Quality of Life
[Intro: Purpose]
Uh, yeah
[Verse 1: Purpose]
This is how I dream my later life to look like
My son grinnin’ ear to ear on his pushbike
I tuck my daughter in, and kiss her goodnight
Then retire in peace beside a good and understood wife
And we don’t do a lot except this
But we’re contempt, ‘cause we’re in awe at everythin’ we’ve been blessed with
The thought of bein’ settled used to make me restless
But it’s fine in my dream, ‘cause I worked hard, so now I’m rested
If I die before that day comes, riot for me
Don’t talk of how I felt, retell my survival story
We’ve been quiet enough, let there be no moment of silence for me
Though I know it sound kinda corny, I mean that, I mean that
Let my family and friends have somethin’ private for me
Actually they’d be proud to see my fans, so invite ‘em for me
Play “Everything’s Alright” and smile for me
Tell Mumma I gave ‘em hell just like she taught me
Let my girl feel only the way she did the first time she saw me
Shit, she know I love her, but remind her for me
I know these dudes can’t touch me, but I want you to find one for me
One that makes you smile, shawty
Let my old smokin’ buddies roll up, and hold up their lighters for me
And everyone I party with, pull an all nighter for me
Let my past lovers say they thought I’d still be fly at forty
And the peers in my class speak of good times and glory, surely
That’s just if you decide to call me
Till then I get up and ride
For a quality of life
Yeah
[Chorus: Emily, Purpose, Emily & Purpose]
I just wish that
I could give you the wo-o-orld
I just wish that
I could give you the wo-o-orld
And one day I just might be able to
Able to, I kno-o-ow
My motto is “One world”
Regardless
My motto is “One world”
Regardless
[Verse 2: Purpose]
In my dream there’s fresh coffee in the kitchen brewin’
My son tells me stories and I listen to him
May even offer a few words of wisdom to him
Some [?] to give the kid a [?]
And whatever it is he doin’
The sun shinin’, the dogs barkin’
Love lives here, we never stop laughin’
I don’t get edgy when I see a cop car
And I’m on par with the greats ‘cause the message in my song’s lastin’
They’ll try to make you into someone you’re not
But as long as character’s the one thing ya got, back yourself
Not everyone loves you, so keep your wits about you
Read the signs, this is how you make sense of the shit around you
I’m not trippin’ off the spot in the big, fluffy sky
They’ll be able to learn from me, knowledge like this comes in time
In spite of makin’ the same mistakes six hundred times
I’ll look in the mirror at night and know I did somethin’ right which is provide
A quality of life
And I’ma sleep just fine
Knowin’ I did alright
Aight
[Chorus: Emily, Purpose, Emily & Purpose]
I just wish that
I could give you the wo-o-orld
I just wish that
I could give you the wo-o-orld
And one day I just might be able to
Able to, I kno-o-ow
My motto is “One world”
Regardless
My motto is “One world”
Regardless
[Outro: Trials]
“[?] that’s how we on it
Live at the main event, I better trick ‘em out, we on it”
“[?] that’s how we on it
Live at the main event, I better trick ‘em out, we on it”
Yo, Purps, alright, listen. One more, one last one and then we’re almost done, and then I’ll let you go, I promise. Everybody this is Trials from the fuckin’ Funkoars and I’m makin’ Purpose do this last track, so you can get the most out of it, ‘cause we need it, man, we fuckin’ need it!
