Soul (Remix) [feat. Big K.R.I.T.]

Young Krizzle

This for all dem single mothers, single fathers

Out here tryna make it

Takin' pay cuts, never lay up

Puttin' food up on the table

All dem hustlas scrappin' change

Sellin' hubbers to the hood

Trap and buckin', I ain't judgin' mane

Just know that shit ain't good

And them strippers out here bustin'

For dem ballas in the club

Be in college or yo pockets

Just know dollas ain't enough

For yo love and yo heart

Cameras on, play yo part

Never lose who you are, know yo self from the start

I know what it's like to be

So far behind you gotta fight to see

Over the shoulders of bill collectors

Granny prayin', "May God protect us"

In the heat of the night, I pray God can help us

In the darkest of alley, you can see the devil, I swear

You gotta keep him off, stay clear

Like yea, don't let 'em take yo soul

I said don't let 'em take yo soul

I said don't let 'em take yo soul

I said don't let 'em take yo

Uh, this is for my day one ride or die, free the ankle ****

Used to have to spam and eat cup noodles for dinner

Hit my mama house to do my laundry in the Winter

Still on my auntie couch but I'm goin' get out in a minute

We was on that block tryna make a way, make a way out

Granny died, had to tell my mama "It's okay now"

What you know about no lights and cold water at 16

And no car to drive when you got a girl, but you still chasin' a dream

And you grown as fuck and they tell you to get a job and quit playin'

And your bank account is so immature 'cause that shit ain't got no sense

And every **** 'round yo city hate on you just for being yo self

But you can't stop and you won't stop, you just tighten up yo belt

See don't let em take yo sou , take yo soul got damn

Better fight it and don't let 'em make you fold, got damn

Break the mold got damn, break the mold, got damn

Don't let 'em take yo soul, take yo soul, got damn

On my last leg and my last joint, and I still won't pass to them

Got my own dream and a new scheme, and I ain't goin' to the bottom again

Tell me is the people that's around my friend

Tell me will I ever wear the crown to win

I feel like I'm really just here to lose

God, can you hear when i speak to you

I don't tell no lies, just speak the truth

I don't eat with dudes, still scared to lose

I don't care, dawg I take that chance

'Cause if I fall, I get right back

I'd rather live, and bet it all

Then wonder what I coulda had

I'd rather blow the fuck up now

Then just be stuck right where I'm at

I got no choice but live my dreams

So ain't no sleepin', fuck relax

This the life I gotta live 'cause mom and dad need brand new pads

But I know the lesson is my soul intact, my **** here

They got my back, this my year

I know that that's your biggest fear

But don't let 'em take yo soul

I said don't let 'em take yo soul

I said don't let 'em take yo soul

I said don't let 'em take yo
