Ab-Soul

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]

Back when I first grabbed that pen

I told myself I was gon' win

And I ain't know when

But it was gon' end

Up happening, I want in


So you can take your top 5 list

Dead or alive and put me after Em


I'm a fucking genius

Gripping my fucking penis, living this life

You can't tell me nothing

Still ain't really got no money fucking right

I'm all about that real, about that real

This ain't no motion picture

I tell you how that feel, how that feel

Even when the odds against you

They wanna see me wearing Polo drawers

Put 2 chains on and that ain't wrong

But that ain't me, I go too damn hard

I don't need clothes or jewelry to stand out

Black lip nigga with his hair wild

Too damn proud

Been killing this since Cam made Oh Boy

Oh boy, I'm the man now

TDE, put the money in my hand ain't shit free

This business is quick sand and I won't sink

Put the pistol in my hand and I won't think

Rest in peace, you just made room for the next to be

I never been afraid to say what I wanna say when I wanna say it, okay then

Further more we do this for y'all

Rap is stressin' but it pays great

That is until you lose appeal

And your release date gets date raped

Stay safe, hold your head

I got two fifth and a loaf of bread

Feed the people, food for thought

Because we are equal, who'd have thought


[Hook: Ab-Soul & Kendrick]

They wanna share my light (Repeat x8)

You can have all my shine, I'll give you the light (Repeat x2)


[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]

I used to wanna rap like Jay-Z

Now I feel I could run laps around Jay-Z

Nas ain't seen nothing this nasty

B.I.G. & Pac got it coming when I pass too

You got the mic, I ain't the one you wanna pass to


My niggas say my new shit past due

I paid dues, even got that shit tattooed

HiiiPoWeR on another plateau

I know you know we need a few plaques too

The brand new niggas with a attitude

Poppin' Compton or Timbuktu

I might even sell my new shit for 10 bucks too

Too ill when I jot these words

True eel when I shock the world

I know life's a bitch

When you know life's a bitch and that's not your girl

Cold shit, I'm hot though

Like coal get, Ab-Soul

This is a shift in paradigm

I remember when I couldn't spare a dime

Now I step in with a pair of dimes

On P's, y'all know me

Flow like water, admiralty

The best author ever to breathe

And as we proceed to follow these dreams

I ain't losing no sleep

No, no at them no doors

Just know No if it's no dough

So high but I'm Soulo

Two cups and I sip slow

Taking my time

We don't just shine, we illuminate the whole show

Now let's go


[Hook]


[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

Time and time I drop line for line

But only time will tell

If I ever go Columbine

And cop 30 nines and cock back and kill

See the truth is

They wanna know how close me and Dre and Snoop is

Or how the shoe fits when they choose this to beat 2Pac

But truth I give two shits 'bout

Expectations or critics hating

Shit, I just put moms on vacation

Bitch you never know my new location, it's across nations

Court cases get thrown out

So tell the motherfucking King dethrone now

I am ruler, I am highness

The Prince Zamunda

I am the shit like what the prune does

Black on black tint like Kinta Kunta

Black is back bitch I'm kin to coup de

Black on black crime resent the shooter

Blat, blat, blat, I intend to mute you

Racks on racks, I don't rap on tracks

Without my A-game so please don't ask

Me about no pressure

Bitch with a grip of my fingertip

I can hold this coast together


[Hook]
