S.O.A.W Lyrics by Egbezi

Afrocentric: The Adaptation Album

2020

[Chorus]
U've got the soul of a winner
These times could be hard but nothing last forever (ay, ay)
If U hold on my n***a
U gon' make it pass through the mutha*****ng drama (ay)
So hold on

[Hook]
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey young blood u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter

[Verse 1]
Nineteen eighty eight a new ghetto king was born
No throne, no crown nor a silver spoon
No gold nor bronze in the treasure room
Famine in the Kingdom, it was filled with gloom
Men it was horrible growing as a ghetto child with hate leading the way, love is blind watch me go wild
Like a sheep in the jungle tryna stay alive
No time to adapt all U gotta do is survive
I had to put up with a whole lotta crap
Me myself and I plus God was all I had
No moses to divide the sea so I swam with the sharks
With the hope that somehow I'll get to the promise land (Hey)

[Hook]
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey young blood u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter

[Chorus]
U've got the soul of a winner
These times could be hard but nothing last forever (ay, ay)
If U hold on my n***a
U gon' make it pass through the mutha*****ng drama (ay)
So hold on

[Verse 2]
I wasn't getting v***** but that didn't even matter
Cos I had to stay focused being the first born of my mother I had to make a difference for my lil' bros and sister
Couldn't rob or do ritual so I was ridiculed by niggas
I ain't gon' front like I wasn't attracted to the flashy lifestyle
I mean at some point I found myself telling mama lies
Just to get some extra change to purchase some new pairs of nice kicks, designer shirts and gold necklace
I had to look at myself in the mirror to remember where I'm from and what my purpose on earth was
At that point I knew I had to make a choice
It was really complicated but then I heard a voice like

[Hook]
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey young blood u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter

[Chorus]
U've got the soul of a winner
These times could be hard but nothing last forever (ay, ay)
If U hold on my n***a
U gon' make it pass through the mutha*****ng drama (ay)
So hold on

[Hook]
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter
Hey pretty girl u got the soul of a winner
Hey lil' man u got the soul of a winner
Hey young blood u got the soul of a winner
Soul of a winner, not of a quitter

[Outro]
Yeah, I've got the soul of a winner
I got the soul of a winner
I'm not a quitter...
Like, e go just dey fade dey go..
