Soulstice 3 Lyrics
They say so long, Soul, but the mission ain't accomplished
Soul got flow, he eliminated faucets
Soul Kwon Do, son the shit'll break your jaw with
The same kind of force that'll instigate a mosh pit
So never take me as a kid afraid of conflict
They're syndicating that vanilla flavored soft shit
Bottom line I'm just sick of making offers
Of my hopes to the world and ricocheting off it
I been sick of taking losses
Sick of staying haunted by the little failures of my conscience
I been sick of playing ostrich
Now could somebody please just defibrillate my heart quick?
[Hook]
Please gimme my shoes, my hat, and my coat
I've gotta get gone, get back on that road
To the sun-dried palms, that gave me peace
So I can right my wrongs, that plague my sleep
I live on an island of stone and light
Yet sometimes it don't feel like home
I try to swim out but the ocean tides
Carry me back to the steam and glow
[Verse 2]
I don't need an opponent cause in the heat of the moment
The only battle that matters is with my feeling and motives
Or maybe thieves and the owners cause when they see what you on
They wanna steal it and clone it for all the weakest and lowest
And I don't need a diploma for me to see and decode it
So either leave me alone or just take a seat in the Lotus position
And meditate with it
This ain't even how I rap, I'm just playing with it
[Verse 3]
Soul, why you talk about death so much?
I don't know, why are good folks dead so much?
Go and press your luck like you just woke up
And you ain't seen the things your fellow men blow up
We out in Jonestown, come and get your cups
Fuck a shortcut, I ain't uttered presto once
The end is not imminent, yes I'm omnipotent
Never carnivorous, guess that I'm chicken
The flesh that I'm diggin's, the sex I'm not getting
I petrify women with lengths that I've driven myself
You probably would testify with em', I've felt
Less like I live and I'm stretched to my limits
God help
But you don't hear me, though
About
The third installment in Soul Khan’s ‘Soulstice’ series of pieces. Each one has a different agenda than the previous one, and together tell a story. The single was released on June 23, 2011.
“Soulstices are like the ultimate musical status update, in which Soul Khan tell fans in as potent and honest terms as he knows, how he feels about his life and the world that it occupies. As always, it is over a borrowed non-hip hop musical source that reflects the tone of the song as well as his contemporary cultural influences.”
Soul Khan: “This all sounds way too pretentious, so fuck it, I’ll put it like this: Soulstice means the ‘realest shit I ever wrote’”
The instrumental is taken from Rachel Grimes' “My Dear Companion”
