Soul Food (Explicit)-Big K.R.I.T./Raphael Saadiq
What happened to the soul food
What happened to the soul food
Im talkingood eatin
Good seasonin
Out here in this world
O my o my o my
Just tryna make it
O my o my
Everything I see
O my o my o my
Sometimes I cant take it
O my o my
But damn I really miss those times
O my o my o my
That soul foods on my mind
O my o my o my
Mind mind mind
Grandmas hands used to usher sunday mornings
Now before sunday school
I hustle and Im on it
I cant slow down nah
A dollar and a dream
In this life you live
Youre either the dealer or the fiend
Leaninhorizontal
The acrobats on the corner they flip
So when them white vans pull up shawty we dip
Out of view couldve been a track star at the school
But it took the police just to get
That 44out of you
Dash sprint hurdle
Over those steel gates
They keep us in and keep folk out
But we dont feel safe
As we used to back when we was in a booster
Watchinour uncles drink coolers talkin
Pound for pound bruisers
Over rib bones
Now I sideways tote
How did Bobby Johnson hold it
Pull the trigger till the clip gone
Potato tip
No potato salad
That american pie aint even snappin
Out here in this world
O my o my o my
Just tryna make it
O my o my
Everything I see
O my o my o my
Sometimes I cant take it
O my o my
But damn I really miss those times
Omy o my o my
That soul foods on my mind
O my o my o my
Mind mind mind
Aromas on the corner these soul they say
Some greens just cant be cleaned and
You cant wash out the taste
Of rotten roots
Salted looks and herbs
If it aint made with love
Then it aint fit to serve
I heard
Some get bruised and battered
Thrown away half eaten as if their seeds
Never ever mattered
It aint ripe it aint right
Thats why most people dont make love no more
They just f**k and they fight
What happened to the stay togethers
Yeah Im with you and that means forever
Grandparents had that kind of bond
But now we on some other sh*t
Nah we aint got no rubbers here
I know she creepinso that aint my son
Apples fall off of trees and roll down hills
We cant play games no more cause we got bills
Back in the day the yard was oh so filled
Now nobody comes around here
Out here in this world
O my o my o my
Just tryna make it
O my o my
Everything I see
O my o my o my
Sometimes I cant take it
O my o my
But damn I really miss those times
O my o my o my
That soul foods on my mind
O my o my o my
Mind mind mind
Never thought itd be
No soul food on my plate
We gather round and lie
Bow our heads and pray
And I
I still remember
O my
The family parties
The happy faces
No broken hearts
Nobody starvin
But all that there is old news
What happened to the soul food
Out here in this world
O my o my o my
Just tryna make it
O my o my
Everything I see
O my o my o my
Sometimes I cant take it
O my o my
But damn I really miss those times
O my o my o my
That soul foods on my mind
O my o my o my
Mind mind mind
