Soul Clap - Strange Fruit Project

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, the heart, the heart, the heart

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, the heart, the heart, the heart

I couldn’t care less about what you brothers be drivin'

So I’m gonna tell you a little about what I’ve been

Strugglin' for pay that’s little more

Than minimum wage, caged birds singing away

I feel send it away

Holding onto the promise that the present hour is soon to relay

But I still remain a slave to the flesh

when your heart and soul have been vandalised

handle mine

And I see your bullshit without a candle shine

In the middle of dark where people practice the art

Of nothing less than overcoming the stresses of life

It’s like a vice, applying pressure to mics

We get squeezing, all act like we ain’t needed advice

But it’s all in our nature so I’m knowin' that it’s real for ya

So here’s another soul clap to show I’m here for ya

Can I get a soul clap for all the brothers on lockdown

The brothers on rocks now, with you holdin' the spot down

Can I get a for all the ladies who stand up

To don’t need a man, what?

Can I get get a soul clap for anybody out to get it

If you hustlin', walk about it, don’t spit it

We puttin' the soul back, back together again

And soul clap for women and men

I walk my soul on the surface, lurking through cracks and crevices

they got brothers trapped, worshipping serpants

pennies, searching for curses in my verses

But God bless, I manifest, I put this fist to your chest

And represent till my flesh is at rest

And when I exit, resurrect through my seeds, connect the words that bleed

The ink from the pen wrote on the pad

That’s word to my mums and dad, best believe I’ma finish this for y’all

I got my mind and my physical, spiritual law

Guiding light on the path through the world system

As I spit these lyrics released from my vocal structure

Attack the mic like a vulture, like greek statues

When I smash through the streets with the m-i-c

In my hands, more players my ascention like that ribbon in the sky

I’m living just enough to get by, Lord I try

Can I get a soul clap for all the brothers on lockdown

The brothers on rocks now, with you holdin' the spot down

Can I get a for all the ladies who stand up

To don’t need a man, what?

Can I get get a soul clap for anybody out to get it

If you hustlin', walk about it, don’t spit it

We puttin' the soul back, back together again

And soul clap for women and men

Yeah, momma was good to me, daddy was great too

Growing up was nurishing, helped me to grow like steak do

I’m in the lake, but I’m trying to paddle back

High tide rowin' cadillac

I’m really, but I keep my hopes high

Reachin' for my dreams as I travel, watchin' 'em flow by

I feel so sad, it’s real

Either got you stuck in the city or they blastin' ya

Case is pendin', all these cops harrasin' ya

Survive in my country or it’s back to Africa

they want the blood like Dracula

Hot spots downtown, up

packing up, since you told me I’m cracking up

Head high, look to the sky, ayo that’s wassup

Soul clappin' just another brother that’s rappin'

Like I told you before, it’s time for some action

Can I get a soul clap for all the brothers on lockdown

The brothers on rocks now, with you holdin' the spot down

Can I get a for all the ladies who stand up

To don’t need a man, what?

Can I get get a soul clap for anybody out to get it

If you hustlin', walk about it, don’t spit it

We puttin' the soul back, back together again

And soul clap for women and men
