LOST SOUL
Boondawg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That’s why my heart cold
Fuck the police, I got the law under my torso
By any means, gotta go hard, It can get awful
I am a thief, I am a thug, I am a lost soul
I am a thief, I am a thug, I am a king
All of my kin
Death on ma hip, Lucifer in ma jeans
Don't wanna talk, I ain't your friend
I am a fiend, gotta see god, tell him my sins
Since a lil kid I been dreaming 'bout money
Power and respect
Now that I got nigga I’m a mess
Now that I got it guilt is all I think about
I swear the only reason it ain't take me out
Because they count on me the clock
Ain't ticking for a minute
I been thinking 'bout just
Dippin' for a minute
Baby why don‘t we just kick it for a minute
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Say, why the fuck is you followin me?
Say, why the fuck do you do what I say?
I am a demon, forgot how to pray
I can not deal with the price that I pay
Ma heart so frozen, it doesnt get colder
I am a fiend, I can never be sober
Came from the streets, raised in the dark
That’s why my heart cold
Fuck the police, I got the law under my torso
By any means, gotta go hard, It can get awful
I am a thief, I am a thug, I am a lost soul
The lyrics to Boondawg's song "Lost Soul" depict a person who has grown up in a tough environment, represented by the streets and darkness. Their experiences have hardened their heart, leading them to have a disregard for authority, as symbolized by the line "Fuck the police, I got the law under my torso." This suggests a rebellious attitude towards societal norms and a determination to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means resorting to questionable or illegal means. The singer identifies themselves as a thief, a thug, and a lost soul, illustrating a sense of self-awareness of their tumultuous nature and conflicting identity.
Despite their tough exterior and criminal tendencies, the lyrics also reveal a desire to provide and take care of their loved ones. They refer to their family and friends as "ma peops, all of my dawgs, all of my kin" and express a need to ensure their well-being. However, there is an underlying darkness in their existence, as they mention having death and Lucifer close at hand. This suggests a constant battle with temptation and inner demons.
The lyrics touch upon the singer's dreams of wealth, power, and respect that they have had since childhood. Yet, now that they have achieved some level of success, guilt consumes them. This guilt implies that their pursuit of material success has come at a cost, and thoughts of their actions and their overall impact trouble their conscience. The lyrics also hint at a fleeting desire to escape this lifestyle, as the singer considers briefly "dippin' for a minute" and just enjoying a simpler moment. However, the underlying theme of being a lost soul and a fiend is pervasive in the song, emphasizing the character's struggle with their own identity and the inability to find redemption.
