Dreams (Intro)
[Intro]
Yes!
This the Old Soul mixtape
Going on some old school beats, new school beats
How bout we go in on this?
Yo

[Verse 1]
First track on the beat
Feels so original
Standing straight on my feet
This risk I take isn't typical
If it wasn't me, who could it be?
No MC can even contest with me
See
I took my time to mix the flow right
Every twist and turn is just to make my tracks tight
Bumpin through your system all day and all night
Yeah
Even through the whole fight
Catch me rootin for the one with more might
By now noticing the unusual
Clever rhymes conveyed so casual
Nah
Seperated and studied the beat
Deliverin rhymes became my feat
From the classics to the king's speed
Always made sure I had a seat
It's their seed left leading me
To something unconceivably determined
Never vermin just concernin what we're really learnin and servin
To the youth that just listen and impression what we leave for em
Just hope they don't believe in boredom
I'm tourin
Looking through the vast ocean floatin toatin motion
Don't leave in such commotion
One with potential leading to the eventual demise
Every day in class wonderin how I'm gettin wise
Just repeating "don't despise" and "steer clear of lies"
So many tries, luckily I stay alive
Keeping motive with the drive, what up
Keeping motive with the drive, what up
Yeah
[Interlude]
I just wanted to create this mixtape to see what I could do musically and have fun, do my best, learn, as much as I can
And hopefully you enjoy it
Let's go. Uh

[Verse 2]
Hoppin back on the track
Never relax, never wack, spittin crack, out the trap
Double tap if I'm with it
Won't just hit it and quit it
But enough of that
Let's bring back the rap of a time before all the smack
I'm talkin music with a message
Not just flexin
Somethin to teach you a lesson
Paintin pictures of the past like lookin through the hourglass
Spittin fast and precise and we can even keep it nice
You know I'm
Chasin dreams
Killin fiends
Bein mean
With my team
Plottin schemes
Gettin green
PSYCH-
I'm just playin with y'all
Truth is spillin while the beat falls
Couldn't write a verse til 18
Legally killin the game with lines going foreseen
Thought about why my tape is taking so long
But I couldn't just tackle every song
Gettin the flow right was the first challenge
Then the beats to compliment and manage
Real shit that's tippin right off the tounge
Upbeats songs that'll leave you sprung
Been so long need to see this become
Without Old Soul we won't get to see the outcome
