Back in 93
A little boy he said to me
“Red, blue, black, or green now
What’s your favorite color?”
I said purple
Best tone in the world
Don’t say it’s for girls
Cool, warm or in between
A color that I love so deep
Amethyst amateurs never think that it’s worth
All the work that it takes
Digging it from the Earth
Glamorous
Stone of Aquarius
When they don’t bring it to me, I’m furious
Sitting on my throne favorite stone wrapped around my throat
How could I be cruel when I rule with a pretty tone?
P-U-R-P-L-E
No doubt a color for a king
Go out and get those rocks for me
And craft that color carefully
A luxury for royalty
Doesn’t come cheap
Servants struggle to bring it to me
Give me that
P-U-R-P-L-E
Easily defeats that blue and green
Compliments skin tones on you and me
It wins over colors like red and pink, so
Dress me up in that purple
Mess me up in that purple
Wreck me up in that purple
I don’t care just give me that color
My job’s getting hectic
Trying to pile up vials of synthetic
Trying to craft that color aesthetic
All these blues and pinks — pathetic
1856
Stirring up the pot
Tryin’ to find the trick
For mixing up the mauve
We’ll make it artificial
Take it from the royalty
Whip it up super cheap
The king of kings
I’d never hurt him
I don’t deserve him
40 days he was praying in the desert
Tempted by the devil
But he wouldn’t play or revel
Dirty devil take the dessert out the freezer
I won’t eat it that is treason
Because my name is Jesus
One day they’ll commemorate my hunger
With the color purple cause I wouldn’t take a slurp, no
Those clothes, they dye ‘em for my diet
Wasn’t dying I was thriving off defiance and
Allegiance to the higher
Take a look at my skinny waist
Cause I never took a tiny taste
Up in heaven
It is purple that I’m dressed in
You can test, neglect, object to my legacy
None of that will hurt or subvert the strength of me
Let’s get back to the present
So purple’s for girls?
It’s also for you
Best tone in the world
You’d be looking real cute
P-U-R-P-L-E
Easily defeats that blue and green
Compliments skin tones on you and me
It wins over colors like red and pink, so
When I dress in that purple
Boys bugging out like a wurmple
I’m looking lean like I was stretched out
Belched out
By a wormhole
It defeats that blue and green
Lookin good on you and me
(You know) it beats that red and pink, so
Dress me up in that purple
Mess me up in that purple
Wreck me up in that —
That P-U-R-P-L-E
Let’s go
