Soul Music

(You came into my life)
(I don't have to wonder no more, I can feel it all in my soul
It's Soul Music
(It's deep down in my soul)
Feel the burn
I can see I got a good foundation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)
It's Soul Music
I feel the need for contemplation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)

Yo, I first took breath in Hemstead, Long Island
Born American ancestry from Ireland
You ain't knowin me, you'd better stop smilin'
Ain't nothin funny once my dummies start whiling
You talkin loud all of a sudden it's silent
Your premonitions say it's about to get violent
You want permission just to blink your own eyelids
I got my soldiers, everywhere they go, I win
No stick moves, ain't no cap peeling
Where I come from real men don't catch feelins
We don't rhyme about fake jacks or drug dealin
The shit I drop will leave all your brains on the ceilin'
Mass appealin, done it since the '80s
Rock rhymes for my dogs, sing songs for my ladies
Spend money like crazy, ain't got no babies
If I don't make it in heaven I'll run shit in Hades

Now I can see I got a good foundation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)
It's Soul Music
I feel the need for contemplation deep down in my soul
(It's in my soul)
Soul Music
And I can feel a dark sensation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)
Soul Music
Tryin to find an explanation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)

Yo I shit on competition
Spit on percussion
Beats are bonecrushin
One deep I'm bum-rushin
Guns they get stuck in
Someone starts buckin
The jewels that I'm truckin got pimps upchuckin
You can't hold me down
You can't hold my hand
A full grown man with the one God plan

I represent the colors that never run
God bless DMC
God bless Reverend Run
R.I.P. for the J.M.J.
Tell Big and Scott LaRock that we all say hey
Be like Tupac or be like Kid 'n Play
Do you wanna burn out or just fade away
I can rock the mic with no delay
With my head to the ground every time I pray
You can catch a heart attack or get blown away
Cause this type of shit happens everyday

Feel the burn
(I can feel it all in my soul)
It's Soul Music
(It's deep down in my soul)
Feel the burn
(It's in my soul)
It's Soul Music
(It's deep down in my soul)

Feel the burn
Now I can see I got a good foundation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)
It's Soul Music
I feel the need for contemplation deep down in my soul
(It's in my soul)
Soul Music
And I can feel a dark sensation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)
Soul Music
Tryin to find an explanation deep down in my soul
(It's deep down in my soul)
Feel the burn
