Verse 1
I went to Ghana there was a purpose even though was
far and mama was a bit nervous
Went to the best schools plus I had a tutor
I learned about global politics so while you were,
prolly playing hide and seek I was learning Socrates
Plus my uncle in my ear with that Bach and he's
watching these, flix on Mozart and Vangoh
I'm watching his hand go on the piano
thinking to myself what if Beethoven had flow
I'm answer that when I get in the lab yo
I met a guy name Eddie Blay, from high school
heard about him before but as a rival
we got along the moment of my arrival
You ain't know it then, but Blay you was my idol//
and till this day I love you, forever my dude,
When I blow up, you blow up trust I got you.

Chorus:
Behind every melody there is a purpose
Yes it's my purpose
the fuel the fire to my dreams
Every rhythm ever key it is my purpose
Yes it's my purpose
Pushing me through galaxies


Verse 2
Listen
I came to this country with a purpose
My initial thoughts is it would start with the churches
So I formed a group and got busy in the sanctuary, and
quickly found out most saints just ain't too worried
bout the ghetto and the crime that constantly echos
to busy meeting up for prayer rebuking the devil
I don't knock it, I love church for what it did,
taught me the message of Jesus and raised me as kid
Thanks to pastor Phil plus Rev. Stamper even writing this my eyes is getting damper
Man I remember did this show out in Florida for this
mega church where I spoke on the horror of intercity
youth, who daily visit the coroner//
Next morning the pastor sure enough brought it up//
Said I was basically wrong saying that sort of stuff
Guess it was time to go though no one thought is was


Chorus:
Behind every melody there is a purpose
Yes it's my purpose
the fuel the fire to my dreams
Every rhythm ever key it is my purpose
Yes it's my purpose
Pushing me through galaxies


Verse 3

Ever album I write has a purpose, even when don't
understand some of my verses, know that every verse is
part of my fiber, I'm much more than the usual Hip hop
writer, that's why what I write'll live longer than I
can
I'm already haunted by some of my jams
people asking bout 7 year old music
I wanna say I just dropped some new soul stupid
They don't hear I'm more confident when I'm producing?
A better engineer now that I studied acoustics?
You think I spent that time with James Foreman, just so
I could go back to the same format
Getting arrested by the sampling police
co's now ain't sampling my beats... sheesh
I used to get mad at people lovin reruns but if you understood a genius then you would be one

solo

Chorus:
Behind every melody there is a purpose
Yes it's my purpose
the fuel the fire to my dreams
Every rhythm ever key it is my purpose
Yes it's my purpose
Pushing me through galaxies
