Real Thinkers
Ab-Soul Lyrics

It's Mr Ab Soulutely
Ab-Soul introduces himself with a play on words

More drive than the fastest hooptie
Ab-Soul has more motivation and ambition than an old, beat-up car

More alive than a newborn unicorn in the sky
Ab-Soul feels invigorated and full of life like a mythical creature just born into the world

And I just get more fly by the second I wreck it
Ab-Soul continues to improve and impress each time he performs

That immortality is not a myth or just a lie
Ab-Soul believes that his music will live on forever

'Cause every time I speak this thesis is justified

Sublime rhyme and reason being why

I open minds in hopes that you open your mind

Holding my fro and scoping the scene out

And spitting sixteens spitting my spleen out
Ab-Soul uses his music as a cathartic outlet to express his innermost thoughts and feelings

Thought I had it made but ain't shit clean
Ab-Soul realizes that even when you achieve success, there are always challenges and obstacles to overcome

And I been chasing this dream since Wayne made Bling Bling
Ab-Soul has been working towards his dream for a long time, since the days of Lil Wayne's hit song 'Bling Bling'

I drift off in thought and teleport to Beijing
Ab-Soul's mind wanders as he thinks about his dreams and aspirations, taking him to far-off places

Pushing 25 but still feelin like 18
Despite getting older, Ab-Soul still has the energy and drive of a much younger person

With more insight than a encyclopedia
Ab-Soul has gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom over the years, and has a lot to share

The Carson Arson warm enough to fight anemia
Ab-Soul's hometown of Carson, CA has given him the strength and drive to overcome any obstacle, including illness

And I'm just warning up
Ab-Soul is just getting started, and has a lot more to say

Got em sweating bullets big enough to load the pump
Ab-Soul's raps are so intense and powerful that they make his listeners nervous and jittery

Strategize, just fantasize
Ab-Soul encourages listeners to think strategically, but also to dream big

They don't emulate they just antagonize
Ab-Soul criticizes those who don't take inspiration from others, but instead put them down

They don't illustrate they just be writing rhymes
Ab-Soul wants rappers to go beyond simple rhyming, and really illustrate their thoughts and ideas

They don't demonstrate they hide behind their lines
Ab-Soul challenges rappers to truly show their skills and abilities, instead of just hiding behind their lyrics

And on my rise to success
Ab-Soul reflects on his own journey to success

I'm just searching for the perfect concept
Ab-Soul wants to create the perfect idea or message in his music

I swear I'll be the Einstein of my time
Ab-Soul sets high expectations for himself, wanting to be the greatest and most influential rapper of his generation

It's not E but AB equals MC squared
Ab-Soul plays on the famous scientific equation to suggest that his own ideas and impact are just as monumental as Einstein's
