SoulFly Lyrics by Rod Wave
Conversatin’ with Mama, she said I’m in too deep
Until my n***** rich and free, it’s hard to get me some sleep (Sleep, yeah)
It’s hard to get me some peace
With all the shit that I be battling
Too many ups and downs, sometimes I feel like I can’t balance it (Uh)
It be challengin’
So many challenges
Yeah
Our father (Our father)
It’s safe to say times harder (This shit get harder)
My Pops say, “Son be smarter, you a artist and a father”
My Unc say, “Nah, be smarter, you a target and regardless”
“You a leader to them people and them young n***** is watching”
“Them young n***** believe in you, don’t let ’em down, be cautious”
And I got skills and other things but rich off rapping pain
So much that came with all this fame but I remain the same
Hope you don’t think ’cause I got chains, that’s what made me change
It’s just this life got so strange, I had to switch lanes
N***** pulled up and I be outside
Laid in the cut like peroxide, yeah
I vowed to be frontline when shots fired
I was out of town that night when
Died, yeah
Standing in church blurry-eyed, that I had to confess (Yeah)
I seen my n**** laid to rest, in his Sunday best
Polo on his head and chest, now that’s casket fresh
Wish we would’ve seen eye to eye before you left
And where I’m from it’s a eye for an eye, nothin’ else (Nothin’ else)
Ain’t no love, it ain’t no help, every man for they self (Yeah)
Better watch your homies, keep your skrap or get scrapped to a shelf (Brra)
Ain’t no complaining when it’s raining, play the hand you dealt
Ain’t got no opps, just some n***** who mad that I made it (Yeah, yeah)
And since you n***** mad I made it, pick a casket baby (Brra)
On the net exaggerating, ain’t even half as gangster
It’s funny and it’s fascinating, how even family hate you (Yeah, yeah)
Wanna hit the show but you ain’t show up to my graduation
I can’t take y’all to the top, I ain’t no elevator
Thinkin’ of my cousin, Dejah (Oh, God)
Was way in 2013, when she left, I was fifteen, when she left
They say it won’t be long, all I want
Is when the horn blows and when they all cry
I pray my soul flies
Pray my soul flies
Pray my soul flies (Turn into the fucking birds)
They say it won’t be long, no
All I want
Is when the horn blows and when them all cry
I pray my soul flies, uh
Pray my soul flies
I pray my soul flies
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, mmm
I pray my soul flies, I pray my soul flies
