Soul
K.A.A.N Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Told em for years
That He golden
He Overdose
Wit quotes he wrote
And Soul Never folding
That mic cold give it here
His lightbulb lit
Exposing it clear

Life's a dice throw
Never frozen in fear
He like a maestro
In his mode on a tear (They said)
They only hear tones
Not what he saying
Went from Bare bones
To not fucking playing
A list-a tiny ni$$as
When I spot tuck ya chain in
Beach Cruiser up the block
Nuts is hanging
Wheels squeaking
He still beasting the beat
And still eating
He still reaching for peaks
Cats wilding
Kill season for freaks
Lost reason
It's I'll seeing it's deep
Ya homie dry hating
You kept it real from start




The lesson real
That why I just chill and watch

(Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
The mastermind is back
My flow I'm never forcing it
I'm putting you niggas to sleep when I get on the beat like I'm Dr. Kevorkian
Extortionist
They better proceed with caution
I was just countin' my losses
Giving a vision I really comprised
I'm making it real in front of your eyes
Develop a plan then we strategize
You want my demise and I bet you decide
To antagonize and try to divide
I'm keeping them niggas away from my side
I'm saying what you really gotta do when you intrigue
With the way a motherfucker do it properly
There ain't no way a pussy mothafucker stopping me
I said the flow is similar to an anomaly
What I got to be is one dope MC
That's necessary and legendary
Wonder why a nigga livin' with an attitude
But that's hereditary
Your opinion varies
And the people base it off of a few facades
Was a euphemism, but no you forgot
No, we should be ashamed
And ask for repentance
If you play that back, then I could [?] a sentence
And I fucking meant it, I am so demented
I would cut my wrist until the pain was ending
I was problematic when I needed help
And I pray to god to find a sense of self
And I
Know I never found it, became more grounded
Livin' in a puddle of tears and I was drowning
I put it on a page, amazed, and I'm astounded
To find what it means to really be well rounded

[Bridge]
Lawd
Yea
Sledge made the mothafucking beat
Aha
That's it
Ight let's do it
Yea

[Verse 2]
I keep it honest in my rhymes
That's all that I can do
As I provide the truth
But what's the use
It's hopeless for the youth
We live in a world where nobody cares
And I realize that nobody is there
Unable to hear
I'm making it clear
I'm working to overcome all of my fears
Surpassing the mothafuckin bastard boy
You wanna rap with the pastor giving you his passion
I preach to the masses
You would've never match it
But everything a nigga ever did was a classic
A drastic change that I can make as I fashion
Myself in a position where the people can't pass it
With all of the pain this mothafucker is masking
I still wanna die, what the fuck you really asking?
I've been tried prayer but the shit don't work
Read Psalms 15 but I still feel hurt
God Damn young man, what is your self-worth?
Shit I probably couldn't find it even if I looked
I take a deep breath, accept my regrets
Regroup and expect to be a reject
My pain to deflect
A moment to reflect
Gotta put it on a page
Prepare the concept
And I
Wanna make sure the music is real
Providing a product that people can feel
It's all independent I don't have a deal
But I have been dependent on vices that kill
I pray that the lord has forgiven it all
I'm doing the most, proposing a toast
I'm drinking it all
Till I'm comatose
Lawd

I give you this passion
I preach to the masses
You would've never matched

A drastic change
And I can make it stop fast
Ima stop in my position when the people can't pass
With it all in the pain
This mothafucker is Manson
I still wanna die, What the fuck you really asking
I've been trying to pray
But the shit don't work
Renaissance 15
But it still don't hurt
God Damn young man
What is your self-worth
Shit I probably couldn't find it even if I looked
I take a deep breath
I set my regress
Regroup and expect
To be a reject
My pain to deflect
A moment to reflect

Wanna make sure the music is real

It's all independent I don't have a deal
