Ab-Soul, Alori Joh - Soul Cry lyrics

Do it sound tight?

Considered a fuck up all of my life
Too smart for my own good all of the time
In kindergarten I got a kick out
Of pissin' on my classmates
And I recall getting ass
Whoopings every couple days
I had a Power Ranger bike
I wheelied in the street
Got grounded for a month for
Spray painting it green
I went to middle school and
Started slacking in my studies
Before the rise of AIM the
Gang bangers were my buddies
I wasn't fit for it I needed a tailor
I still went for it it wasn't out of anger
I needed to be accepted in my neighborhood
My mamma couldn't tell me nothing
End of discussion i ain't shit
I must be constipated cause I ain't shit
Naw, I ain't shit, I ain't shit
I ain't shit

Things ain't always what they seem
If you look close you can see
What's your perception of me?
Is it good? I wish it was
Cause I ain't shit
You may think I'm eating but I ain't shit
Naw I ain't shit, I ain't shit
I ain't shit

In ninth grade I started off
On the right track
Got a few A's but then I bounced right back
Wasn't aware my main thought was
What I should wear
Now that I think about it nobody really cared
I grew up in the church
But barely paid attention
Read up on Malcolm X
And started questioning religion
Became a rebel i still believe in God
I just doubt the authenticity of
Jesus and the Devil i got my first car and
Started smoking black and milds
The smell is like a bell in Hades, hella loud
Then it was Newports and Kools
On my way to school
My girl hated it but still
Kissed me in the mouth
I started ditching class more than I attended
I was walking a path that I had not intended
It looked as though I was mad
Becoming relentless
My mamma couldn't tell me nothing
End of discussion i ain't shit
I ain't attracting no flies
Man I ain't shit
Naw, I ain't shit, I ain't shit
I ain't shit

Cause I ain't shit
You may think I'm eating but I ain't shit
Naw I ain't shit, I ain't shit
I ain't shit

I got kicked out, crept back in
If I wasn't fucking I was fussing
With my step dad again oh yeah I rapped
Didn't take it that serious
But I flowed like an ocean among my peers
Dreams of going off to college
In my younger years
Then the whole thought of it sounded
Nuts I had dumbo ears
Did about a semester then I was outta there
Said if I get one song on radio
I'm outta here knowing that low ratio
Of successful entertainers i choose a goal
People with skulls would say was brainless
Started smoking weed as soon as
Purple kush was famous
Shifting my setting eventually as
I went through changes
People I seen my whole life
Appeared to me as strangers
Created a voice through my music and
Now they speak my language
I was in a Jay Rock video
For less than 15 seconds
All of a sudden niggas that I looked
Up to see me as a legend
Now I step in clubs and
Sidity bitches give me hugs
But back in PE tennis a nigga got zero love
I'm just a hard headed loser
My mamma was trying to save me
From stalling out my future
Cause I ain't shit
I don't need no toilet paper
Man I ain't shit
Naw, I ain't shit, I ain't shit
I ain't shit

Things ain't always what they seem
If you look close you can see
What's your perception of me?
Is it good? I wish it was
Cause I ain't shit
You may think I'm eating but I ain't shit
Naw I ain't shit, I ain't shit
I ain't shit
