Soulo Ho3

[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'll enjoy as this much as I do

Are we ready? I am

'Cause 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"

[Chorus: (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 on 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 on one again

[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]

Yeah, manipulatin' minds

Reciprocatin' time spent on my amazin' rise

Said I was the underdog, turns out I'm the secret weapon

We can see you half-steppin', 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 prayin' and I started plannin'

I stopped playin' 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 to die to get my point across like craps

Control System, cut off your radios, cut off your television

[Chorus: (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 on 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 on one again

[Verse 3: Ab-Soul]

Truth, I'm turnin' their heads and I'm earnin' respect

Grinnin' 'cause niggas ain't know I was next

Pinnin' this shit in the wind, literate as Oscar Wilde

Bringin' the terror and tearin' the concert down

The spliff will get lit up 'til we look like we come from Chinatown

Missin' 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 Total

Or Dorothy's dog Toto, I'm tellin' niggas

I'ma need a few wings like Frodo, I can't say YOLO

Because I've been here before, so def 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) Nothin' was given

(We live one hell of a life) We still livin'
