Purest Love Lyrics


One precious love so good to me
One precious love the purest thing
One precious love so good to me
One precious love the purest thingWas born in a small town [Incomprehensible] California
Where them gangstas bang ghetto life thuggin' on the corner
Youngest child of six when I came pops split with momma
Used to visit on the weekends, till he moved to the north side of Cali14 he died, 15 my mom's died
Alcoholic diabetic forces were my life too
Moved with my older brother taught me discipline
But I wasn't ready though still shocked and holding pain inSo I skipped school got F's got the posters on my wall
Takin' down no TV times I felt like y'all ain't want me around
Set up in my room developing the mind of a loner
Writin' rhymes rappin' out my days instead of homeworkThrough it all my three sisters placed the place like one time
As I was like this rap thing is gonna pay I know that I was triflin'
But still set in my ways livin' for better days
Until I die I'm startin' if I'm broke or with that cheddar checkOne precious love so good to me
One precious love the purest thing
One precious love so good to me

One precious love the purest thingPurest purest
Purest purest
Purest purest
Purest purestThe two realest cats I know?
My two older brothers
The most beautiful woman in the galaxy?
My motherThe strongest black women raising kids alone?
My sisters
The best part of my future
Is my present love interestThe most important time
Right now and ever after
The greatest expression
Is love, happiness and laughter
See life is a book and this song is just another chapter
I'll stay down to earth and real if you speak I'll speak backI'm not a preacher or a scholar I'm merely just a rapper
I probably don't fit in to the current state of
What you consider that to be, so you ask how can I rap
If I ain't thugged out, pimpin', flossin' my ice, packin' a gatMan if this is what I got, I want dough I can't lie
But never sell my soul 'n front inside mainstream's eyes
The purest love is how I'm driven, sent and reach for my goals
If nothing else I'll leave the world some songs that speak from the soulOne precious love so good to me
One precious love the purest thing
One precious love so good to me
One precious love the purest thingOne precious love so good to me
One precious love the purest thing
One precious love so good to me
One precious love the purest thing

Gift Of Gab (Tim Parker) and Chief Xcel (Xavier Mosley) met at John F. Kennedy High School in 1987 in Sacramento, California and formed the group in the early 1990s. They released their first recording, "Swan Lake", on solesides records. The Solesides Crew consisted of the duo, as well as other friends of theirs they had met at University of California - Davis, including DJ Shadow, Lyrics Born and Lateef The Truth Speaker. The single was an underground hit, but label trouble prevented the duo from immediately capitalizing on their fame.

In late 1997, Solesides became quannum projects and in 1999 Blackalicious released the A2G EP, which served as a precursor to their debut full length album, Nia, which was released the following year. This was followed by a major label contract with MCA Records and the release of the critically acclaimed album Blazing Arrow in 2002.

In May 2004 Gift of Gab released his first solo album, 4th Dimensional Rocketships Going Up, but he assured fans that Blackalicious was alive and well.

A third full length, entitled The Craft, was released on Epitaph Records imprint ANTI- on September 27, 2005.
