Souls of Mischief, 88rising

1999 'n from the Bay down to LA

Up in Oakland, they don't play 'round where we stay

You just can't hang out every day

Hater's with K'ters got 'em sangin' when they spray

Just be careful when you're saying what you say

I pray for all of us

All persons in my circle are certain that they can call on Plus

Seeing people hurting in the streets

I wish that we could all adjust

But the laws for us are far from just

Seems to be taking so long for us

But Plus?

I'm gonna reach the goals that I set up

Vibing to reach your souls and not let up

Rhyming over beats, in the zone with my brothers

Even when you know what's coming, the horizon is so surprising

Of my rhyming, ain't no denyin'

All my diss counts I'm still 'gone apply 'em

My and my pirates cook in the Pyrex

A metaphor for mic checks

I'm happily collecting my checks

And after we check-in we fly next

We're glad to see ya, Africa to Indonesia and

Anywhere in between we mash it up, now dem BELIEVERS

It's the rare airborne rangers world famous

Dangerous as the San Andreas Fault on bargain basement angel dust

Acquired the taste so they swiping the slang a

Permanent wave and ultraviolet rays

Anticulture lying to ya face like crime it pays

Federal case

Minimum wage is criminal in this Digital Silicon haze maze

Feel like a slave invisible chains on the chain gang fame came

Danced like a wild untamed flame

Penning the pain yin and the yang

She came and drained the main vein dang water rafting

Rhyme wasn't really designed to get a diamond

But I'm in the prime, so I'm a rip lining

Lime in the coconut vibin' on the island

Nodding but woke 'em off automatic pilot

Through the third eyelid truth unfurl in the

World I live interspersed in a verse I spit

Curse with the gift kaleidoscope

Slippery sliding slope

Through the clarity found in a resonant sound

We try to cope they giving you a lotta rope it's

Not a joke to sell your body and soul for a pot of gold, body blow

Paid the tax greatest raps on wax it's Souls in fact

Got the needle on the phonograph

Screaming jumping Jehoshaphat

Couldn't hold 'em back I was over

the moon anywhere on the map I'm chosen

Rollin' wit the mob we sold out shows that's not a drop in the ocean

Big things poppin' got hella motion never gonna stop East Oakland

I'm jet propelling past the glass ceiling like the mad villain potion

Broke the mold with devotion keep it

in my heart when I start the commotion

Put it in my art the arsenal blows 'em

away and I start with the ultimate break

Beats gotta make doe when I sleep

when I count sheep they bounce to my heat

I was outside eyes wide open hit the

cruise control then I'm west coastin'

I'm overwhelmed with emotions

The ups and downs lost hopes and ambition

Man listen

Gotta have plans, be exact, use precision

Part of me wanna be livin' to start the

beginning and given a chance to amend it

I thought I was slippin the heart of a

sinner I'm just a product the lawless agenda

It's hard to pretend that we all not afflicted corrupted within us

Brought to redemption by thoughts of repentance

Not our intention

I'm reinvented

Grateful I lived it

Imagine your dream coming true, actually seeing something through

Scanning the scene and scheming and scamming and

plotting and planning until your planted seed come to fruit

Imagine busting every move,

never accepting "no" nah 'cause you're exceptional

And your vision has a hold that won't let

you go, every step that you take is intentional

In the direction of an objective for

which you feel a real love, unconditional

Unconventional,

I know but the ember still glows, even when the fire gets real low

Might have to give it a lil' blow, find you some tinder to build on

Find you some kin to fulfill roles, you know steel sharpens steel

Align it with them and then build more

Imagine believing in magic,

weaving a fabric so fantastic everybody wanna have it

A marvelous garment,

made up of your triumphs and hardships, just gorgeous

And it's more than enough to go 'round

whether it's now or on another go 'round

And the masses await the atelier to throw down

Imagine traveling so rapidly that you manage to wrap this

tapestry in all its majesty around the whole planet to bask in

And share in each other's warmth

Then you understand what the love is for

That's how it feels when you

crafting a classic, this ain't just rapping
