Top Flight - My Soul lyrics

Chorus [Top Flight] I let the old me drown Nothing's gonna' hold me down I don't need to hold the crown I just wanna' spread my soul around But will I ever get the chance? I won't know if I don't roll So I've got to advance Until the world holds my soul Verse 1 [Top Flight] My soul's like a barcode, waiting to be scanned I just pray that one day, the world takes my hand Until a few months ago, none of this was planned It took me two years just to find out where I stand Before I found my brand I had no purpose in music People thought that I should land and that it's worthless to do this They still do, but the doubting only makes my brain tough I'm used to people clouting me with all the same stuff Like your plane will never get lifted, why won't you listen What makes you different from all these other musicians You're a fool for leaving school, start saving for tuition And come party with us dude, you don't know what your missing See, it's hard because a part of me agrees with them But the other part believes I need to reach within And hand the land my soul, with no edits I just hope that the globe lets me spread it Chorus [Top Flight] I let the old me drown Nothing's gonna' hold me down I don't need to hold the crown I just wanna' spread my soul around But will I ever get the chance? I won't know if I don't roll So I've got to advance Until the world holds my soul Verse 2 [Top Flight] Overtime, my dreams have been evolving Before I wrote a rhyme, I was all about balling I picked sports to maintain as my addiction I would hit the court to restrain my afflictions But when my dad departed, the pain started kicking My dreams turned to nightmares everything was glitching I fell in love with d**, and it became a contradiction I put partying above, every frame I had visioned So it came to the decision, of what I wanted more To succeed, or weed, man I wasn't sure But I knew, I would fail, if I kept, smoking L's Cause whenever I was toasted I stayed posted in my shell Man I would never get nothing done! All I ever put my focus on was puffin one So finally, I put d** behind me And now it's seems steps to my dreams, are declining Chorus [Top Flight] I let the old me drown Nothing's gonna' hold me down I don't need to hold the crown I just wanna' spread my soul around But will I ever get the chance? I won't know if I don't roll So I've got to advance Until the world holds my soul Bridge/Outro [Top Flight] Until the world holds my soul I will never fold Until it holds my soul Then I won't fold
