My Purpose - Rick Ross, Stalley

My purpose?

Um, you know I’m not sure if I hundred percent know yet

I think that I’m findin' my purpose

I think that everyday, as a man I grow

Um, I know I’m definitely a family man

I’m definitely, you know, a spiritual man

Um, and maybe that is what it is, is to

To share that light into hip hop

Because we don’t get down to a lot of hip hop, you know

We don’t get a lot of people expressing their love and their beliefs

And their passions for the simple things in life, you know

Like family and being a good dude or doing the right thing

So, you know I think it’s coming back but

I think that we’ve drifted away from, um

I guess the true elements or meanings of hip hop

You know what I mean?

I think that’s what’s really carried us away from that a little bit

But I think it’s coming… We have a lot of artists who still do

I don’t want to say that all hip hop is bad or doesn’t have a message

'Cause I think there’s a lot who do

But I, um, I don’t know where we really lost it

But you know, people seem to only want to have fun and turn up

There’s very few thinkers in the world, now

You know everybody wants it spoon-fed

Nobody wants to… if it isn’t, you know, directly in their face

They kinda don’t want to search for it

Or to really find the understanding of something

And that’s what I’m tryin' to bring back into the music
