Rocky "ROC" VanDergriff - Soulful Vibes lyrics

[Verse 1: ROC] Protect ya neck, protect your soul, spit methanol Get it chopping like a vegetable So intellectual, don't believe me? Homie check the polls But I ain't in it for the decimals Conceptional, rap is my confessional One in a milli flow, no collectibles I be potent with the grime, serving is my pastime Leave a knot up in your stomach like some edibles Vibing out to the sound of Dilla beats Climbing down from a tower build with greed Man all my loved ones stay so proud of me When I stepped up on the scene, mad cats was doubting me Like, how's this kid post to be a rapper? And he serves God to? That's a reason for laughter He's inauthentic, boy he's just an actor I'll buy his CD and shove it down the crapper I'm like hold up, can you gimme a chance? Don't discount just cuz I ain't got a trendy dance Ain't another artist talking bout a failed romance Or how many freakin racks I got stuffed in my pants I'm just tryna make a couple conscious rhymes Keeping Father God first cuz he's so sublime I don't wanna resort to dealing packs and dimes Strapping nines for the greenback and shine New school boy, Imma reinvent it Like Logic, Joey, J. Cole, and Kendrick Claim rap, get approval from the hip hop senate Stop gunning for the dollars, the Raris and the Prada Ain't spitting worth nada, without any talent Heavy is the hand that be slamming the mallet That's why I won't sign on the dotted lines I want more than the Bennies and the concubines [Hook: CJ!] Put on my headphones then Pick up my pad, pick up my pen And write my thoughts between the lines This is stress relief in my life Soulful vibes That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me Soulful Vibe That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me [Verse 2: Melly Mel tha Kidd] Always searching for clues of happiness Day and night, I'm excluded, imagine if You were stagnant In moods construed as “lacking this” When I try to locate my protagonist I find myself put back in that abyss, that's inadequate I'm an addict for wishing for lavishness Still testing life's challenges Like is that asking too much to be counted with? The respect, the greatness surpa**ing this Type of life? All my life I been traveling Through my thoughts in my mind I been battling Inner me be the savageness Carrying grief when my heart is deceived The other side sees No profit in beef so I just turn a cheek And that's what I tell myself Even though I don't know inside Chasing dreams till I see a way And this hard work is gon provide Well even if this leads to nothing And all this rapping's just a waste of time I make music as a stress relieve Melly Mel with the soulful vibes I said, yeah that's what I tell myself Even though I don't know inside Chasing dreams till I see a way And this hard work is gon provide Well even if this leads to nothing And all this rapping's just a waste of time I make music as a stress relieve Melly Mel with the soulful vibes [Hook: CJ!] Put on my headphones then Pick up my pad, pick up my pen And write my thoughts between the lines This is stress relief in my life Soulful vibes That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me Soulful Vibe That's what's inside, that's what's inside of me [Verse 3: ROC] Peep game as I strike with deep aim Devouring this track ain't finna refrain Ricochet through the haze, set the tapes ablaze It's like a maze, gaze upon this great display Portrayed, now, without a single facade Without a mirage, or case of mistaken identity Credibility in my vicinity Enemies fearing me, lyrically, I'm on a k**ing streak Experimental flow, that's just how it goes Tryna change it up a little so I ain't so so Oh no, taking photos with a GoPro Homegrown, no solo dolo Honestly I don't know what I'm saying I'm just playing around, rap is like my playground 209 Motown, quite profound Wear the wrong color, they might gun you down Hit the floor, deck you like the Inspectah Dictionary word collector Rhyme ejector, poetry roots protector Y'all sweet like some tulip nectar Repping that Eternally Graceful Entertainment Saving souls, we complacent We adjacent to Christ fam, never Satan That s**a can cop this ailment Set it off like a Mac 11, pow Raw material, unleavened, wow Keep it cla**ic like shell toe Adidas And I ain't ever charging for a feature Got a couple pockets full of raps, you know I'm tryna strive To make this my nine to five So I lift his name up when the day gets rough Cuz we all know God provides
