I'ma start with the definition of real hip hop and true raps expression
Inner soul and beliefs through 4 A dat's
Or should I say 32 tracks of inner artifacts
From the heart the pressure just might arrest my cardiac

And perhaps it snaps some back if I don't cut it some slack
Release the spirit that be spittin' these lyrics, you can't react
There is no come back for those who come wack
Leave you shook with a hook from the Holy book for combat

Now what? You wanna battle me? It's ain't what it seems
You ain't up against the odds of me
You up against the odds of the Most High
Supreme Being

You took a turn for the worst and got cursed
You mess with a child of Jah
You deal with God first
'Round the earth and sea

Never fake or underestimate the power of the enemy
'Cause just when you think you got the devil out your vicinity
He snipes you from the roof and takes you out like he did Kennedy
And splatter your dreams all over the wall, laugh as you fall

Cut you off in the knees and make it hard to stand tall
And in the midst of it all, he got the gall to say no hope
So to cope you call a psychic and review your horoscope
You know what I call a horoscope? Exactly what it means
A scope into the horror of reality's bad dreams

They make it out to be
What it doesn't seem
Just to change it back to way it is
Nothing' but lies, kid

Where all my real live Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where all my hip hop Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where my true Souljahz at?
(Right here)

Where you at?
(Right here)
Where you at?
(Right here)

Now just throw your hands way up in the air
And wave 'em all around like you just don't care
And if you're here to get down
Lemme hear ya say, aw, yeah
(Aw, yeah)

You be feelin' it deep in your soul
Tryna' deny that yo peachy world done lost control
We live and die in the dust that we came from
No matter where everybody sing the same song

We all brothers and when you hear the missiles soar
You hit the floor like war, war, still can't find out what it's good for
Absolutely nothin', we killin' like we cannibals
Runnin' over somethin'

You life's a never ending story, runnin' from the nothin'
Don't say I didn't warm you when you see it comin'
Hell fire, brimstone, takin' you home
Came from dust, went to flesh tone and now you gone

Back to dust so in God we trust, get on the bus
Before you leave here, you never know when your time is up
Like the night your clock strikes 12, you lost your shoe
Or the carriage took your shirt to hell, what you gon' do now?

Where all my real live Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where all my hip hop Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where my true Souljahz at?
(Right here)

Where you at?
(Right here)
Where you at?
(Right here)

Now just throw your hands way up in the air
And wave 'em all around like you just don't care
And if you're here to get down
Lemme hear ya say, aw, yeah
(Aw, yeah)

Walked in the door, I asked you before
What you here for? And you shook to the core
Walked on the floor like it was a chore
And then you asked, Lord can you bless me times 4?

Na, na, na, I can't handle it
If your gonna rock, man, please bring in the gentle
Can tell by your sentiment that you weren't even feelin' it
But then, oh but I didn't it

1, 2, look out for my crew
'Cause we be rockin like and nobody knew
From our heads to our shoes, gotta keep it true
Gotta keep it righteous to Him our praise is due

To the ticktock, Souljahz don't stop
'Cause we, 'cause we bring that real hip hop
And we got the stuff to make ya head nod
And make ya, make ya body rock

Where all my real live Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where all my hip hop Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where my true Souljahz at?
(Right here)

Where you at?
(Right here)
Where you at?
(Right here)

Just throw your hands way up in the air
And wave 'em all around like you just don't care
And if you're here to get down
Lemme hear ya say, aw, yeah
(Aw yeah)

Where all my real live Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where all my hip hop Souljahz at?
(Right here)
Where my true Souljahz at?
(Right here)

Where you at?
(Right here)
Where you at?
(Right here)

Now just throw your hands way up in the air
And wave 'em all around like you just, around like you just don't care
And if you're here to get down
Lemme hear ya say Aw, yeah
(Aw, yeah)
