The Soul |
Wait—with all due respect to people who do an intro, I’d just rather do this |
shit the way we’ve been doin' it |
Soulful |
Look, patience, new beginning’s comin' |
Niggas been had drive, had to get the engine runnin' |
You either die chasin' dreams or you gon' live for nothin' |
Shit, nigga I’d get murdered 'fore I not make it |
Niggas told me, «spot's taken» |
Nigga, it’s REASON, word to Liam Neeson |
If it’s taken once then you can take it twice |
Don’t ever think they love you, that’s some great advice |
So if you ain’t used to pay attention, gotta pay the price |
Shit, just a year ago, nigga, I was hatin' life |
8-to-5 workin' for massa, I slaved through it |
Nights cryin' to P like, «I hate music» |
Now my shows sell out like Ray Lewis |
Who is REASON, nigga? |
Nigga, I’m the thin line |
I’m one nigga that think he big time |
A walkin' contradiction, but admit mine |
Outspoken but horrible, my feelings inside |
'Til the beat play and all the pain come out |
Let’s speak 'bout what this game about |
I gave it all to make it, I’m not leavin' |
Do it for the streets, my nigga, the block bleedin' |
Better off swallowin' knives than to try to stop REASON |
I ain’t a killer, but don’t push me, I’m 'Melo with the hoodie |
Mike Jackson with the boogie, Kobe Bryant as a rookie |
But… I kinda like this shit |
So if a pro test me I’ma strike his shit, Del Amo’s very own |
Jordans in the closet, shit, that’s where we bury bones |
Soul ain’t needed help for years, carried on his own |
And still Carson in the house, put on for my city |
Ain’t no competition, we just got strong in the city |
Ride for my city, a couple homies died and I cried for my city |
Wishin' they was here to see it |
Never asked Soul for help 'cause I didn’t need it |
Want him to be proud, I still respect him as a leader |
So I paved my own way, made my own decisions |
Keem asked if I was signed with Top and I felt indifferent |
Not that I’m not grateful, just got my apprehensions, shit |
«Nigga, what apprehensions you got?» |
Came from the bottom, so of course I’m apprehensive of Top |
Grew up with Crips, of course I’m apprehensive of Rock |
Feel I’m the greatest, of course I’m apprehensive of Dot |
Been often hated, ain’t a square but come from the block |
Look, my family sell dope, cousin caught some bodies |
Now I sell crack music on some records, caught some hom-ies |
Got signed, still broke, got high, still low |
Long as REASON still spittin', nigga, still got hope |
REASON do this for the soul of it |
Ain’t scared of layin' in dirt, nigga, we rose from it |
The game’s mine, it’s not yours like nose runnin' |
Swag drippin' like water so it’s ironic how these hoes runnin' to a nigga |
Nigga, it’s crazy how these hoes used to do a nigga |
Couldn’t get attention if I paid for it |
But I’m that nigga now, used to run around chasin' bitches |
Now I’m givin' bitches the run-around, script-flippin' |
Don’t compare me to niggas, this a big difference |
I do this shit for the scholars and for the Crip niggas |
With their weapons raised |
Knew I would be the second comin' in the second grade |
REASON hustled with it |
I don’t do much talkin', more of a demonstrator |
Music turned a meetin' with Top into a «see you later» |
Later turned that «see you later» to a «welcome home» |
Won’t take my foot off the gas until I’m dead and gone |
Moosa said, «Patience, new beginning’s comin'» |
Niggas been had drive, Top got the engine runnin' |
Either stand for somethin' or you gon' live for nothin' |
Shit I’ma live for somethin', can’t give this shit up |
I was cursed with a dream |
Ain’t nothin' sweet about me, I ain’t candy |
But watch this star burst on the scene |
I was givin' a blessin' |
It’s a slap in God’s face if I ain’t a livin' legend |
My family needs the blessings |
Pops still workin', auntie on the block |
Mama in the hood, Faun still locked |
Still ain’t finished so I owe somethin' |
REASON do it for the soul of it |
There you have it |
