[Intro: [?]]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, da haw, da haw, da haw
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, da haw, da haw, da haw
[Verse 1: [?]]
I couldn't care less about what you brothers be drivin'
So I'm gonna tell you a little about what I've been
Struggle and strive for pay that's little more
Than minimum wage, a caged bird singing away
I feel your pain so I can send it away
Holding onto the promise that the present hour is soon to relay
But I still remain a slave to the flesh [?]
Couldn't sanitize when your heart and soul have been vandalized
You couldn't [?] for the armor, they couldn't handle mine
And I see your bull**** without a candle shine
In the middle of dark where people practice the art
Of nothing less than overcoming the stresses of life
It's like a vice, applying pressure to mics
We get squeezing, all act like we ain't needed advice
But it's all in our nature so I'm knowin' that it's real for ya
So here's another soul clap to show I'm here for ya
[Chorus: [?]]
Can I get a soul clap for all the brothers on lock down? (Peace to the, peace to the)
Them brothers on rocks now, with you holdin' the spot down (Peace to the)
Can I get a [?] for all the ladies who stand up? (Peace to the, peace to the)
To then gettin' your grades up, who don't need a man, what? (Peace to the)
Can I get get a soul clap for anybody out to get it (Peace to the, peace to the)
If you hustlin' then get it, while providin', don't spit it (Peace to the)
We puttin' the soul back, back together again (Peace to the, peace to the)
And soul clap for women and men (Peace to the)
[Verse 2: [?]]
I walk my soul on the surface, lurking through cracks and crevices
Building with merchants they got brothers trapped worshiping serpents
On the Earth working for pennies, searching for curses in my verses
But God bless, I manifest, I put this fist to your chest
And represent 'til my flesh is at rest
And when I exit, resurrect through my seeds, connect the words that bleed
The ink from the pen wrote on the pad
That's word to my moms and dad, best believe I'ma finish this for y'all (Y'all)
I got my mind and my physical
Spiritual law, guiding light on the path
Through the world system as I spit these lyrics
Released from my vocal structure, attack the mic like a vulture
Highly sculptured like Greek statues, when I smash through
The streets with the m-i-c in my hands
More players that pension my ascension like that ribbon in the sky
I'm living just enough to get by, Lord, I try
[Chorus: [?]]
Can I get a soul clap for all the brothers on lock down? (Peace to the, peace to the)
Them brothers on rocks now, with you holdin' the spot down (Peace to the)
Can I get a [?] for all the ladies who stand up? (Peace to the, peace to the)
To then gettin' your grades up, who don't need a man, what? (Peace to the)
Can I get get a soul clap for anybody out to get it (Peace to the, peace to the)
If you hustlin' then get it, while providin', don't spit it (Peace to the)
We puttin' the soul back, back together again (Peace to the, peace to the)
And soul clap for women and men (Peace to the)
[Verse 3: [?]]
Yeah, momma was good to me, daddy was great too
Growing up was nourishing, helped me to grow like steak do
I'm in the lake deeper, but I'm tryna paddle back
High tide cause rowin' I'm so on flow with a Cadillac
Not really an expedition, but I keep my hopes high
Reachin' for my dreams as I travel, watchin' 'em flow by
I feel so sad, it's real, congrats to ya
Either got you stuck in the city or they blastin' ya
Case is pendin', all these cops harrasin' ya
Survive in my country or it's back to Africa
Master ya, they want the blood like Dracula
Hot spots downtown, feel me, I'm backin' up
It's packing up, since you told me I'm cracking up
Head high, look to the sky, ayo, that's wassup
Soul clappin', just another brother that's rappin'
Like I told you before, it's time for some action
[Chorus: [?]]
Can I get a soul clap for all the brothers on lock down? (Peace to the, peace to the)
Them brothers on rocks now, with you holdin' the spot down (Peace to the)
Can I get a [?] for all the ladies who stand up? (Peace to the, peace to the)
To then gettin' your grades up, who don't need a man, what? (Peace to the)
Can I get get a soul clap for anybody out to get it (Peace to the, peace to the)
If you hustlin' then get it, while providin', don't spit it (Peace to the)
We puttin' the soul back, back together again (Peace to the, peace to the)
And soul clap for women and men (Peace to the)
[Outro]
"You're special"
"Keep on this path, you gon' destroy yourself"
"You ain't never gonna amount to nothing"
"Why won't you ever listen to me"
"I ain't bailing you out of jail this time"
"You never was any good at math"
"You're special"
"I coulda swore I told you to clean up"
"You could stay locked up"
"You too stupid to get a corporate job"
"Get out of my face, you lame"
"Money makes the world go round"
"You're special"
"That's as high as you can jump?"
"Broke man gets no love"
"You a fake"
"You're special"
"You slower"
"Than Leonardo the retardo
And do—he ain't—he ain't even forreal"
"I don't want nothing from you"
"Quit fooling yourself"
"You're special"
"Drop dead"
"You're special"
