the soul

same characters but the show's different

just listen

it feels like the soul been missing

i remember copping that compact disc just to take off the wrapping

it was more then rapping

read credits

till every name's embedded

one day

i'm a be just like them

bet it!

one day

i'm a come and lace the team with their favorite things

when i grace the screen

coasting!

i mean

it's nothing like what i was hoping

no emotion

we just going through the motions

i used to watch the videos just to see the new shit

wanted to see it first

i thought i'd be exclusive

remember getting hyped off my first casio

suped up writing my first verse

it was ass though

acappella

no beat and a bad flow

damn i miss the good ol' days

when we had soul!

when we had soul!

i remember each day putting my favorite song on replay

but my tape deck would always eat tapes

i'd put my finger in the middle trying to fix it

just for the shit to end up sounding twisted

pressing clothes before school

i was matching

liked the girl in class

got mad when she was absent

wasn't a baller and i ain't have no game

so what could i do besides ignore her?

my first fight with no brothers to get

i remember being scared as shit and he had all this lip

and i ain't have hands not a bit

just knew that i ain't wanna get hit

so staring at the clock

i ain't trying to see 3 o'clock hit

but i never found the back door

he ended up with a tapped jaw

i ended up with that bad broad

damn

i miss the good ol' days

i wish we had more

maybe i'm feeling like a kid today

i mean

i used to want to have a house party watching house party

kid & play

i had the low tops kicks and the fade

i remember my first piece of ass from a hot chick

surprised she gave it to me

was shocked i got it

ol' girl image of me was all ruined

had to be thinking the fuck's this boy doing? "
