Ghostface Killah - Purified Thoughts Lyrics
"Am I a good man? ..."
[Ghostface Killah]
Take my hands out my pockets you can see my thumbs
Both of them turned green, from countin the ones
Cut off niggaz who killed Bill but couldn't do nuttin for me
Shout 'em out every once in the blue and kid too
I never rocked with, laws they keep away we cool
I devised my own stimulus, plan I'm niggarish
I'm tired of eatin those crumbs and black licorice
The frame of mind so {?} like cleansin the mic
Let the imam pray over my head and wash
Thoughts, sterilized, purified, Godly
Watch us gift men and fetch the green like barley
If that shit happen I'll feed his whole army
Try to stay humble, and swallow my pride
In God I trust, now talk about the ones on your five
Crisp dollar billin, catch me in a little hut in Beneen
Village style, feedin the children
Big pots of jasmine tea with Mandela
Africans chantin me on like Coachella
Ghostface bom ba ye, kumbiya my Lord
My death day, 24 karat tomb I lay
Wishin they could bury me, next to the prophets
Nabi, Lut, Is'haq, Musa, Harun, Muhammad
Ibrahim
"Am I a good man?" (I don't know)
"Am I a fool?" (We'll see)
[Killah Priest]
The Lord takes me, gathering speeds before winds
High currents, {?} places we formin wings
Kings offering, thrones was there
Man with the 7 crowns on his dome was near
Feet walked over rose petals, song from the ghetto
Face froze in gold like the pharaoh
A dawn in glory, robe of light, a powerful cherub
As he passed the path, white doves cost the eyes of thugs
Eternal heartbeat, in the dark fire in his blood
700 books were opened
It breaks to right, they threw the crooks in the ocean
Scared, brass hair like it grew from goatskin
The chosen has spoken, tablets were broken
The smoke hand grabs an omen
Gravity grabbin me gradually draggin me through hell's cavity
This is blasphemy, I fell where the jackals be
God felt bad for me but cast me into Caspain Sea
Satan draggin his key, Wu-Family's the faculty
K.P., K.P.
"Am I a good man? Am I a fool?
"Am I?"
[GZA]
He used to sling in the stairwell
Fast to put the rap on thinking cap, ignite your hair gel
No such thing as a fair sale
He'll put the bullet out same day, delivery airmail
And on this level a thug'll sell you garbage
No refund, the only exchange from the cartridge
Where the youths is kept comin back with they life earnings
Ready to make a deal, soul and pipe burning
The outcome tragic, household dramatic
Living rooms to {?}, basements to attics
Support from the B, hit the courts from a fiend
who betrayed one, who had lit the torch for his team
So they sent him gifts, body parts per diem
in a box that held prints but too dark to see 'em

Ghostface Killah Purified Thoughts Comments
Classic! But lost in a sea of bullshit!!
Am I A Good Man - Them Two
This song held me down while locked up
💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾
Killah Priest's verse sounded like a lost book of the Bible
Its a crime that Killah Priest was never made a member of The Wu. Just listen to this dude!
He shouldn't have fallen asleep or he could have been on the first Wu album.
Wuuuu the best ever in hip hop a group of the dopest mcs in the universe yes
Facts🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
“Big pots of Jasmine tea with Mandela Africans chanting me on like Coachella”
Bars!🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Ghost purification to the soul controller
Ohhmmannnn.. The REAL!!!
For all the gods that took good care of me when did have a mind
Where is this instrumental
The true meaning of raw GHOSTFACE KILLER 🗽
Does anyone know Apollo Kids means
He used to sling in the stairwell
Fast to put the rap on a thinking cap, ignite your hair gel
No such thing as the fair sale
He'll put the bullet out same day, delivery airmail
And on this level a thug will sell your garbage
No refund, the only exchange from the cartridge
But the users just kept coming back with their life earnings
Ready to make a deal, soul and pipe burning
The outcome tragic, the household dramatic
Living rooms for heating spoons, basements for addicts
Support from a bean, hit the courts from a fiend
Who betrayed one, who had lit the torch for his team
So he sent them gifts, body parts per diem
In a box that held prints but too dark to see 'em
Catch me in a little hut in Benin
I got a trap version of this sample Listen to GOODMAN(DRAFT) by Oscar Lester #np on #SoundCloud
https://soundcloud.com/oscar-lester-746297671/goodman-draft
Frank's dukes !!!!
Music for the soul
Good Man - DJ Khaled smh
This is why I refuse to give these young cats a try lol I mean just listen to this!
Young cats is killing it too just don't listen to mumble rap
True bro 💯
No instrumental?
GHOSTFACE BOOMAYEY
Its beautiful
Ghost verse is a majestically melodic flow! Ibrahim !!!!!
Real Hip-hop never fade!
PURIFIED IS YET ANOTHER WU CLASSIC.. WU WILL NEVER DIE 4EVER BE BUMPED IN MY EARS.. 215 ILLADELPH
fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 FIRE fire
Lyrical shadow boxing. .
dope beat !!!
When GZA came on the whole crowd cleared out
U mean that in a good way right?
No cash value vol. 5?
Windsor killed it
The great Don Ghostdini
killa p destroyed it:))
Wu muthafuckas!
This is great production. Welding two different time signatures together like that? You get a fantastic bassline. Almost J Dilla esque.
Frank dukes beat

gza is a beast
+Adam Maskell
> God
come on, man, that's like the basics :)
He used to sling in the stair well
Word the dopest in from wu just ask wu
As soon as KP started rapping i was like holy shit what is jay Elechannukah doing on here
+Broom
Word!! Have listened to this since it came out and it is the best song on this album without a doubt. That was before I got heavy into Electronica. You are spot on with the similarity in voice and flow somewhat.
nothing on Jay, but KP got it all over him.
Nice touch with Killah Priest
The first verse of this album alone was worth the $13.99 I spent on it.
I never really remember listening to the entire album because this track was on repeat for like a year straight. That's why Starks is top 3 easily in my mind, his shit is just so vivid.
Instantly gave me chills.
True God
Great investment
gatakiaaa ;)
4 PEOPLE DONT HAVE PURIFIED THOUGHTS
Now it's 22 people. They're gay.😂
I'm one of those kids where other people ask me of what type of music I listen to and they look at me twice, Like "Woh" #HipHop
Prod - Frank Dukes
I was tired like fck at a frac site. This came on, rejuvenated, ignited, scorched the earth for another 20 hours. 37 plus that shift, thanks Ghost, helped me through my day, night.
hip hop today sucks, love wu
suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
REKS on "This or That", sped up (Statik Selektah prod)
Kriss Kross don't have nuthin on these guys
I think Reks
Killah Priest destroyed his verse man, love this song.
who else used this sample? in hip hop
Microphonechecka2 Dj Khalid just recently used on the joint with Kiss and Pusha T called Good man. It's dope, but not close to this
Solid track from Ghost! My fav from the album.
all of them are more than 40 years old in this shit, greatness!!
💪🏾💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Age shouldn't matter if you put that work in,,,its timeless
THEM TWO!!
Does anyone know where I can get the instrumental for this from?
"Gravity grabbing me gradually, dragging me through hell's cavity! This is blasphemy!" Killah Priest
matubaM Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
He just described being drawn into a black hole as hell. Fucking Genius.
matubaM ridiculous
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
haha not much of a rarity, but still raw
Dennis Coles For President!!! Dont get it? Smack yourself. Wu-tang still for the babies!!
WORD.......
There's a Ghost/Doom album coming? O_O
THEM TWO - Am I A Good Man - 1971
I knew I'd heard this sample before... I didn't reealize that it was on an ILL as track with ghostface, priest AND Gza... damn i was really lookin to flippin this sample but there's just no way im gunna top this track hahah shiiit
Whenever im mad or upset, i come to this song for some reason. It just makes me assess wether or not im a good person. It takes something to create a dope track but in my opinion it takes so much more to create a joint that speaks to the listener
Heard to Lost ones and Dead President... couldnt stand more. The guy is just too generic. His lyrics are not that great, and his voice is annoying.
Listen to "Lost Ones" "Dead Presidents 2" "Light's Please" or "I Get Up" Cole speaks about deep lyrical shit.
The first time I heard Cole, he was rhymin with Mos def, Talib and Jay Electronica, guess who was the weakest link? All these lyricist doing complex metaphors and there goes cole talkin about money and bitches.... is like, is that the best u can do?
He has weak voice, his lyrics most times dont even rhyme right. I just heard his album based on a pretty well rounded review. He is very inconsistent. He is good sometimes, but then he got this party joins is a total fuck up. I heard couple of his old joins, still sound weak. KP, GZA, GF have a voice, character and style, I think Cole lacks all that shit. Like ppl say, you only as good as your lastest shit. Thats why Apollo Kids makes Ghost so great. Shit hasnt been as hot since SC.
What did you here? Listen to his mixtapes that's the good shit, he signed to Roc and fell off.
Cole is weak... dude is soft like panty hoes. Is all hot air, actually listen to his shit. too generic. KP drop real jewelz, complex metaphors and graphic imaginery, real mathematics.
JZA J.Cole is a smart young brother thats positive and drops some knowledge. Shit on them "lil' whateva" rappers.
..... J.Cole is good, wtf.
this song makes me want to purify every evil/dirty thought in my mind!
I'll bet you couldn't have wiped the smile off of Frank Dukes face with a wire brush after they finished this track. Ghost, KP, and The Genius kill shit as always!!!!
classic wu when the revolution comes every member needs to lead an army
@theDolphino1123 word thats were my whole family from
this joint was mad crazy!! can't wait for supreme clientele II
I been on Ghostface since 36 chambers to Apollo Kids and bought every album, sometimes more than once
wu wu wu.
hardly deep!!! put ya hands up
@maxopolo ILL GET YOU THERE SINGLE HANDED. GHOST IS ELECTRIC, CRYSTALISING NEW YORK CITY'S VISUALS INTO RAW MUSIC
beat crazy
this beat is crazy ghost set you up for the kill kp killed u wit his bars and gza gza OHHH gza raised u from da dead wu tang eternal
@machineguncity I wish. But sadly, a majority of people, especially today's youth, are dumb and shallow as can be. So this majority will keep supporting the shallow, no-talent-having artists, and their dumb music.
@1godapex I know cuz I been waitin to hear it
2 people need their thoughts purified
@JKkillinya86
Straight up, every release Ghost puts out is exceptional, just look at the reviews for his work. Never live down the opporotunity to support real hip hop artist like him. Thats why as his fans, alltogether need to actually buy his shit, remember The Big Doe Rehab?
@JKkillinya86
Straight up, every release Ghost got is exceptional. Just check out the reviews on his work. Thats why as his fans, alltogether gotta actually buy his shit and never live the chance to support him down, remember Doe Boy Rehab?
