"Tortured Souls" - Prod. Ka-Flame
[Intro - Flame Speaks:]
Yea I'ma call this one here - Tortured Souls -
For the ones who know that we're in the midst of war
Hell - even the sample sounds like its Crying out in Pain...
[Hook:]
Trapped inside this Gutta - trying to break Free/
Let me tell you - Why these Mothaf**ers Hate Me/
I Keep it RAW - Keep it REAL - talking straight "G"/
Locked up in the Lab - All Day - just to make beats/...
(I've been)...
Trapped inside this Gutta - trying to break Free/
Let me tell you - Why these Mothaf**ers Hate Me/
I Keep it RAW - Keep it REAL - talking straight "G"/
Locked up in the Lab...
[1st verse:]
I Had a Team full of Homies -
But They Eased Off/
"And Nah it Ain't No Beef" - but you know -
Thats how these Streets Talk/
Say they WOKE? - Thats a Joke! -
These Folks just like to Sleep Walk/
Rest in Peace - to Each and every Real One -
That we done lost/
Deep in Thought - trying to keep
{My People} off them Drugs/
Its MORE to Life - than Turning up -
Deep off in these Clubs!/
They speaking bout a "Plug" -
Till they Running from some Thugs/
Gunning with them Slugs -
Yea it Is - What it Was/
Steady moving trying to Shove -
This Product I Provide/
Sell it for the Cheap -
But Ain't too many People Buy it/
For them Dollars n***as Died -
Chasing G'walla on the side/
Shawty Popping Pills just to -
Swallow all her Pride/
Packing all them Pistols -
In Impala's that we Ride/
Don't think its Impossible -
To Pop up Where ya Hide/
To Stop Us?! - Yea they tried -
But they Failed Once Again!/
You think this Ain't Hell?! - but You can Tell -
Once you've been!/...Real Talk...

[2nd verse:]
I've come to Terms with it Now -
Thats the Way it Be/
Tired of trying to" WAKE EM' UP" -
They Can Stay Asleep/
I been Dealing with this Pain -
Since 83'/
So you know - It Ain't a Thang -
You can Say to Me/
Walk a Mile in my shoes -
We can Talk/
But you'll Probably get Confused -
Or End up Lost!/
I'm talking bout this Path I'm on -
Really Been a Battle/
Imagine Hitch Hiking -
On the Road Less Traveled!/
Unraveled All the Mysteries -
But [They] Don't want to Hear it/
Tapped Inside the Essence -
Now its messing with my Spirit/
Clearly I was TORTURED -
But I found my Inner Peace/
My Frequency is Higher -
Can't deny - it done Increased/
Middle Fingers to Police -
"Can't you SEE that {We're} in PAIN?!?!"/
I Still CAN'T Believe -
How [They] did Korryn Gaines!/
Hunt {US} every month -
And [They're] Eating us at Night/
Thats WHY - She did the Vampire Theory -
Clearly - [They] Want a Bite/...
