[Verse 1: ROC]
Protect ya neck, protect your soul, spit methanol
Get it chopping like a vegetable
So intellectual, don't believe me? Homie check the polls
But I ain't in it for the decimals
Conceptional, rap is my confessional
One in a milli flow, no collectibles
I be potent with the grime, serving is my pastime
Leave a knot up in your stomach like some edibles
Vibing out to the sound of Dilla beats
Climbing down from a tower build with greed
Man all my loved ones stay so proud of me
When I stepped up on the scene, mad cats was doubting me
Like, how's this kid post to be a rapper?
And he serves God to? That's a reason for laughter
He's inauthentic, boy he's just an actor
I'll buy his CD and shove it down the crapper
I'm like hold up, can you gimme a chance?
Don't discount just cuz I ain't got a trendy dance
Ain't another artist talking bout a failed romance
Or how many freakin racks I got stuffed in my pants
I'm just tryna make a couple conscious rhymes
Keeping Father God first cuz he's so sublime
I don't wanna resort to dealing packs and dimes
Strapping nines for the greenback and shine
New school boy, Imma reinvent it
Like Logic, Joey, J. Cole, and Kendrick
Claim rap, get approval from the hip hop senate
Stop gunning for the dollars, the Raris and the Prada
Ain't spitting worth nada, without any talent
Heavy is the hand that be slamming the mallet
That's why I won't sign on the dotted lines
I want more than the Bennies and the concubines
[Hook: CJ!]
Put on my headphones then
Pick up my pad, pick up my pen
And write my thoughts between the lines
This is stress relief in my life
Soulful vibes
That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me
Soulful Vibe
That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me
[Verse 2: Melly Mel tha Kidd]
Always searching for clues of happiness
Day and night, I'm excluded, imagine if
You were stagnant
In moods construed as “lacking this”
When I try to locate my protagonist
I find myself put back in that abyss, that's inadequate
I'm an addict for wishing for lavishness
Still testing life's challenges
Like is that asking too much to be counted with?
The respect, the greatness surpa**ing this
Type of life? All my life I been traveling
Through my thoughts in my mind I been battling
Inner me be the savageness
Carrying grief when my heart is deceived
The other side sees
No profit in beef so I just turn a cheek
And that's what I tell myself
Even though I don't know inside
Chasing dreams till I see a way
And this hard work is gon provide
Well even if this leads to nothing
And all this rapping's just a waste of time
I make music as a stress relieve
Melly Mel with the soulful vibes
I said, yeah that's what I tell myself
Even though I don't know inside
Chasing dreams till I see a way
And this hard work is gon provide
Well even if this leads to nothing
And all this rapping's just a waste of time
I make music as a stress relieve
Melly Mel with the soulful vibes
[Hook: CJ!]
Put on my headphones then
Pick up my pad, pick up my pen
And write my thoughts between the lines
This is stress relief in my life
Soulful vibes
That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me
Soulful Vibe
That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me
[Verse 3: ROC]
Peep game as I strike with deep aim
Devouring this track ain't finna refrain
Ricochet through the haze, set the tapes ablaze
It's like a maze, gaze upon this great display
Portrayed, now, without a single facade
Without a mirage, or case of mistaken identity
Credibility in my vicinity
Enemies fearing me, lyrically, I'm on a k**ing streak
Experimental flow, that's just how it goes
Tryna change it up a little so I ain't so so
Oh no, taking photos with a GoPro
Homegrown, no solo dolo
Honestly I don't know what I'm saying
I'm just playing around, rap is like my playground
209 Motown, quite profound
Wear the wrong color, they might gun you down
Hit the floor, deck you like the Inspectah
Dictionary word collector
Rhyme ejector, poetry roots protector
Y'all sweet like some tulip nectar
Repping that Eternally Graceful Entertainment
Saving souls, we complacent
We adjacent to Christ fam, never Satan
That s**a can cop this ailment
Set it off like a Mac 11, pow
Raw material, unleavened, wow
Keep it cla**ic like shell toe Adidas
And I ain't ever charging for a feature
Got a couple pockets full of raps, you know I'm tryna strive
To make this my nine to five
So I lift his name up when the day gets rough
Cuz we all know God provides
