For The Soul

[Verse: The A.Z.]

Now a days I’m getting paid to speak
Ain't making much but I get paid per week
Demons on my body we gone make my angels weep
Reminiscing bout them time when I was feeling weak
Down up on my knees
I prayed to God I wouldn’t taste defeat
Shoutout everybody who doubted me
Shoutout to my boss who paid me 4 dollars hourly
Shoutout to cost cause all the sacrifices turned me to a boss
Take a loss
I ain't wit it I know losing be cowardly
Shoutout my niggas in the trenches know you living in hurt
And I ain’t live that life but came across some feelings that worse
Like when brown skin in an ocean full of whites who call you dirt
Or making slavе jokes think they comedians thеy ain’t learn
Shoutout the niggas that supported me
Used rap on simulated beats and y’all recorded me
Used to think we hard up in these streets and act accordingly
Flirting with sororities
Do this til' my death or at least til my seniority
If I’m gone chase my dream
I Fantasize about some make belief
Then compromise and make some goals that I can really reach
It’s on my mind like all the time til I can’t barely breathe
Filling all my thoughts Ain't leaving room for any vacancy
And I know they can see
We be acting like I made I ain’t made it yet
And haters throwing all this shade but I ain’t hate it yet
Talking on my name cause they be scared I be they greatest threat
Talking on my name
Like tell me what you got against me
Forget bout being stubborn let’s just use some common sense please
And I guess that I do it too
Misconstrued and change my view
What you say don’t matter I remembered it correctly
All that glitters ain’t be good but I’m a diamond in the rough
Acting like I’m sandras rose show these bois wassup
You acting out of character but I think u act enough
Grab you stuff I think that it’s time for you to wrap it up
Cause the grass ain’t gone get green unless u water it
That’s a tuff pill but I ain’t forcing y’all to swollen it
They asking what I want is it the fame or the influence the change things I ain’t think about it I just say all of it
And when I eat you gone eat too
And that’s a promise all the bad things in our life imma make sure that we can redo
Y’all acting tuff but like a window I can see through
Seen through all the bullshit now the fake ones I can elude
