Soul Food ft. Diran J, Allo Thompson & Rodriquez Lyrics

Be without fear in the face of your enemies

Be brave and upright that God may love thee

Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong

This is your oath

Black out like an activist

If I die have my money in a labyrinth

Resurrect like the Lazarus

No lie, turn the man to myth

Seeing through 'em like a mammogram

Say my name like Candyman

Goddamn I forgot again

Oh yeah yeah

Count to nine 'fore I got to ten

Lost my wallet but I got the tip

Oh yeah yeah

Next fall Imma take a trip

Might move where the angels live

Sound nice

Might check for the flashing lights

Get high like a summer night

Ice cold how they stole my rights

Left dead for a stolen bike

Shitting me Imma be alright

Fried chicken with a lot of side, don't forget the Sprite

Soul food was the way of life

The old head wasn't always wise

Had a decent heart, but we could tell he had too much pride

We was all outside, looking every man we saw in the eyes

Saying nigga we gon' be your demise

We a pack of lions

No fear, but we crossed the lines

Tell the truth, we had lost our minds

Drinking gin while we in our prime nigga

While we in our prime nigga

Two step if your hands slide

Foot work from the Toosie slide

Nigga where you from, Imma need to see all yo tribes

Tell yo pops that he owe me five

Hope we all survive, that we all thrive

Nigga pass my nine, Imma shoot for mine

Allo you gon' act for us or what

You're my blood, you could pass for one of us

Tell me how much you got in your bank account

Naw chill I'm just asking just because

Trust me dawg, I don't care about all the things that I heard about

Talking 'bout you on set and on Netflix, plus the next flick

Yeah I heard, oh the word's out

You ain't never heard then, but you heard now

Oh that's funny

I decided to not watch the news promoting the violence for views

I ain't really into politics too

I ain't been since I got outta school

What these people really want from a nigga like DMX in 2002

Promise I ain't really in for the beef

To say something, get it out in the booth

2019 I struggled a lot

Like how to be a man to understand America's cops

Like what's my options, go to college or audition a lot

Hope for the best 'cause I don't know if Imma fit for the spot

So in position not to get any realistic riches

They expecting me to just listen

Chill, just sit and just watch

Oh that's funny

I do not stop for nothing, just know I am not the one

Oh that's funny

Not tryna get stopped with ones, you see all these cops with guns got us running

Get abducted

First it's the flow, then the cuffs coming

Young black man, know I'm up to something

They always gon' hate when you touch some money

But you know you can hit up big bruh for something

If you really want it, you can really get it

VV on my shirt, we can be specific

Forreal

Out the trunk of a genius

I place myself in positions that kept some distance between us

I'm drinking more, now I'm thinking

In hibernation with my thoughts, but when I'm sober their weaker

I'm reading books for my soul and saving checks for rainy days

Can barely stay on that road

Hundred miles pass the pigs, I guess we'll see where this goes

Just not where my mama stay, been pressing into my soul

I'm just not with that namaste, my God got me on a journey

I just flew back in the country, Haitian flag high in the air

Look like a Spud Webb jersey

I'm breaking bread with the thirsty

You say success in loneliness like leaving gum for the hungry

Still send receipts to my ex somehow still hoping she want me

With all them flaws in my baggage, I never been through the laundry

I put emotions in the back, let you shotgun the front seat

Sometime forgetting what I have keep me humble and hungry

We got these sins in our path, but I know Jesus love me

Yeah it's hard to hear the truth, but I want it

Atheists know that He coming

Read a cardboard said ending is near, leave a wide gate here for destruction

Read a book in class on how we got here, man how is this even a discussion

Let a pig know if my life worth shit, Soo Yung go ahead and push the button
