Soul to Keep

Well, let 'em catch me when I fall, so I gotta take it higher, uh

See the ice around my neck and see me walkin' through the fire, uh

So many changed on me, when I pulled up with these chains on me

I ain't never had no hand-out, now they wanna take from me

No weapon formed on me, they will not prosper

They want me six-feet deep, been through the fire

They want my soul to keep, it will not prosper

They want my soul to keep, mm, hold on (yo)

I know the truth hurts, but I will never keep it from me (no)

There wouldn't have to be a war if someone reasoned with we

'Bout to be home, he started beefin' once suspicious of me (turn)

I'm on call with a night owl to feel myself bleed (argh)

Don't ask how me how we got this different beef (turn up)

I had to poke up (shh), they wouldn't give a machine (turn up, turn up)

I could've just beat a corn and have him ripped down the street

I should've known down the line that they would've team up for me (turn)

And I mean literally 'cah that's what happened 'til they poked up MJ (told me turn)

He ain't ris' up since, I see him ris' up for me

The bros gonna know better for some kid called GP

And then Kobe died and then they're pointin' fingers at me (argh)

I still make somethin' sleep

My shorty say my smiles beautiful, she don't know I'm out with these different teeth (boy)

We had to share the same sorrows, but don't share the same morals

If I wasn't lit, they won't be pointin' triggers at me

Well, let 'em catch me when I fall, so I gotta take it higher, uh

See the ice around my neck and see me walkin' through the fire, uh

So many changed on me, when I pulled up with these chains on me

I ain't never had no hand-out, now they wanna take from me

No weapon formed on need, they will not prosper

They want me six-feet deep, been through the fire

They want my soul to keep, it will not prosper

They want my soul to keep, mm, hold on

Try spend a day in my shoes (ah)

I believe in miracles, I'm livin' proof

They wanna see you lose when you got shit to lose

Really had Trident comin' in my room

And put me in the back of the van, with a dyke, like I'm Liverpool

My box of shorts had to fit the douche

Now Louis brim, what they think? That's gonna fit me through the fittin' room?

All this music and road been gettin' difficult

How am I eatin' lobster while my niggas eatin' prison food? (Free up, free up)

In two months, I'm losin' four whole different shoes (argh)

Same time discussin' millions in a Zoom (turn)

I got my head in my head in my hands, in my living room

How am I gonna win this war? Success is gonna kill them all

Well, let 'em catch me when I fall, so I gotta take it higher, uh

See the ice around my neck and see me walkin' through the fire, uh

So many changed on me, when I pulled up with these chains on me

I ain't never had no hand-out, now they wanna take from me

No weapon formed on need, they will not prosper

They want me six-feet deep, been through the fire

They want my soul to keep, it will not prosper

They want my soul to keep, mm, hold on
