bros pop kicked him out, he found a pole in the house

True, true stories, this is real talk

This ain't imaginary pain, this my real thoughts

They think I spilled my heart out, I'm gon' spill more

And anything I stand on, I swear to God, I'm down to die and kill for

Getting to the bag, fuck I gotta rob and steal for?

Hustling them bricks your whole life and you still poor

But if you want it, I can get it and it's still raw

I swear I'll ride until every last wheel fall

Trying till we burn out the clutch and the gearbox

A lot of blood and sweat mixed in my teardrops

Went cold time ago, don't remember what the year was

So there ain't much that I'm scared of, I wanna know

[Verse 2: Youngs Teflon]

I live my life jaded

I ain't got a trim, I'm still faded

Had my money dirty, now it's baded

I don't watch Dave but I got a song with David

This ain't the Metaverse, this the Matrix

Scars on my skin left my heart purple

Done it for the friends in my circle

Riding in this Merc, smoking Merkel

Catch you in your hoodie, we gon' shirt you

Shells in your back, now you turtle

All rats gotta die, Master Splinter's in a spliff

I've been the boy king, I'm like Simba on the cliff

Uncle Scar, Uncle Ice tryna get me for my quids

It's a myth, I'm still having breakfast at Tiff's

Used to sip the purple rain for the pain

Boot out on the mains, you ever let it blow without a strain?

Ain't in my blood, it's in my veins

Ain't a sugar grain without the cane, that's for real though

Used to be a used-to, I was living like a loser

Hanging with the crooks and the users

Going halves on a draw, let me twos ya

But I ain't going back to my abuser

All these stripes on my shoulders but I never won a trophy

I done this shit for Nathan and Kofi

I miss my niggas, sometimes I think about 'em 'fore I go sleep

There ain't no wins on these cold streets
