Yours Truly - SOL

I write this song, for my family

For my fans, friends, and enemies

I want to tell this to you tell it, tell it to your face

But I speak so much better when the beat breaks

They used to make fun of my stutter like every day

So I got high to slow my mind and to levitate

Been writin' punch lines since I found an empty page

Fuck the rap game

More than an emcee mayne

Forget your bars, your boxes

This is hip hop, and not the non-sense

You only live once, as far as I can tell

So I break through this music like I’m out of jail

This is Huey

This is Bobby

This is Malcolm

This is Pac

This is you

This is me

This is us

This is god

This is so much more than sixteen bars

This is from me to you, stay true to who you are

Hey, ho, hey

You don’t know me man

When I be on stage

All you see is fame

So you scream my name

But you don’t know me man

Hey, ho, hey

You don’t know me man

When you bump my songs

You like to judge them all

As if you knew me y’all

But you don’t know me man

My homies want to smoke

These ladies want to fuck

And rappers want me to rap on every single cut

But I nip and tuck

Myself in the cut

I know you give me love, but I need to get in touch

See you could really see, see who is really me

23 deep

Yours truly Still incomplete

Soon as the beat cast me out your alley in the Philippines

Fila and Manila Rest in peace to the Billy Jean

Author, the king

He taught me everything

I was probably three feet tall Moon walking towards my dream

I’m a product of the 90's

Product of a black mama

White papa Clinton-Bush-Obama foreign policy

I took a time machine

To my birth date

Change my birth place

To the land of the earth quake

If my mama would’ve had me in Haiti this verse would say

Sak pase'

You don’t know me man

Rap is what I do

But not who I am

If you ever been judged by someone for something you understand

I’m a simple man

Not so different

Just cause I sing about women in my music doesn’t mean I’m pimping them

I fell in love once

But I’ve tried many times

Lost the most beautiful girl Then spit lines and many dimes

But it’s never quite the same

First night they give me brain

Then the next morning ask me if Sol’s my real name

My man say ‘find out who you are and be it'

We just happen to be in the public so you see it

That’s why you think you know me

But you are not my homie

I used to be a stoner

Now I am just Mr. Lonely

We only on this cold world for a minute

That’s why I treat the good like piano keys and hit it

I get it

Like it is supposed to be got

While on the rise I don’t mind

If you know me or not

Suck up
