The song is an introduction to Soulful Thoughts. He gives a brief of the whole project, people he met, people he trusted, people who betrayed him and people he loved. The project is all about good and bad times. It is very conceptual so don’t put it on shuffle. You need to listen according to the nu...
[Intro]
Cobb: Yes...
Mal: You said you dreamt that we’d grow old together
Cobb: We had our time together and I have to let you go
Uhm, yeah
Let me welcome you
Huh! I guess that's what everybody does right?
Yeah!
(Taylor 'bout to fuckin' flex)
[Verse]
Grabbing the pen yet again
Expressing my feels so I can feel better man
Talk about her and then I feel better man
Her dude wants to kill me, I say you better man
I feel like they looking up to me
They never say it to my face, but it's vivid man I see
I'm writing all this heat, I'm killing all these vids
Nothing explicit, my songs are Handy Andy clean
Nah, they can't stop me
I'm popping off the internet, like "have you seen F Zone bade?"
Ah if not, hade, been telling y'all, kade
Ning'thathela phansi, aga shem dade
Uhm, what's my EP without Tweested?
Uhm, what's a TWestVEVO without Tha Phenzas?
Uhm, what's a great song without a pencil?
Uhm, what's a heartbreak without Phelo?
Man I'm grateful for them, ain't gon' even front about it
I'll never be on the gram 'cause my lifestyle is boring
Of course I'm at it again, different book, essential story
They looking up to me, but they came before me
Homie, I've been at it while it was too ratchet
I call my gents for help whenever I'm short of budget
Uhm, something is missing, somebody help
Used to look up to Sbuda P back in 2012
Pardon me, it just flipped my mind
That I give hope to rappers, I gotta get it on time
Huh, mxm, can I share a joke homie?
Chippa M once claimed that he wrote a song for me
Nxa! Moving right along
I can't wait for granny to complain that I'm never home
Yizo! Raba kena boy
See for yourself that I'm the bomb
Ey, me and Phelo hardly talk
Tried to repair things, but the distance broke it off
Passion is starting to fall, ain't no one to call
I understand why Tozi didn't believe at it all
Uhm, uhm I need to give thanks boy
When royalties check out, I'ma give that chick a cheque boy
Gotta be myself, no one else boy
Focus on yourself only then check the stats boy
Gone
Soulful thoughts
Yeah, soulful thought
Soulful Thoughts was written by Thabo Thwala.
Soulful Thoughts was produced by Young Taylor.
T.West released Soulful Thoughts on Fri Mar 23 2018.
I wrote this verse for La Musica TV interview and when I heard this beat, I decided to spit that verse and put as an intro. To my surprise, the intro also summarised the whole mixtape.
I always prefer the first song to be the album title because on the song you explain the reasons behind the title.
