Purple CIty

Lyrics

Purple City, pour it upEyes all shifty, throw it downNow you in Lavender Town
Stay a down ass foo Y’all lucky I’m cool, didn’t take shit from my hoodDo you hate to stay in your lane? You riding too slow, popped a pillShit now you acting high hoe?
(He doesn’t even go here)
Purple city, pour it upEyes all shifty, throw it downNow you in Lavender TownChill ass dude As long as you get out my way
Always someone who swears I’m rude Ask bumfuck billy or the edgar cuh foo,
Stay a Pretty ass dude With fight stories too.
Guess I know why I like the green and keep a gun pointed too.
Purple city, pour it up Eyes all shifty, throw it down Now you in Lavender Town.
RIP Beat King left our Houston Hoes. Yet a Haunter keeps making them twerk twerk twerk. Forever a G til the End, pass the gar. (Cucumbah watah)
Purple city, pour it upEyes all shifty, throw it downNow you in Lavender Town. I’m mew and omastar, An ancient lamb sent to chop,Screw your shit. You stay parched I see, Now watch me part the sea.
Sacrilegious they say, but only get on they knees for a gay dude named trade.
Purple city, pour it upEyes all shifty. Throw it down, Now you in Lavender Town
Bet y'all ain't know every Houstonian got a bar or two.If you live here slow yall’s rollFor some cuh off the blowShoots you cause he’s driving too slow (True Story bro) And we have to hear more at four.
(Goodluck Everybody Else)

Paths cross

The last time I renewed my license I saw Beat King at the Louetta DPS office. We sat across from each other silently, both of us staring at our phones. I believe it was only a few weeks before Then Leave blew up. I had heard his music through my friend Jas and seen clips of him performing; but I didn’t recognize his face. We made awkward I contact way too many times. I kept staring at his green hair, and trying to figure out where I recognized him from.

After I left my friend showed me his SnapChat story. I got upset that I failed to recognize him but also relieved. Even if I did know him off the bat, I don’t think my anxiety would have let me.

I remember bragging to all my friends about it, while the whole country danced to his music. Another Houston legend was born and inaugurated into one of the many voices that embody the sounds of this city.

The day he passed we smoked a blunt and listened to music. We mourned Houston’s embodiment of Dionysus, a father, and a man that was able to leave a legacy not only in this city but throughout the whole country. Thank you for bringing Houston’s club scene to the world, even during a lockdown and a pandemic.

Back 2 back story: REferences

So many things and songs on my mind, y'all know me! 😪

I received a divine message to study Russian composers, and I particularly enjoyed the raw chaos of Stravinsky, Turns out Masuda was also inspired by him while creating the Lavender Town Theme. Through a series of revelations I also have come to realize why I have been autistically obsessed with Pokemon for my whole life. Long story short, but my cousin Michael gave me a bunch of TCG cards before he was murdered. I barely had anything before I got kicked out of my last place I bought two lil cheap figures. I left a Jigglypuff holding a mic, at the altar I made for the man that saved me from my family, Luis Miranda. I got back to my parents and cried when I saw the other figure, a Pikachu holding a flower, next to a portrait of my sisters. Life is too short to make money or time an excuse. You never know, a small action can change both a young boy and a grown man forever. God willing I'll have something out by mid May.

So Hold on Til May!
