"Soulo Ho3" feat. Jhene Aiko (Produced by Sounwave & Dave Free)
[Intro: Jhené Aiko] This is a story about control, my control Control of what I say, control of what I do And this time I'm gonna do it my way I hope you enjoy as much as I do Are we ready? I am, because it's all about control And I've got lots of it
[Verse 1: Ab-Soul] Soulo ho, the one and only You niggas know me, your bitches want me Determination, I got a grip, 9-5 locs I am not a Crip Blood, sweat and tears, hotel tiers Your short term tall tales won't sell here And Ms. Aiko told me let my soul sail here Let me get a "hell yeah"
[Hook: (Jhené Aiko) & Ab-Soul] (Open your eyes) You niggas know what it is (It's about that time) Soulo on one again (It's been a hell of a ride) You niggas know what it is (We live one hell of a life) Say Soulo ho one again I'm still on my shit Fuck em, fuck em, fuck em They still on my dick You niggas know what it is (Open your eyes) You niggas know what it is (It's about that time) Soulo ho one again
[Verse 2] Manipulating minds Reciprocating time spent on my amazing rise Said I was the underdog, turns out I'm the secret weapon We can see you half-stepping, I should somersault Some are salty that I made it in the way I did Cause I really did everything I say I did Let me tell you why I'm vexed The same reason why I'm stressed, the same reason why I'm blessed I stopped praying, and I started planning I stopped playing, and I made it happen We mapped it out, and now the map is ours Raised my stats all from records, check an almanac Thank god punchline knew I had a knack Down too die to get my point across like craps Control System, cut off your radios, cut off your television
[Hook: (Jhené Aiko) & Ab-Soul]
[Verse 3] Truth, I'm turning their heads and I'm earning respect Grinning cause niggas ain't know I was next, pinning this shit in the wind Literate as Oscar Wilde, bringing the terror and tearing the concert down The spliff will get lit up 'til we look like we come from Chinatown Missing Alori Joh, it's been a minute since I saw her smile She's the reason why I go as hard as I do now Fuck a foe cause I'm focused as four bifocals I'm prone to leave a vocal booth totaled for the right total The bad boy, you boys pussy as totems Or Dorthy's dog toto, I'm telling niggas I'mma need a few wings like Frodo, I can't say YOLO Because I've been here before, so deaf that I've been reborn, Soulo
[Outro: (Jhené Aiko) & Ab-Soul] (Open your eyes) I know you can see me (It's about that time) They ain't goin' believe me (It's been a hell of a ride) Nothing was given (We live one hell of a life) We still living
