Lyrical Analysis of...
Soul Train ft. Kalligraphy
- //verse 1 0:13
- I remember when I was young
- In the winter on the light pole I'd freeze my tongue
- I was a troubled teen, never knew reason
- I'd sneak out at night and got beaten
- I smoked cigarettes and gave nerds threats
- I never grew up in the projects, but witnessed tons of deaths
- Sex and meth, that was the way I relieved stress
- Daddy called the feds when I caused a death
- Had to dash away and jump the chain fence
- Became a run away as soon as I let the bullets spray
- Sleeping in the subway 'til I was forced to getaway
- Was a castaway, I stole my first Chevrolet
- When the cops came I had to hideaway until they left that day
- Got my girl pregnant before I graduated, my mom's eyes full of hatred
- Became more independent and stopped rolling up a blunt, and became dedicated
- Got wasted and next thing I knew, me and my girl were naked
- Started raising a kid, he was good, luckily never in the hood
- //hook 1:07
- I’m on this soul train~
- Got better as I became the husband of Mary Jane
- Memories, sorry for the worries
- Memories, sorry for the worries
- //verse 2 1:17
- When me and my wife were living in hotel rooms, with [toxic fumes](drugs)
- Dreams of selling out those venues, I heard some startling news, there were some sonic booms
- Brainwashed my mind, left the past me behind, I was redefined
- No card declined, got close to Christ, I was surprised
- Woke up and it was a dream, it was just a glance at the life of being clean
- But I brushed it off and went to the slot machine, and smoked some nicotine
- I was obscene, if only I would’ve seen, but I was only nineteen
- If only I knew what my self esteem would’ve been, just like glycine
- I would have been healthier and happier, no drug dealer
- Look to my right, beside me is the grim reaper, right to me is the holy light
- But I didn’t choose what was right, I wanted to still see my dealer, chose evil, so I chose to bite
- Those were the biggest mistakes I made in life.
- //hook 2:12
- I’m on this soul train~
- Got better as I became the husband of Mary Jane
- Memories, sorry for the worries
- Memories, sorry for the worries
- //verse 3 Kalligraphy 2:21
- Uh huh
- Even Hov spoke about letting go of regrets
- Millionaires hold em not just those in debt
- My flesh is connected with the spiritual mesh
- That reflects saying myself is a tearful mess
- And yes, the pious and zionest, the flakiest Atheist
- Have regrets, we’re humans, it’s the way we get
- I regret many things, the poetry’s wedding ring
- Cuz writing consumed all my time when I could be doing better things
- Or maybe not…and this is where God needs me
