Hopathology - Family Matters lyrics

(chrous) I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul (verse) If I die I hope my mama read the eulogy Moving away from the people that be using me But the truth is we all summon our fears For things looking for crutches past of hurtful memories I can't complain I didn't grow up in poverty Them meals was always on the table Thank my mother for them talks when I wasn't able Thank God I never felt the feeling of having no a father figure Thinking if he wasn't there to teach a honest living I'll prolly be in the streets I'm known to block my hearing See my thoughts climb my way out that terrible feeling I'm the master of my fate master of my soul I had a feeling of spitting raps since I was 12 years old Back then you had to be bold to rap a bar Those were considered gangsters in that hooptie car I had the confidence back then I was more focused on drinking gin in hotel room Couple girls me and my friends They called the our click the crew Because of what we did was nothing short of new Trending topic of whole f**ing school We was jocks had them shorties on our jocks Check clock by 12 I got to make curfew If I miss once more I'd die according to what dad said He'd hang me from a tower for every hour I'll never forget my punishment 72 days locked up Taught me a valuable lesson in life to follow orders I hope to teach my daughter The struggle of law and order With her I know I can't be lenient I'm a hand full and she give me 10 With every ounce in my veins Ima maintain Now I understand it take a village and Im privileged to Have my parents in grateful image I pray to instill at least half of what they did for me Is it possible to write a book of what to teach Well let me take a look I'm a hero gone defeat all these evil crooks I'm a hook stuck deep in ya nanny shook History repeats itself I walk a thin line Cause the color of my skin is you ignorant Man we living in sin we all kin It's only one spirit It's on one human It's only one group of people if we make it that But we so stuck up in ourselves I'm just speaks facts Gimme this gimmie that What if gimmie black I put my brain in these bars I'm just giving back Yo we wouldn't know love if it was staring back All I hear is hate In the media Social media We all got a voice but some of y'all horse Tryna look cool in the the nations eye Everybody want a slice nobody sharing pie Then we talk about God But what about the devil They both working hard But one working harder It's your choice to choose You may become a martyr It's our life to live to change the view on order Of our forefathers Remove the darkness from soul Gotta be bold If history repeats itself what's the story told I hope the page turn before I grow old (chorus) I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul I'm just rapping out my soul
