Uh

Protect ya neck, protect your soul, spit methanol

Get it choppin′ like a vegetableSo intellectual, don't believe me? Homie check the polls

But I ain′t in it for the decimals

Conceptional, rap is my confessional

One in a milli flow, no collectibles

I be potent with the grime, servin' is my pastime

Leave a knot up in your stomach like some edibles

Vibin' out to the sound of Dilla beats

Climbin′ down from a tower build with greed

Man all my loved ones stay so proud of me

But when I stepped up on the scene, mad cats was doubting me

Like, how′s this kid post to be a rapper?

And he serve Jah too? That's a reason for laughter

He′s inauthentic, boy he's just an actor

I′ll buy his CD and shove it down the crapper

I'm like hold up, can you give a chance?

Don′t discard just 'cuz I ain't got a trendy dance

I ain′t another artist talking ′bout a failed romance

Or how many freakin' racks I got stuffed in my pants

I′m just tryna make a couple conscious rhymes

Always keeping Jah first 'cuz he′s so sublime

I don't wanna resort to dealin′ packs and dimes

Strappin' nines for the greenback and shine

New school boy, I'mma reinvent it

Like Joey, Earl, J. Cole, and Kendrick

Claim rap, get approval from the hip hop senate

Stop gunnin′ for the dollars, the ′raris and the Prada

Ain't spitting worth nada, without any talent

Heavy is the hand that be slammin′ the mallet

That's why I won′t sign on the dotted lines

I want more than the bennies and the concubines

Put on my headphones then

Pick up my pad, pick up my pen

And write my thoughts between the lines

This is stress relief in my life

Soulful vibes

That's what′s inside, that's what's inside of me

Soulful vibes

That′s what′s inside, that's what′s inside of me

Always searchin' for clues of happiness

Day and night, I′m excluded, imagine if

You were stagnant

In moods construed as "lackin' this"

When I try to locate my protagonist

I find myself put back in that abyss, that′s inadequate

I'm an addict for wishin' for lavishness

Still testin′ life′s challenges

Like is that askin' too much to be counted with?

The respect, the greatness surpassin′ this

Type of life? All my life I've been travelin′

Through my thoughts in my mind I've been battlin′

Half of me be the savageness

Carryin' grief when my heart is deceived

The other side sees

No profit in beef so I just turn a cheek

I am soul like afros on black women

I am soul like Pharaoh's Egyptians

I am soul like mac n′ cheese, chicken with collard greens

Corn on the cob and beans for dinner

I feel like y′all not seein' my vision

I′m tryna sell my story to a colosseum of tickets

Heed how I'm livin′, notice I don't feed off attention

Drivin′ through my life with the speed of ambition

Yeah that's what I tell myself

Even though I don't know inside

Chasin′ dreams ′til I see a way

And this hard work is gon' provide

Well even if this leads to nothin′

And all this rappin's just a waste of time

I make music as a stress relieve

Melly Mel with the soulful vibes

Put on my headphones then

Pick up my pad, pick up my pen

And write my thoughts between the lines

This is stress relief in my life

Soulful vibes

That′s what's inside, that′s what's inside of me

Soulful vibes

That's what′s inside, that′s what's inside of me

Peep game as I strike with deep aim

Devourin′ this track ain't finna refrain

Ricochet through the haze, set the tapes ablaze

It′s like a maze, gaze upon this great display

Portrayed, now, without a facade

Without a mirage, or case of mistaken identity

Credibility in my vicinity

Enemies fearing me, lyrically, I'm on a killin′ streak

Experimental flow, that's just how it goes

Tryna change it up a little so I ain't so so

Oh no, taking photos with a GoPro

Homegrown, no solo dolo (What?)

Honestly I don′t know what I′m saying

I'm just playing around, rap is like my playground

209 Motown, quite profound

Wear the wrong colors, they might gun you pros down

Hit the floor, deck you like the Inspectah

Dictionary word collector

Rhyme ejector, poetry roots protector

Y′all sweet like some tulip nectar

Homie it's Kill The Mic here for your entertainment

Touching souls, we complacent

We adjacent to Jah Jah, never Satan

That sucka can cop this ailment

Set it off like a Mac 11, (Pow)

Raw material, unleavened (Wow)

Keep it classic like shell toe Adidas

And I ain′t ever chargin' for a feature

Got a couple pockets full of raps, you know I′m tryna strive

To make this my nine to five

So I lift my head up when the day gets rough

Cuz we all know Jah provide

Soulful vibes

That's what's inside, that′s what′s inside of me

Soulful vibes

That's what′s inside, that's what′s inside of me
