Lyrics:
(exhales)
You know in life a man struggles. Sometimes things just get too tough.
This music thing sometimes feels hopeless.
Then I hear beats like this & I'm back at it.
Rockwell, yea, uh/
See I'm inspired by the roofless coupe/
the air that makes ya hair swoon/
that feeling that makes a rebel dare to/
be the oddball/ in front of you all/
never compromising his dignity for the dream to ball/
the Lord made me & most times I'm ungrateful see/
cus the sin in my life is so grating/
i could tell you every bit of me/
but the cynicism in me/
makes me hold it in bitterly/
Historian said I'm at my best when I tell a story/
so here's a story for me to tell/
about the time before I ever became Rockwell/
young in Seattle/
always around ciphers but i was scared to battle/
no one would like my lyrics/
or admire a triumphant spirit/
till God told me to spit it like I was alone in a clearing/
then I did it/
ignored the fear and now i'm chasin it/
a micfiend's dream/ you'll see what i mean/
Chorus:
rappers now got no soul/
the riches get to them and they sell it off yo/
but me i hold mines close/
cus when God gives a blessing be thankful/be thankful 2x
down on my knees/
caps black like a top hat/
puttin love in ya music nothing can top that/
but it's like the passion is left by the wayside/
cus it's every man's dream to ride/
on a black body Ducati/
or cream BMW/
music now makes these kids wanna hustle too/
forget a velvet flow/
they desire Hef's velvet robe/
they forget about music's expression/
and how it was used to defy oppression/
now it's just used to get a bigger cheerin section/
but if these fans knew you only know green/
then maybe your records would sell more slowly/
you think diversity/
is composing verses about guns/
but everybody gets sad when you die by one/
not me, if you say it be prepared to live it/
otherwise that lie should have never been given/
a trigger pulled is just a life's way of dismissin him/
Chorus:
rappers now got no soul/
the riches get to them and they sell it off yo/
but me i hold mines close/
cus when God gives a blessing be thankful/be thankful 2x
Ah, refreshing like water's splash/
but it's not the same when they turned hip hop into a fad/
dare i say im the best out/
cus the rest pound their chest and pump techs just to get clout/
forget about the murder rate/
i wanna know the rate of mind control & how it makes crimes escalate/
it seems like people don't care anymore/
women now are shocked when a man holds the door/ damn
forget how are you/
they like how can i make ya legs part boo/
forgetting courtship is an act meant to be artful/
i'm the only Picasso left/
painting my name on the internet but what's next/
stages, escalators, sets & mazes/
mental feats & CD changers/
fighting cats who got swords when i got a light saber/
one man against an empire/
you think i don't have a chance? you would be a liar/ hehe
Chorus:
rappers now got no soul/
the riches get to them and they sell it off yo/
but me i hold mines close/
cus when God gives a blessing be thankful/be thankful 2x
cats just aint got soul no more.
They jus dont care about the game
Ready to give it all away just for riches.
It's like this tho, we're not put here only to get for ourselves, we're put here to get & give to somebody else.
~Rock
