MY SOUL

My soul

What if I start off the track, hum the beginnin'

Fucked up the middle part and mumble the endin'?

It just feels better in my humble opinion

Much more N-words, but humble beginnings

When I act like the N-word, somebody get injured

That's why we stay in court and go to the pen' for it

Before I forget, let me go get a pen for it

Cancel culture, before I get censored

All I really meant for is you to get mentored

Before we get sentenced, before we get sent for

Remember the sentence, remember repentance

Only God can judge me, GDs and Vice Lords

Over in Danville, Stateville, Taylorville, Menard

Jacksonville, Pontiac, Pinckneyville

We mass targeted, mass marketed

Mass incarceration, mass in police stations

Mass incorporated, fuck Adidas

My soul

Won't be gettin' sleep tonight and I'm cryin' as I write this

Prayin' for my brother locked up, fightin' fires

My heart goes out to all the daughters missin' God and fathers

Never seen they loved ones 'cause they're prisoners fightin' fires

My soul

Oh, and I might be biased, but I feel God standin' by us

And the prisoners fightin' fires, oh, yeah

My soul

And I might be biased, but my soul needs you, Lord

Oh, God, please come take control

Take control of my soul

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

I know, I know

Ah-ah, oh, no, no, no, no, no

The struggle is real, gotta face it

My freedom so close, I can taste it

Make money, got bills, so I chase it

But stay on my Deen 'cause without it, I'm faithless

They promise they with you, they lies

They just want what you got and they try

All alone with nobody beside

Sit there and cry, just wishin' you'd die

Know this life is a test, tryna pass it

With my face on the ground in the Masjid

You got questions, then you better ask 'em

'Cause time wait for no one, it comes and it passes

Under pressure, attack on me daily

Love my mama, she tried, couldn't save me

Gave me tools to survive through this crazy

Fear nothing but God, and be good to your lady

Wait on tears and no one understands

It's predestined and God got a plan

One thing I know, he made me a man

He gave me two legs on the ground on to stand

To my wifey, baby, you so fine

Proud to say to the world, yeah, you mine

You stood by me through all the hard times

You pushed the line, you pushed the line

I, I can feel your light up on me

Keep shinin' your light up on me

Shine your light, just shine up on me

I can feel your light, oh
