100 (From the Original Motion Picture “The Color Purple”)

I woke up to the light

I feel like I can touch the sky

This lil' soul of mine

It don't come with a price, oh, not my life

Everything ain't what it seem

I took the wool from over my eyes

I decided that I'd follow my truth, not tell a lie

Even if it's me, myself and I

Fuck learnin' the hard way

Don't bring that fruit to my garden

Even if I want a taste

Some things I love just ain't safe

I've been rockin' and rollin'

I can't slow it down, gotta pick up the pace

Only thing that I pray

Is all of my sins wash away

I've been runnin', runnin'

'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (won't do)

I've been runnin', tryna keep it a hundred

Ninety-nine and a half won't do

I went to church

I got on my knees and prayed

All the devils I done seen

Keep starin' me in my face, all in my face

Sometimes can't help but do bad

When my heart is good

Though I try

Pull this wool off of my eyes

And I decided (yeah)

That I'd follow my truth, not tell a lie

Even if it's me, myself and I

Fuck learnin' the hard way

Don't bring that fruit to my garden

Even if I want a taste

Some things I love just ain't safe

I've been rockin' and rollin'

I can't slow it down, gotta pick up the pace

Only thing that I pray

Is all of my sins wash away

I've been runnin' (yeah), runnin'

'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (said, I've been)

I've been runnin', tryna keep it a hundred

'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (tell you, it just won't do, no, no, no)

I've been runnin', runnin' (I'm tryna keep it together, yeah)

'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do (won't do, do, do, do, do, do)

I've been runnin', tryna keep it a hundred

'Cause ninety-nine and a half won't do
