Overall Meaning

In J.O.H.N.'s song "Soul," the opening line, "Yeah one time for your mind, two times for your soul" sets the tone for the whole song. The song is a tribute to old-school hip-hop and the artists who stayed true to the roots of the genre. This song's message is about being one of the few greats in hip-hop who stay true to their style while still evolving and keeping it fresh.


The verse that follows praises graffiti artists, who still prioritize creative expression over fame, and their work on the street walls as they uprock, pop-lock, and backspin. J.O.H.N. addresses the term "boom bap," a sub-genre of hip-hop characterized by hard-hitting drums and sparse sampling. Throughout the song, he emphasizes the importance of the style as a way to keep the legacy of hip hop alive.


J.O.H.N. also speaks about his own ability as an MC and asserts his authenticity and impact. He proudly claims his place among the greats in the industry who have real skills, work ethic, and are hardcore. The references to Adidas, seven-letter O.D. MC, and the "b-boy, b-girl" callout illustrate J.O.H.N.'s deep respect for the culture and authenticity.
