[SOULS OF MISCHIEF]
Souls of Mischief, 88rising
1999 ’n from the Bay down to LA
Up in Oakland, they don’t play ‘round where we stay
You just can't hang out every day
Hater’s with K’ters got ‘em sangin’ when they spray
Just be careful when you’re saying what you say
I pray for all of us
All persons in my circle are certain that they can call on Plus
Seeing people hurting in the streets
I wish that we could all adjust
But the laws for us are far from just
Seems to be taking so long for us
But Plus?
I’m gonna reach the goals that I set up
Vibing to reach your souls and not let up
Rhyming over beats, in the zone with my brothers
Even when you know what’s coming, the horizon is so surprising
Of my rhyming, ain’t no denyin’
All my diss counts I’m still ‘gone apply ‘em
My and my pirates cook in the Pyrex
A metaphor for mic checks
I’m happily collecting my checks
And after we check-in we fly next
We’re glad to see ya, Africa to Indonesia and
Anywhere in between we mash it up, now dem BELIEVERS
It’s the rare airborne rangers world famous
Dangerous as the San Andreas Fault on bargain basement angel dust
Acquired the taste so they swiping the slang a
Permanent wave and ultraviolet rays
Anticulture lying to ya face like crime it pays
Federal case
Minimum wage is criminal in this Digital Silicon haze maze
Feel like a slave invisible chains on the chain gang fame came
Danced like a wild untamed flame
Penning the pain yin and the yang
She came and drained the main vein dang water rafting
Rhyme wasn’t really designed to get a diamond
But I’m in the prime, so I’m a rip lining
Lime in the coconut vibin’ on the island
Nodding but woke ‘em off automatic pilot
Through the third eyelid truth unfurl in the
World I live interspersed in a verse I spit
Curse with the gift kaleidoscope
Slippery sliding slope
Through the clarity found in a resonant sound
We try to cope they giving you a lotta rope it’s
Not a joke to sell your body and soul for a pot of gold, body blow
Paid the tax greatest raps on wax it’s Souls in fact
Got the needle on the phonograph
Screaming jumping Jehoshaphat
Couldn’t hold ‘em back I was over the moon anywhere on the map I’m chosen
Rollin’ wit the mob we sold out shows that’s not a drop in the ocean
Big things poppin’ got hella motion never gonna stop East Oakland
I’m jet propelling past the glass ceiling like the mad villain potion
Broke the mold with devotion keep it in my heart when I start the commotion
Put it in my art the arsenal blows ‘em away and I start with the ultimate break
Beats gotta make doe when I sleep when I count sheep they bounce to my heat
I was outside eyes wide open hit the cruise control then I’m west coastin’
I’m overwhelmed with emotions
The ups and downs lost hopes and ambition
Man listen
Gotta have plans, be exact, use precision
Part of me wanna be livin’ to start the beginning and given a chance to amend it
I thought I was slippin the heart of a sinner I’m just a product the lawless agenda
It’s hard to pretend that we all not afflicted corrupted within us
Brought to redemption by thoughts of repentance
Not our intention
I’m reinvented
Grateful I lived it
Imagine your dream coming true, actually seeing something through
Scanning the scene and scheming and scamming and plotting and planning until your planted seed come to fruit
Imagine busting every move, never accepting “no” nah ‘cause you’re exceptional
And your vision has a hold that won’t let you go, every step that you take is intentional
In the direction of an objective for which you feel a real love, unconditional
Unconventional, I know but the ember still glows, even when the fire gets real low
Might have to give it a lil’ blow, find you some tinder to build on
Find you some kin to fulfill roles, you know steel sharpens steel
Align it with them and then build more
Imagine believing in magic, weaving a fabric so fantastic everybody wanna have it
A marvelous garment, made up of your triumphs and hardships, just gorgeous
And it’s more than enough to go ‘round whether it’s now or on another go ‘round
And the masses await the atelier to throw down
Imagine traveling so rapidly that you manage to wrap this tapestry in all its majesty around the whole planet to bask in
And share in each other’s warmth
Then you understand what the love is for
That’s how it feels when you crafting a classic, this ain’t just rapping
