The Soul - Pt. 2

Ayy-yay

Soul

REASON

Yeah, one two, one two, one two

Yeah, yeah

Look (look)

In a world full of talented talent, there's still beginners

We work to stand out, it panned out, we became them niggas

Team of Avengers, ironic, showed up with vision

Hard work and persistence, look, REASON that definition

I came for it, shit was in mind, mentally inkin' my name on it

Put the pride to the side, niggas had vision and stayed on it

Fuck if the fame on it, this love, nigga

Made it out without havin' to be a thug nigga

Smellin' nicotine, codeine, killers and drug dealers

'Came accustomed to it, mix that with direction

We created struggle music, so when Murphy's Law kicked in

Get grittin', we hustle through it, this real nigga, the feelin' different

Never told a pair of lies, crazy, I don't feel niggas

Back next to the wall, transform, and I Bradley Beal niggas (nigga)

Shoot through it like Duke Nukem with mills

Pictures painted of forgotten times

Sittin' on some bars, let 'em starve

Now they're writin' lines, I been sick with it (uh)

Script flippin' more than promiscuous thick women (uh)

So, please, don't compare me to niggas, this shit different

REASON rather be mentioned with 'Pac and the big niggas

Rest in peace, nigga, no frontin', do it for the soul of it

Niggas used to tell me I was aimin' too high

Shad Moss niggas only claimin' they fly

This is Bruce Wayne spirit, starin' Bane in his eyes

Carson up on the rise, nigga, this ain't a surprise

Soul

Hey

I think you niggas had me fucked up for waitin' so long

In turn we need it now when the patience is on

I feel like Scott Summers when the lasers is on

I see everything red and everything dead and everything scared

I sat and spoke to Dot, and I listened to everything said

I mean everything

So much that when it's not said I hear it

Like, when the nigga laughed, I heard him mock a nigga spirit

Like, "You'll never get there", well now

Look, I'm on top and I'm near it (so near it, so close, so close)

In other words I tricked myself to stay famished

But be humble and take balance, repetitive, I need challenge

I need you new niggas to please do somethin' to excite a nigga

Get in their brain or just say somethin' to spite a nigga

Shit, 'cause I been gettin' bored (bored)

Just chillin', throwin' darts at the wall

Dreamin' of the GOATs and how my name not involved

I'm havin' issues with that, what issues?

I'm havin' issues 'cause I ain't finished

I'm havin' issues 'cause I'm stell repentin'

I'm havin' issues 'cause I'm still a nigga

I'm havin' issues 'cause Musa King keep preachin'

You can't move around solo no more, you gettin' bigger

Yeah, I been gettin' bigger

So much bigger than my ego see my body

And it's strugglin' to fit up in it

Top screamin', "Patience my nigga"

But this industry keep playin' with a nigga, I see y'all playin'

See jokes about South Africa REASON, now it seem real

See jokes about how I'm not really with Top and I'm with Dreamville

Niggas pronounce my name wrong, tell me that I ain't did much

See y'all mistake my name for Logic's, y'all got me fucked up

How you compare a nigga that take from the culture

Verse a nigga that's for it? This shit gettin' borin'

My limits are soarin', the industry's snorin'

Leave my city? Nah nigga, I'm here to restore it

I'm here to explore it, I'm nip to the core

I'm not finna forfeit, I'm not, shh

I'm not gon' have my block lookin' foreign

You see my name nigga, you're not gonna ignore it

You're not gonna ignore it

My pockets is hurtin', I'm constantly workin'

My mom in the hood but she don't deserve it

I do this for the soul of it

Ain'tscared of layin' in dirt, nigga, we rose from it

The game is mine, it's not yours, like nose runnin'

Swag drippin' like water

It's ironic how these hoes run into a nigga

This ain't a game, this is a scrimmage and I kill it time after time

This shit feelin' reminiscin', line after line

This shit feelin' like petition, still homies dyin'

This shit feelin' like a sickness

Ain't like none of these other niggas, I'm different

Say somethin' 'bout the cappin' nigga, I'm trippin'

REASON the new soldier in front, tryna leave his brand broken

It ain't gon' end how you want, soul
