Soul Lyrics by Corey J.

Soul Searchin’

2018

[Spoken Word]

Half of y'all don’t understand the shit that I'm on
Like, having to get it right cuz you sick of gettin it wrong
And I long, for just a shimmer of hope
Or maybe even a piece of the gold
And so I write songs for those who don't believe what they told
But ohhhh oh
It’s gettin scary holdin on for a week
When people talk with they tongues, but you hear they soul when they speak
So you tryin to drown em out you findin more than you seeked
You was only testin the waters until you saw it was deep
Allusion to life, it's like the more that you try to stay afloat, the more that you sink
But think
How the fuck you gone give up now?
You got somethin to prove, you trynna raise a kid up now
Like, fuck you gone do?
Tell em when life gets hard, call it quits and throw in the towel?
Or push harder against the forces that's been holdin you down
But see...see
You don't wanna lie to the kid
It's easy to teach someone how to survive the life that they live
It ain't easy to set examples when you dying and shit, like
How the fuck I'm gone eat if this rent ain't paid off?
Where the fuck I’m gone live if I fuck around and get laid off?
People around you say they got you if you need it just stay calm
But even if you do believe it you keep thinking the same thoughts
’Cause you grown now
Figure you should handle shit on your own now
Probably be better off with more support from your hometown
People you keep around you that you always hold down
They don't really fuck with you and they making it known now
Wow
That’s when it finally hit you
People that grew up with you never grew up WITH you
Yall used to kick it
Live life, bury shit in the sandbox
Who would've thought yall lives got buried right there in that damn box?
That's why every day I think of words from my damn pops like
Don't trust people just ’cause you know em
Those same people come around with they hand out trying to act like that you owe em
And when you don't give it up, they say you actin like you don't know em
So if they say I look like I'm moving funny, I say fuck it and show em like
Nah, you can't see this dough
You ain't entitled to shit just because you call me bro
You ain't fam because you yell out "cuz" and pop up at the cookouts
Support is free, it cost nothing to look out
Like, fuck these niggas
We may talk, but I don't ever trust these niggas
My only goal in life is to one-up these niggas
I just gave yall my whole soul
How could you not love me, nigga?
