SOUL
(Verse 1)
Now I’m addressing the soul, you know I’m not cold
Feeling between mankind, that’s my only goal
It’s very easy to be tough, to play it rough
Make a weapon of your very own and be the hot stuff
Shucks, you make bucks and then the neighbourhood rocks
Then, my!, the funds are gone and you’re stuck so bad
With poverty, confusion, depression
Huh, star, you just suffered a degration
So what do you do? You buy a heavy tool, join a gang
You wanna rule, wanna pull face with a bang
You’re puny, you want money
To please honey, spoil sonny and find it all so funny
But you’re killing your conscience, destroying your soul
You mole, your role in life is as a slave to gold
You better scratch your ways and scrap being so macho
Or sooner or later Nemesis is a catch you in the act
As cops or someone out for revenge
And then the close pal, Death, says that’s the end, my friend
Or worse, you’re cursed in court and you nurse the jail
And life flows like a snail, so now you know you’ve failed
Yo, I see you wondering bout the things I said
Good, think about it, the body’s dead
Pay attention to the session going on in your soul
Full control of the soul is the sole goal and that alone
Is enough to erase the violence
Cleanse the science, give peace a license
So open your heart and let the light shine through
Cause the soul’s that magic-filled bowl that’s got the power in you
(CHORUS)
It takes much more than people think ...... (think about it...)
To pull ourselves back from the brink
Of that stage called death in life
And the time’s now rife to set things aright
There’s something that resides inside
Neglected as we live our lives
Something with the power to turn the tides
And it’s in the Soul...
(Verse 2)
Thinking bout that? Well chew upon this
Thinking is for those who don’t know how to feel
Feeling for those, for whom thinking’s not for real
Collect your rage and wage war on the floor
For my galore, you rock, I score
I ooze when I use the microphone
Control, full power, and the mike is blown
Know why? Cause I don’t just rap for fame
I do it for the things that I’d like us to change
Unrest and unease, a man’s got no peace
Deceit and desease threaten to freeze
The man of today into a soulless colder soldier
Yo man I just toldja
So resist desist from the least propaganda
Hands are made of slander and a
Keep away from me if all you want is to please me, huh
Cause then I’m trapped, so please release me before you crease me
Cause then you’ve gotta grease me, ease me and breeze me
But I don’t want that, I just wanna be pat
I’m not social, rep or democrat
Don’t bust it, trust it, don’t let it get crusted
Before you have lost it, better pick it and dust it
Like an old unused book with the power of Zeus
Man the soul’s that dynamo that’s got the power in you
(CHORUS)
It takes much more than people think ... (check this out...)
To pull ourselves back from the brink... (listen to me...)
Of that stage called death in life
And the time’s now rife to set things aright
There’s something that resides inside... (that’s your flame, boy)
Neglected as we live our lives... (that’s your name, girl...)
Something with the power to turn the tides... (it’s who you are, it’s the fire of your soul)
And it’s in the Soul... (it’s the light within you, the light in the soul...)
(Verse 3)
Check it out
Some rich, some poor, some low, some high
But in the end everyone’s a die
Simple and plain, there’s gotta be something more to life
Than just the struggle, the strain
To stay on top or to climb to the top
Any which way possible and drop the fallible
Well, Stop! And listen to the words of my pop
The beat is hiphop but the lines are like a mop
Wiping clean all the grim grime, all the slime off your hide
If this one time you open your mind
And let the true you for once play a part in life
And life’ll have a different hue, new and rife
Get your act together and don’t be askew
You can do it cause I can and I ain’t no better than you
The cue, your few instincts, inspiraions
Don’t put them in probabtion, cause that stinks
And verily I tell thee, the end’s at hand and it’s bland
But we still stand a chance if we get bold
And all fear nothing
Shame, pain or death and yo I ain’t bluffing
Or stuffing you up with crap, instead I’m offering the knowledge
That hated is death, now who wants to be a coffin?
Not you, not me, but incidentally
We’re mentally defused and psychologically used
But the end’s not over yet, don’t get sober
Let the soul in you turn controller
Fret not but still don’t slide and be a lazylot
Think a lot and if it’s hard, my words can help a lot
So take em in easy, don’t get sleazy or maybe teasy
Cause teasing is a weakness that’ll freeze ye
It’s all you’ve got, you’ve got to start to let it unfold
You know I’m talking bout the funk in your soul
(CHORUS)
It takes much more than people think... (funked up soul...)
To bring ourselves back from the brink... (yeah...)
Of that stage called death in life... (just talking bout being a good human being on earth, you know...)
And the time’s now rife to set things aright... (you can have all the fun you want, you can do anything you want, but just be a good person...)
There’s something that resides inside... (strive for that light with every ounce of strength you’ve got within you...)
Neglected as we live our lives... (human being...)
Something with the power to turn the tides ... (cause deep within your soul is a light...)
And it’s in the Soul... (the light of your spirit...)
(yeah...)
