Soul Of A Man Lyrics by Ian Kelly

Kells is D.E.A.D

2021

[Intro]
So hard, so (Eric)
It's so hard, it's hard
So hard
[Verse]
My alarm clock similar to a gunshot
The party was jumping and then the fun stops
Life after death, so my time spent is a pit stop
I think I make 'em jump when I'm thinking backwards like Kriss Kross
Looking outside and the flowers burn where the garden is
Puff, puff, pass when they take a turn in the flowerbed
These are angels from any angle with no concern
You call 'em demons depending on how you like to earn
Cash rules everything around me, I ain't make the rules
We just use the tools that the government planted, then consumed
Ya heard? These are really more than just words
Serious, I'm 'bout my dough like I'm working for Mr. Burns
Serious, I'm 'bout my art, everyday is a fight
What's a canvas to a mic if I'm Basquiat when I write?
I see one time, 12 pull up, that's five-oh
I see a man in handcuffs screamin', "We gon' be alright"
Fuck, the irony
Sorta like a butterfly getting pimped, spreading wings, and then finding me
The silver lining is always hiding, you gotta find it
I see the block and then peep the climate and steady climb it
A mama lost a baby, you know steady crying
Gentrification take all these buildings and then steady buy 'em
Pushing out my loved ones, to them it's just a daily triumph
I say we buy the hood back and turn it into Zion
If I'm lying, I'm flying
I said it, I meant it
I own it, cement it
It's finished, nigga
I got hooks to get 'em hooked like 'caine
Society's menace
I met a neighborhood chemist, told me all 'bout the business
He said, "Cash rules everything around me, peep the method, man"
Don't wind up in a scam with your dick in your hand
Like what happened?
Nigga you ain't follow the plan
You got that cheesecake, then how you only make you a band?
In the same timespan I get to clapping my hands
It's that easy, I'm breaking down the soul of a man
I only wear black hoodies when I chill with the clan
The squad, the gods
I'm here to show you I'm the man
[Outro]
That's who I've been
That's who I've been
That's who I am
