Soul Like Khan
Soul Khan Lyrics

I'm a hell of a geek with intelligent speech
I may not fit the typical image of a rapper as a geek, but I take pride in my intelligence and the way I express myself through my music.

Small time but my skills will embellish my reach
Even though I am not yet a big name in the music industry, I know that my talent and hard work will eventually help me reach my goals.

Fuck the upscale life and the elegant eats
I don't need fancy things or high-class experiences to feel fulfilled or successful in life.

Just a grilled cheese and French fries and tell me it's cheap
I am satisfied with simple pleasures, like a basic meal that doesn't cost much money.

Apollo creed with a plate of collard greens
Just like Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies, I am a proud and strong individual who values my heritage and cultural traditions, such as eating collard greens.

Trying to separate the good and bad from my father's genes
Although I have some negative traits from my father, I am striving to focus on the positive aspects of myself and overcome the challenges I face.

Though the better part of me should bury the past
While it would be easier to forget about my difficult upbringing and negative experiences, I recognize that facing and processing them is necessary for personal growth and healing.

I can't forget the sweat of the woman that carried his ass
I will always appreciate and remember the hard work and sacrifice of my mother, who raised me alone and provided for our family despite my father's lack of involvement.

She saved and scraped while he was still jobless
My mother worked hard and saved money while my father was unemployed, showing her strength and dedication to our family.

She gave us faith while he was still godless
Even though my father was not religious or spiritually inclined, my mother instilled a sense of faith and hope within us.

She made mistakes but still remained modest
Despite any flaws or missteps, my mother never lost her humility or down-to-earth nature.

While he straight escaped while we were unconscious
My father abandoned our family without a second thought or any explanation, leaving us vulnerable and alone.

So now I fear nothing except maybe becoming
Having experienced so much hardship and struggle, I feel prepared to face any challenge, except for the idea of becoming like my father.

The man that made me and then left like it was nothing
My father played a significant role in my life by conceiving me, but he abandoned us without any regard or explanation, leaving me with feelings of abandonment and resentment.

A boy shouldn't ever have to be so grown
As a child, I had to mature and take on responsibility far beyond what is typical or fair for a young boy.

But when daddy ain't a daddy, got to be your own
Without a strong male figure in my life, I had to figure out how to navigate the world and become my own person.

I ain't the kind of man to hold my tongue
I am a bold and outspoken individual who is not afraid to say what I think or express myself honestly.

But sometimes I'm the only one
Even when others may not agree or understand, I feel compelled to speak my truth and stand up for what I believe in.

Even if you've been where I'm from
Despite anyone else's shared experiences, nobody can truly comprehend the unique struggles and challenges I faced in my personal life and upbringing.

You'll never know a soul like khan
I am a unique and complex individual with a distinctive personality and life story that cannot be replicated or fully understood by anyone else.

I might sleep on that gravy train
Despite my talent and ambitions, I am not yet making a lot of money or achieving huge success in the music industry.

But best believe I'm gonna stay the same
Regardless of whether I achieve mainstream success or make a lot of money, I am committed to staying true to who I am and my values.

And y'all can eat off the weight I gain
Even if I am not experiencing huge commercial success, I know that my music and words can still provide value and inspiration to others.

I throw a penny in the well without wishing
I perform small acts of kindness or generosity without any expectation or specific outcome in mind.

In hopes that it floats with another's ambition
By being a positive influence or setting an example, I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams and work hard for what they want.

I was always told that small change is still change
Even small actions or efforts can make a difference and have a positive impact on someone else's life.

Caked up or broke down, y'all pain is still pain
Regardless of a person's financial status or circumstances, everyone experiences pain and struggles that are valid and worthy of recognition.

I fall in love as easily as breathing
As a passionate and emotional individual, I am prone to falling in love and forming strong connections with others.

They feel it for a minute, too, but leave me in a season
Although I may form intense connections and emotions with others, those feelings are not always mutual or long-lasting.

I've been dropped in the autumn, frozen out in winter
Like the changing seasons, my life and relationships have had their ups and downs, including rejection and feelings of isolation.

Outgrown in the spring, and in summer burnt to cinders
Even when things seem to be going well or looking up, they can still come crashing down and end in disappointment or destruction.

I poke my nose where it doesn't belong
I am curious and assertive, not afraid to explore new experiences or ideas even if they may be unconventional or unpopular.

In your life, in your speakers, or the front of a thong
My words and presence can be felt and experienced in a variety of ways, from my music to my personal relationships to more unconventional contexts.

We all got some skeletons under our lawn
Everybody has their own hidden secrets or dark past that they may try to hide or bury.

And my bones poke out so my shovel's a song
As an artist, I use my music and lyrics to process and express my own experiences and emotions, including the difficult or painful ones.

I crack a joke at a sucker's expense
I have a sense of humor and can make light of difficult situations or people without being mean-spirited or cruel.

But he's just another dude trying to cover the rent
I recognize that everyone is trying to make a living and support themselves or their families, and I do not judge or look down on people for their circumstances.

And who am I to judge? I'm a god damned mess
Despite my talents and strengths, I still have flaws and make mistakes, and I am not in a position to judge or criticize others for their shortcomings.

But if y'all still listening, I'm god damned blessed
Even with all my imperfections, I feel fortunate to have a platform and audience who appreciate and connect with my music and message.
