DJ Pon-3 - Soul Cry lyrics

And it goes like [Verse 1: Ervin Mitchell] Wake up in the morning with a lack of motivation Caught up in between other lessons and occupations Once here for the world is the essence of my complications Pray to God that he forgives all of my arrogant proclomations All I promised was good times and conversation But when they fall I always fell some type of obligation I tried tellin' myself that she was just another girl Inserted a clip and aimed a pistol at her world Pow, pow [?] I just fell in love with the sound the gun makes It's a cold a** world, but the merciful sun bakes Looking at the father, I see why his son ate Drownin' all our pain in a bottle of heartaches Facin' all my fears, cause that's what it's gon' take It's a simple fact of life, that people are gon' hate For as long as you gon' wait For as long as it's gon' take, uh [Chorus] Open up your mind to the sound that your soul makes The truth about greatness is that we are all great I'm speakin' life [?] existence, I'm the best rapper alive They told us we would fail, be we takin' em' by surprise (x2) [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Yeah That n***a say they closed, why the sign say they open Puffin' on this marijuana just to hang wit' copin' Add dreams and personas I had trouble upholdin' Gettin' then losin' material (x2) [Instrumental] Gettin' then losin' material [Instrumental] [Outro] And it goes like Meanwhile, my soul cries Like the tears from my eyes Meanwhile, my soul cries My soul cries (x2) And it goes like Meanwhile, my soul cries Like the tears from my eyes Meanwhile, my soul cries My soul cries (x2) Open up your mind (echoes)
