Soul Right
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Lyrics

Smooth, nigga, you know what I'm sayin'?
Confident and cool, you understand my vibe?

Too motherfuckin' smooth, bitch, yeah
I am excessively, confidently cool, woman, yes.

Bald head, head like a baby, a baby ass, bitch, yeah
I am bald with a smooth scalp and a young-looking face, woman, yes.

Here to motherfuckin' remain, yeah
I am strongly enduring, yes.

Uh, bitch nigga
Hey, weak man.

It's still fuck police, too
I still have a strong dislike for law enforcement.

Rest in peace Terrence Crutcher, motherfuck Betty Shelby (Fuck that bitch)
I express condolences for Terrence Crutcher and disdain for Betty Shelby, the officer involved in his death.

I never wish death but bitch, find a hollow tip and inhale it
I never explicitly desire someone's death, but I suggest that she take in a bullet to her core.

When Taz drove off with two kilos, I told him we should mail it
When Taz absconded with two kilograms of drugs, I advised him to mail it instead of risking getting caught.

And now we gone up the river, they seen my nigga sellin'
Now we are imprisoned because someone witnessed my associate selling drugs.

Nigga killed the police in Dallas, that's probably fake news
Someone allegedly murdered officers in Dallas, but I wonder if this news is fabricated.

While they knock 'em off with robotics, R2D2's
While authorities use machines like robots, such as R2D2 from Star Wars, to eliminate people.

Everything on me icy, Snow White, it's just like I skiied through
All of my jewelry is cold and pristine, like Snow White, and it seems like I effortlessly acquired it.

I sit back in the trap with them rats and I watch the cheese move
I calmly observe the illegal drug trade unfold from my prime position in the 'trap,' or drug house.

Shaki' all these nutso niggas off the roof, off the record
I shake off all these crazy guys figuratively like a wild dance, but I won't say their names.

Ball without a motherfuckin' ball like I was Tommy Sheppard
I play basketball without the ball itself like I'm the skilled General Manager, Tommy Sheppard of the Washington Wizards.

Life a bachelor party, we with them strippers on O's and X's
My life feels like a never-ending bachelor party, filled with scantily clad performers and games of Tic-Tac-Toe.

I can't hold no grudges, my hands is too busy catching blessings, yeah
I cannot expend energy on holding resentment because my hands are full of opportunities and blessings.

Yeah, and I been struggling my whole life, yeah
I have been enduring various hardships for my entire life.

I pour it up and get my soul right
I drink to cope and to improve my inner peace.

East side boy, my mama was the mail lady (Yeah)
I'm from the east side, and my mother was a mail carrier.

Brother and my sister got degrees but I got the yayo, baby (Yeah)
My siblings earned academic degrees, but I got involved in the cocaine business.

Had to beat my case, I can't turn Irie to a jail baby
I fought and won my legal battle because I couldn't handle going to prison.

Bitch, I weigh that shit up in my crib, I think your scale shady
I weigh illegal substances in my house and suspect that your measuring device is dishonest.

Pass it off and drop it like Stockton, bitch, I facilitate
I pass the drugs off and drop them like how John Stockton passed and dropped the basketball for Utah Jazz; I effectively move the merchandise.

Fucked some niggas off but I also done set some niggas straight
I may have had sex with some men, but I also gave other men guidance and discipline.

Way back when we had rows and Lincolns is all a nigga ate
In the past, a guy like myself only got to drive cars that had bench seats and were long like rows and Lincoln Continentals.

And every day I fuck up a bulletproof glass chicken plate, uh
Every day, I make holes in bullet-resistant glass that's supposed to cover fried chicken.

Empty stomach, broken heart, and empty pocket
I am hungry, hurt emotionally, and lacking funds.

Three things that occur to show you if you and your niggas solid
These three conditions will indicate whether you and your associates are reliable and trustworthy.

Know that they won't prosper but the devil still gon' form the weapon
Evil forces will continue to create means to harm you, even if they do not ultimately benefit from it.

I can't hold no grudges, my hands is too busy catching blessings, yeah (Blessings, blessings)
I cannot allow bitterness to take hold because I am concentrating on reaping goodness.

So I broke it down and it was all white, yeah
I separated the drug and it was powdery and white.

Mama always told me it'd be alright, yeah
My mother always taught me to keep the faith even when times were tough.

I still broke it down and it was all white, yeah
I maintain that I did divide the drug and it was pure and free from adulterants.

I pray the Lord'll get my soul right, yeah
I am reaching out to God for my restoration and redemption.

I still pray to Lord'll get my soul right
I persistently seek divine intervention for inner healing.
