J57 - Soul Like Khan lyrics

[Produced by J57] I'm a hell of a geek with intelligent speech Small time but my sk**s will embellish my reach f** the upscale life and the elegant eats Just a grilled cheese and French fries and tell me it's cheap Got the flavor of Apollo creed with a plate of collard greens Trying to separate the good and bad from my father's genes Though the better part of me should bury the past I can't forget the sweat of the woman that carried his a** She saved and scraped while he was still jobless She gave us faith while he was still godless She made mistakes but still remained modest While he straight escaped while we were unconscious So now I fear nothing except maybe becoming The man that made me and then left like it was nothing A boy shouldn't ever have to be so grown But when daddy ain't a daddy, got to be your own [Hook] I ain't the kind of man to hold my tongue But sometimes I'm the only one Even if you've been where I'm from You'll never know a soul like khan I might sleep on that gravy train But best believe I'm gonna stay the same And y'all can eat off the weight I gain You'll never know a soul like khan I throw a penny in the well without wishing In hopes that it floats with another's ambition I was always told that small change is still change Caked up or broke down, y'all pain is still pain I fall in love as easily as breathing They feel it for a minute, too, but leave me in a season I've been dropped in the autumn and frozen out in winter Outgrown in the spring and in summer burnt to cinders I poke my nose where it doesn't belong In your life, in your speakers, or the front of a thong We all got some skeletons under our lawn And my bones poke out so my shovel's a song I crack a joke at a s**er's expense But he's just another dude trying to cover the rent And who am I to judge I'm a god damned mess But if y'all still listening, I'm god damned blessed [Hook] I ain't the kind of man to hold my tongue But sometimes I'm the only one Even if you've been where I'm from You'll never know a soul like khan I might sleep on that gravy train But best believe I'm gonna stay the same And y'all can eat off the weight I gain You'll never know a soul like khan Thanks to feel
