Sumthin Funky

Lover of my soul you have my trust
Grace in a hour glass for the lost ones
Love my soul when I want to let go
Lift me high through all of my yo

Lover of my soul you have my trust
Grace in a hour glass for the lost ones
My loved ones names get sent up above
Fail so many times but my story ain't done
Love my soul when I want to let go
Lift me high through all of my lows

Do what I do for Simon and Castro
I won't turn my back on God if the cash low
Ride around with my Bible on the dashboard
Used to only use that to twist dope
With a four oh high life down my throat
Now I been walking with the Lord five years strong
Me and phonies who don't keep their word don't get along
If you seen me slipping with the homies yeah I was wrong
God brings me to repentance every time I trip
I do what I do for Luis and all of them kids
Behind bars feeling like they life gone before it even start come to the dark with some hope
My goddaughter asking me about my tattoos
I squeeze my cheeks look at her and say I love you
She only three but I told her that she such a blessing
Every season in life I learn a new lesson
Thought I was done came back like Carmelo
Keep it real with you I ain't nobody special
God been so good to me I don't understand
He promised nobody can snatch me out of his hand
And I tell him all the time that I need that
Keep it G when I speak keep my seat back
Keep the funk banging through the 562
And the SGV through the 323
And I got to be set apart wherever I be
Black ice little tree hanging by my keys
Dice on the rear view I got no AC
Everywhere I go the holy ghost follows me
If I make my bed in hell He'd still be there
Never escape his presence because he's everywhere
Please don't let me destroy my own soul
Be merciful to me until my casket close

Lover of my soul you have my trust
Grace in a hour glass for the lost ones
My loved ones names get sent up above
Fail so many times but my story ain't done
Love my soul when I want to let go
Lift me high through all of my lows

I be trying to figure out where my passion went
All I used to care about was music and getting bent
Now my days all the same it would be vanity
If I wasn't saved I would not have clarity
I don't dream no more I'll work until I die
I owe it to the younger me to try one more time
I don't dream no more I just accepted this is it
I ain't trying to be famous I ain't trying to be rich
This is only for my homies like that old playlist
So I could care less if you don't bang this
Insecurities I never told nobody bout
Sometimes I skate around the city when I'm feeling down
Thinking bout when we used to walk to timeout
You know what it is when I walk here from Gunnar's house
Sneak in your garage for my mom to pick me up
I told her that's where I was but I was drinking smoking bud
The homies wanted to make it snow all over the blunt
But you know me I only keep the green in my system
Turn a zig zag and a dime to a twizzler
No zig zag no drig drag palabra
Eastside Whittier or I'm in La Habra
Sometimes I reminisce when it was all bliss
But I had bad times even back then
Up and down still now I just know how it is
Cause I been through it shaped by experience
Now my rims glisten more than my grip tape
When the love is real it's never gonna go away
Listen to the good times the trials and the pain
Everything I been through it made me who I am
When the love is real it's never gonna go away
Listen to the hard times memories and pain
Everything I been through made me who I am today

Lover of my soul you have my trust
Grace in a hour glass for the lost ones
My loved ones names get sent up above
Fail so many times but my story ain't done
Love my soul when I want to let go
Lift me high through all of my lows
