Good Soul

We gotta do it a little bit differently

I can feel the vibe changing in the air right now hope it's not for too long
I been waiting for a while to grab life and now I got it but I can't hold on
And the sun, and the stars
Don't compare to who you are
When it rains, wherever you are
Hope you have an umbrella

I had a good soul
Do all good people die young for being foot soldiers
I see my brodie hurtin' I can't even look over
Till I got it taken care of and we pushed closer
And Ima' keep it real sometimes I may not know the way
Drop down to my knees and hope I make another day
Never been the one to really ever care bout what they say
Tryna' make it in I gotta leave that gutta at the gate
But anyways yo how you been dog tell me
What you up to?
I remember everything you said you woulda' stuck to
Ain't no accountability in the streets besides don't snitch
Then everybody crying when that body in a ditch
But who really keepin' it real
Who really know the way
Drop down to my knees and hope I make another day
Sometimes I think If I die can I still hear what people say
Grandma want me make it in so that she know I'll be ok
'Cuz she know I had good soul
She told me never let the world take it over
Staring at my plate so long and now that steak got colder
Been in my head so much tryna figure how to fake composure
'Cuz I know the world gotta see me smile another day
Deeper words so you know it's not for play
Heavy feelings in me ion know how much they weigh
If it was my last day here what would I say?
I probably woulda grabbed that phone and told my dog that I'm pulling up
Been a few years since I gave my sis a hug
Woulda' pulled up on my shorty then I'd look her in the eye
and say you everything I need and that I love you till I die
I would live a life of love instead dealing with the stress
Woulda' told my mama that I know she did her best
If God wasn't watchin' over me I know I'd be a mess
And I been tryna find the words to get these feelings off my chest
Because I know I got a good soul
And I know I could die young for being a foot soldier
Long as my purpose served yea then I got all the closure
Every end starts something new just like a roller coaster
Up and down round and round through the hoolahoops of life
Sticks and stones might break some bones but words be cutting like a knife
Ain't never scared of change already know I'd roll the dice
Cookie crumble where it fall and I just gotta pay the price but I been ready all night 'cuz lord knows

I can feel the vibe changing in the air right now hope it's not for too long
I been waiting for a while to grab life and now I got it but I can't hold on
And the sun, and the stars
Don't compare to who you are
When it rains, wherever you are
Hope you have an umbrella
