Purpose Lyrics
Bakes | from Hologram (2020)
Written by Bakes · Produced by Ramin Beatz
I know I'm here for a purpose
I finally found a way to word this
Be the ringleader 'cause this life is a circus
Feelings will flourish, intentions will surface
Thinkin' 'bout the legacy I wanna leave
Who I wanna be, all that I want to achieve
Celebratin' wins, but losin' people we grieve
So while I'm still here, I'ma do what I believe
It's my time, I know it's been comin'
All the moments buildin' up, now I'm off and runnin'
To the races
But the only one I really race is
With the person in the mirror I'm facin'
Don't hide behind different faces
Findin' where my place is
Know I'll surely grow, tappin' into different spaces
Hittin' different points, resonate with different ages
Writin' my own book, I'm flippin' the different pages
I remember when my dream was just imagination
Passion I pursued, I followed my fascination
Fast forward, now I'm known by the masses 'cross the nation
Didn't happen sittin' in classes for occupation
Was a student, but I knew that I was meant for more
Had to spread my wings, first I had to learn to soar
So I began my journey, not knowin' what was in store
But that belief within myself, I felt that it in my core
I know I'm here for a purpose
I finally found a way to word this
Be the ringleader 'cause this life is a circus
Feelings will flourish, intentions will surface
Thinkin' 'bout the legacy I wanna leave
Who I wanna be, all that I want to achieve
Celebratin' wins, but losin' people we grieve
So while I'm still here, I'ma do what I believe
And I'm back, like I never left
Higher than Mount Everest
Climbin' to the top, I don't take a break, I never rest
Always comin' with some new shit that you can never guess
And I don't settle for less
Passion incredible, yes
Thinkin' how I'm here now, 'bout to kill the game
Lot of things changed for me, homie, but I'm still the same
Kept my head straight, no I didn't reveal the pain
Did it 'cause I had a message, not just the appeal of fame
From the underdog
Now it is no wonder, dog
I feel on top of the world, and only under God
People tryna stop my shine, yeah it's somethin' odd
At least I see it comin' now, like "here come the fog"
That voice in my head would always tell me I was dope
And when I needed to get up, God would throw me a rope
Got through many situations with only my hope
This is bigger than myself, that's my whole approach
I know I'm here for a purpose
I finally found a way to word this
Be the ringleader 'cause this life is a circus
Feelings will flourish, intentions will surface
Thinkin' 'bout the legacy I wanna leave
Who I wanna be, all that I want to achieve
Celebratin' wins, but losin' people we grieve
So while I'm still here, I'ma do what I believe
