Uh
Protect ya neck, protect your soul, spit methanol
Get it choppin′ like a vegetableSo intellectual, don't believe me? Homie check the polls
But I ain′t in it for the decimals
Conceptional, rap is my confessional
One in a milli flow, no collectibles
I be potent with the grime, servin' is my pastime
Leave a knot up in your stomach like some edibles
Vibin' out to the sound of Dilla beats
Climbin′ down from a tower build with greed
Man all my loved ones stay so proud of me
But when I stepped up on the scene, mad cats was doubting me
Like, how′s this kid post to be a rapper?
And he serve Jah too? That's a reason for laughter
He′s inauthentic, boy he's just an actor
I′ll buy his CD and shove it down the crapper
I'm like hold up, can you give a chance?
Don′t discard just 'cuz I ain't got a trendy dance
I ain′t another artist talking ′bout a failed romance
Or how many freakin' racks I got stuffed in my pants
I′m just tryna make a couple conscious rhymes
Always keeping Jah first 'cuz he′s so sublime
I don't wanna resort to dealin′ packs and dimes
Strappin' nines for the greenback and shine
New school boy, I'mma reinvent it
Like Joey, Earl, J. Cole, and Kendrick
Claim rap, get approval from the hip hop senate
Stop gunnin′ for the dollars, the ′raris and the Prada
Ain't spitting worth nada, without any talent
Heavy is the hand that be slammin′ the mallet
That's why I won′t sign on the dotted lines
I want more than the bennies and the concubines
Put on my headphones then
Pick up my pad, pick up my pen
And write my thoughts between the lines
This is stress relief in my life
Soulful vibes
That's what′s inside, that's what's inside of me
Soulful vibes
That′s what′s inside, that's what′s inside of me
Always searchin' for clues of happiness
Day and night, I′m excluded, imagine if
You were stagnant
In moods construed as "lackin' this"
When I try to locate my protagonist
I find myself put back in that abyss, that′s inadequate
I'm an addict for wishin' for lavishness
Still testin′ life′s challenges
Like is that askin' too much to be counted with?
The respect, the greatness surpassin′ this
Type of life? All my life I've been travelin′
Through my thoughts in my mind I've been battlin′
Half of me be the savageness
Carryin' grief when my heart is deceived
The other side sees
No profit in beef so I just turn a cheek
I am soul like afros on black women
I am soul like Pharaoh's Egyptians
I am soul like mac n′ cheese, chicken with collard greens
Corn on the cob and beans for dinner
I feel like y′all not seein' my vision
I′m tryna sell my story to a colosseum of tickets
Heed how I'm livin′, notice I don't feed off attention
Drivin′ through my life with the speed of ambition
Yeah that's what I tell myself
Even though I don't know inside
Chasin′ dreams ′til I see a way
And this hard work is gon' provide
Well even if this leads to nothin′
And all this rappin's just a waste of time
I make music as a stress relieve
Melly Mel with the soulful vibes
Put on my headphones then
Pick up my pad, pick up my pen
And write my thoughts between the lines
This is stress relief in my life
Soulful vibes
That′s what's inside, that′s what's inside of me
Soulful vibes
That's what′s inside, that′s what's inside of me
Peep game as I strike with deep aim
Devourin′ this track ain't finna refrain
Ricochet through the haze, set the tapes ablaze
It′s like a maze, gaze upon this great display
Portrayed, now, without a facade
Without a mirage, or case of mistaken identity
Credibility in my vicinity
Enemies fearing me, lyrically, I'm on a killin′ streak
Experimental flow, that's just how it goes
Tryna change it up a little so I ain't so so
Oh no, taking photos with a GoPro
Homegrown, no solo dolo (What?)
Honestly I don′t know what I′m saying
I'm just playing around, rap is like my playground
209 Motown, quite profound
Wear the wrong colors, they might gun you pros down
Hit the floor, deck you like the Inspectah
Dictionary word collector
Rhyme ejector, poetry roots protector
Y′all sweet like some tulip nectar
Homie it's Kill The Mic here for your entertainment
Touching souls, we complacent
We adjacent to Jah Jah, never Satan
That sucka can cop this ailment
Set it off like a Mac 11, (Pow)
Raw material, unleavened (Wow)
Keep it classic like shell toe Adidas
And I ain′t ever chargin' for a feature
Got a couple pockets full of raps, you know I′m tryna strive
To make this my nine to five
So I lift my head up when the day gets rough
Cuz we all know Jah provide
Soulful vibes
That's what's inside, that′s what′s inside of me
Soulful vibes
That's what′s inside, that's what′s inside of me
