[Intro: Suffa, Purpose]
Ay, this is Suffa from the almighty Hilltop Hoods
You’re listening to If The City Had A Voice Part Two
Purpose and Hacksaw, what’s the deal?
Yeah, uh

[Verse 1: Purpose]
This shit had me thinkin’ school just didn’t grab me
Steppin’ off the plane smilin’, chickies winkin’ at me
Kids in school askin’ ‘bout Cincinnati
Whatever became of the class clown prince like Harry
Trigger happy temper, had ‘em lost for a year or so
But I left that shit behind years ago
Picture to me when inspiration strikes
Got no problem payin’ dues, name the price, I paid it twice
The scene needs someone to believe in
And when I look in the mirror I see him
I’m 5’6”, but I dream big
Don’t mind rules, handle biz how I see fit
My style of samplin’s vinyl tamperin’
Cypher ignite, I walk onto sky, like Anakin
My line of work requires some travellin’
So I’m gone for a minute, then I’m right back at it
‘Cause One Hit Away was an important step, to let ‘em know
That we appreciate all the support we get
All the blood, the tears, and all the sweat
From leadin’ three lives at once, man, I fought for breath
The night before, saw the set torn to shreds
Next day I’m back at work lookin’ like the walkin’ dead
All in a day’s work, I ain’t fallen yet
Over two hours late, still ain’t called in yet
Fuck ‘em, I can’t shake it, my heart races
Addicted, this is bored and call for the last station
For that I partake in whatever’s required
Whatever it takes, as long as we get there it’s fine
So

[Break: Suffa & Pressure, Purpose, LL Cool J]
How long you been here? Oi
"I've been here for years"
How long you been here? Oi
"I've been here for years"
How long you been here? Oi
"I've been here for years"
How long you been here?
"I've been here for years"

[Verse 2: Purpose]
Uh, I’ve got the wind on my back
Every time I nearly stumble or slip up I’m back
Some mirror my antics, I don’t give ‘em no slack
The heads hold me down, ‘cause I’m givin’ it back
It’s a miracle that I’m still here, but that’s
A testament to the pressure that I feel on my back
I remember soon as I could start diggin’ for wax
Right around the time that Hilltops went plat
I thought “Damn, man, imagine if I could do it”
Be lighter fluid on a stage, set fire to it
I was good at writin’ music, and at the time I knew it
But as a result I got caught up tryna prove it
That worked a little too well
Music on the back burner became bitter as hell
Still, you never hear me ever whisper for help
Fuck that, man I find strength in myself
Red October went well, man, they dig how I felt
One Way Ticket proved that I’m on Elypsis as well
Persistence is what allows you to evolve
Now ain’t no tellin’ what the future holds

[Outro: Purpose]
I’m glad I came
