Soul
ADDiCTiON feat. Ab Lyrics

Leave me lone, leave me lone, leave me lone
I want to be left alone, please go away

I'm conflicted to my amazement, I'm just amazed
I am experiencing conflicting emotions that surprise me

Slim, silver spoon in my mouth
I come from a wealthy background and was born into privilege

Spoiled little Carson kid with chandelier up in my shed
I grew up spoiled and had luxurious possessions, such as a chandelier in my shed

Future's looking dim and Ab-Soul wear shades
My future is uncertain and Ab-Soul wears sunglasses to hide his emotions

Cause Punch told me to punch him in the face
My manager told me to take out my frustration on him instead of others

Make a statement we enslaved the salvation with my waking words
I use my words to raise awareness and fight against oppression and exploitation

I kept the Soul in the alphabet, the alpha-male in my era
I represent strength and leadership in my generation

I'm here to baffle them like the Baphomet
I intend to confuse and subvert convention like the Baphomet statue

They ain't know what the cover of my second album meant
People didn't understand the meaning behind the artwork for my second album

I mean the booth if I'm asking you where the bathroom at
I am so focused on my music that I sometimes forget basic details, such as where the bathroom is

Before the whole wide world I ball Top Dawg
I perform confidently and impressively in front of large audiences

They wouldn't even give this cat a rack to perform
I struggled to gain recognition and support early in my career

Sure Lori was more than empathetic but the seven
I appreciate Lori's support but I still feel overwhelmed

Hundred I got took her to Lori's instead of iHop
I took Lori out to eat with the small amount of money I had

My high-school sweetheart turned my ticker so bitter
A past relationship has left me feeling bitter and resentful

Still staying strong for Ray, CJ, and all our little sisters
I remain resilient and supportive for my siblings and loved ones

Vaneesha just had Jameel, that's my third nephew
My family is growing and I have a new nephew named Jameel

Cory's adorable and Cody still missed you
I have a nephew named Cory who is cute and I still miss someone

All my thoughts are lavender and pastel green
I am feeling calm and serene, as if surrounded by pastel colors

If you was Newey you would know what I mean (weed)
If you were a cannabis user like me, you would understand my perspective

Hundred proof Absolut in the back of your Acura
I keep high-proof alcohol in the back of my car

Donny Hathaway on repeat
I listen to Donny Hathaway's music repeatedly

My mentor asked me what happens after Control System
My mentor is curious about what I will do after my album Control System

Well hate to tell him the system control's me
I feel trapped and controlled by the societal systems around me

Spit crack, they don't want, they can't take it
My rhymes are powerful and addictive, some can't handle it

Long lost members sergeant pepper's lonely heart club band
I miss those who have left my life, like members of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Getting high with a little bit of help from my friends
I use drugs to cope and connect with others

The rifles to my rivals all my homies got a homie
My friends are loyal and have each other's backs

That bodied one of my homies, yo that cycle is psycho
The cycle of violence and revenge is dangerous and insane

A coward killed my brother Georgiano and
Someone who lacked courage killed my brother Georgiano

His momma and I'm complaining bout a album
My problems with creating music seem trivial compared to the loss this mother has experienced

Guess I'm a really pervis in the face
I am being confronted with my flaws and shortcomings

He survived due to God's grace
Someone survived a difficult situation by faith or divine intervention

Ironically hearing my uncle share the same birthday
It is strange to share a birthday with a family member

Is it fate or is it faith?
I am pondering whether my life is predetermined or guided by a higher power

I just might be in your hood still
I may still be living in your neighborhood

Lonely soul itching for a love that I've once known but I've outgrown it
I am craving a type of love that I've experienced before but have moved past

I told Famous be patient, I'm in the hills
I told a friend to be patient as I pursue my dreams in Hollywood

While this world is caving in and I'm living a vacation
Despite the chaos and destruction around me, my privileged lifestyle feels like a vacation

Or so it seems, to the wig it's all in
My carefree attitude may be perceived differently by others

What does it take to find a coffin to make these niggas crawl in?
I am fed up with the negativity and wish for some people to disappear

I tried to stall him but I ain't have no alternative
I tried to delay someone's actions but had no other choice

I told him to think smart, he told me get it how I live
I encouraged someone to consider their actions carefully, but they advised me to live as I see fit

Point taken dawg
I understand your message, my friend

Why have we forsaken us?
Why have we abandoned ourselves and our communities?

Blasting that Satan for salvation, feels Pagan
Using extreme methods to fight against evil feels primitive and unorthodox

Graced in the Land of Canaan
I feel blessed and fortunate to live where I do

But my new world translation speaks of a different arrangement
My interpretation of life does not align with traditional beliefs or social norms

When Death meets death eternal breath fills my lungs
When someone dies, they may inspire others to live more fully and appreciate life

Death forever paid in the name of God's son
Death is a constant and unavoidable part of life, as exemplified through Jesus' crucifixion

Currently wasting away in this wicked system
I feel trapped and suffocated by the corrupt systems and institutions of society

Scared to pray for forgiveness cause I ain't sure if I repent it
I am unsure if my regrets and remorse are genuine, so I hesitate to ask for forgiveness

Oh what an existence
Life can be overwhelming and difficult to endure

In fact is this really living?
I question whether my current state of existence is truly living or simply surviving

Drowning in my own expenses while tryna make Soul listen to my infinite wisdom
I am struggling to manage my finances while also trying to share my knowledge and insights with others
