Lyrics
(Mm, mm-mm-mm, yeah)
(God, I know my)
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
(Baby, baby now)
(Mm, mm-mm-mm, yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Baby, baby now)
Yeah, uh
This is for my seven day a week
Always on they grind **** (Yeah)
Sacrifice it all
Just so we can shine ****, uh
Takin' care of their kids
On that 9 to 5, ****
I made this here for you
'Cause you all my ****
Now I don't stress over these hoes
I obsess over these flows
I may as well be Messi
'Cause I got so many goals
And I gotta reach 'em all
Like I'm Ash Ketchum
'Cause in this life you get one shot
And this my last second
Now watch me pass go (Oh)
Get my dough (Oh)
Break my daddy out of jail
(Oh, oh, oh)
Buy my mama a new house
Somewhere in the Berkeley Hills
Take my **** 'cross the world
(Ay, ay, ay)
Then come back and pay my bills
(Ay, ay, ay)
Level up on everybody and remain real
See don't let 'em take your soul
Take your soul, goddamn
Better fight it
And don't let 'em make you fold, goddamn
(Hey)
Break the mold, goddamn
Break the mold, goddamn
Don't let 'em take your soul
Take your soul, goddamn
(Hey)
Said, don't let 'em take your soul, uh
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I said, don't let 'em take your soul, yeah
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I said don't let 'em take your soul, uh
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I said don't let 'em your, uh
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, oh)
This is for my day one, ride or die
Free the ankle **** (Huh)
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
Used to have to spam
And eat cup noodles for dinner, uh
Hit my mama house
To do my laundry in the winter (Yeah)
Still on my auntie couch
But I'm gonna get out in a minute, ya
We was on that block tryna make a way
Make a way out
Granny died
Had to tell my mama, it's okay now
What you know
About no lights and cold water at 16
And no car to drive when you got a girl
But you still chasing a dream?
And you grown as fuck and they tell you
To get a job and quit playing
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
And your bank account is so immature
'Cause that shit ain't got no cents
And every **** 'round your city
Hate on you just for being yourself
But you can't stop and you won't stop
You just tighten up your belt
See don't let 'em take your soul
Take your soul, goddamn
Better fight it
And don't let 'em make you fold, goddamn
(Hey)
Break the mold, goddamn
Break the mold, goddamn
Don't let 'em take your soul
Take your soul, goddamn
(Hey)
Said, don't let 'em take your soul, damn
I said, don't let 'em take your soul
Take your soul, god (Hey)
I said don't let 'em take your soul, yeah
(Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
I said don't let 'em take your soul
Goddamn
(Hey)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hey)
When I'm alone with the music
Tucked away somewhere secluded
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
Is when I'm at my best
To my family and friends
Don't want ya'll to confuse it
(Hey)
I love ya'll way too much
Ya'll the reason why I do this
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
Got hopes of being paid soon
Fuck fame, it's not the coolest
(Hey)
Well actually, it had me grappled
Tryna hang out with whack rappers
And take pictures for the Gram
Like I had to prove it really happened
(Hey)
Like a approval from the next man
The next girl actually matters
I like to boo then, think of myself
Opinions are just like atoms
I know they everywhere
But I just can't see 'em
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
So, why do your expectations matter
When I just can't reach them?
My soul been a slave to the game
I think I just might free it
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
Fuck all that copy, paste rap
Now it's just me and my demons
(Hey)
Fuck tryna fit into a playlist
Won't play myself for no payment
**** need songs for their soul
Not just lyrics they can say back
(Hey)
So, I'm gonna reinforce the frill
Free their spirit with the real
And if you hate me, that's okay
Channels show me I don't need a deal
(Hey)
I never needed your approval
I just needed Craig Lucas to play me
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
And say, goddamn man
That boy there is the truth
(Hey)
This is nothing like the usual
This is far more crucial
(Mm, mm-mm-mm)
Rather walk to success
Instead of tryna take that Uber, yeah
(Hey)
Yeah
(Hey)
(Hey)
