MY SOUL (Young Moose Feature)
[Verse 1: Ty Dolla $ign & Todd Rundgren]
Won't be gettin' sleep tonight and I'm cryin' as I write this
Prayin' for my brother locked up, fightin' fires
My heart goes out to all the daughters missin' God and fathers
Never seen they loved ones 'cause they're prisoners fightin' fires (My soul)
Oh, and I might be biased, but I feel God standin' by us
And the prisoners fightin' fires, oh, yeah (My soul)
And I might be biased, but my soul needs you, Lord
Oh, God, please come take control (Take control of my soul)
[Verse 2: Kanye West & Todd Rundgren]
What if I start off the track, hum the beginnin'
****** ** the middle part and mumble the endin'?
It just feels better in my humble opinion
Much more n-words, but humble beginnings
When I act like the n-word, somebody get injured
That's why we stay in court and go to the pen' for it
Before I forget, let me go get a pen for it
Cancel culture, before I get censored
All I really meant for is you to get mentored
Before we get sentenced, before we get sent for (My soul)
Remember the sentence, remember repentance
Only God can judge me, GDs and Vice Lords
Over in Danville, Stateville, Taylorville, Menard
Jacksonville, Pontiac, Pinckneyville (My soul)
We mass targeted, mass marketed
Mass incarceration, mass in police stations
Mass incorporated, **** Adidas (My soul)
[Verse 3: Young Moose]
If this really what you peoples want, we gon' go to war
Then that one wasn't even right when they kick my door
And they gave my cousin life, if it ain't hurt, why I'm sore then?
I know what it's like 'cause I was in that bullshit (Fuck)
I'm really chosen, ask my aunt, Joan
In this world that we in, it ain't no win
Baby girl, you're a ten with S-O-N
And that [?] in that pictures, miss my old friends
Man, this system really wicked, I ain't know then
'Round the time when Big Crissy had that old dance
I remember when Caully was here, we used to romance
I was speakin' slow dance, I just wanna hold hands
That shit really hurt, what they did to you
I never forget that day, I was leavin' school
I ain't know what to do (Ah, shit)
I'm really tired of this world because it's really filled with lies
If only God can judge me, then how that judge give me time?
