The Sound in the Soul Lyrics

[Verse 2: Kartune]
Homemade tapes stay revolving on cassettes played
Had the Kid 'n Play taper cutting up on Saturday
Too hype to stay in one place like Flava Flav in 88
The military brat of my culdesac

Held back feelings for lack of dad led to pressures in my head
So the needle scratching wax gave me spinal tap

I grew spine in fact imitated my favorite tracks
Mapped plans to make my mom prouder than fam of Kyla Pratt
That's why I want to rap opposite emcees
Who repeat empty meanings about dames chains and currency

Lame shit was boring me to sleep
Dreamed of being crowned by legendary kings of where stalagmites be
I'm the seedling of cds labeled classics
Bred to pass their word to masses while relaying the past tense
Been tense worried that I'd never be shit
But failure is not an option on Apollo's spaceship bitch

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Pliny Science]
Of these lights can you see me lord? I can't afford
A pearl to add on to this gate my fate is to the sword

Or the pen as I begin to write my leaving score
I press the feeling of the fallen to unbreathing hordes
Whose stained arms with ink drip to represent
Their royal status in the streets, no bowing to your excellence

With cruel intent to cast the ones unfit and heaven-sent
The moment that I knew if I's to rise I'd have to wreck this shit so

Should I follow the roots of music to the East side
A prehistoric prime of West's best in Jurassic 5
Lest I think west like the rest when I feel Chi
Or stay at ground zero in the South to slow my state of mind
I'll pack the Samsonite and consider myself a nomad
And leave these ranks to show that, I'm making my name with my own brand
To all of the people that told me I shouldn't have gone rap, kiss my gonads

I'm hoping you'll see my name in the lights cause I can't get enough and won't go back (peace)
[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
