Soul Of A Man

Lyrics

[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
