SOULSOUP II
The God of the hills
The God that is ill
The God that is real
The soul, the soup
What you gon'
Listen!
This is soup for your soul
In the booth's where its moulded
It's usually coded
But you wouldn't know
So we moved on and sold it over the internet
Remind me of the days I was sober and innocent
I grew colder with the flows when the chorus was finishing
Now I'm a soldier of The Lord, bound by blood
Those obstacles I found my way around like floods
Fire burn the devil's agents tryna cloud my judgment
Amen, Amen... Amen
God blessed the game from the first day I came in
Came in, came in, came in
In Jesus name is how I overcame satan
I overcame satan, overcame satan
And if you feel the same let me hear you say
Amen
Hear you say amen
Let me hear you say amen
Yeah yeah
Yo!
This is food for your soul
Bringing light to the darkness like a school for the old
Brewed on a stove
Its groomed for your growth
Getting closer to The God like a new oracle
What do you wanna know
How ya, leap to the reaping when you ought to sow?
Preached to a deacon who knew all the quotes
Heat seekers seeking to move y'all to cold
City reeking with death eaters who drool for an ode
The world got too cool for her nose, yo
So she started sniffing and blowing
Supposed to live eternally but lives in the moment
Kills her components, popping pills in the morning
If you a thug, she's in love and she'll wanna prove it
All because of the drugs you should coming through with
Oh she's the one you move with?
Well thats's the wrong influence
Cause she's the type to pull the plug if you don't wanna do hits
Daily (daily, daily)
I think she's going crazy (I think she's going crazy)
I see her mind caving
I see her eyes pacing
She spent her life savings
Her life needs saving
Her eyes seem asian
Cause she's been smoking and crying
Tired of joking with fire
Got convicted of her sins by The spirit
And this piece that I wrote for the choir
Sing it
God can't be in my way
God can't be in my way
God hasn't been in my way

Ooh wee
Illgod
Go!
Gotta write a decent plan
On how to release the man
Like prisoners who's sentences finished
I'm in it to win it
The sky ain't a limit, it's just a stepping stone
And if The Lord calls when I'm getting dough
Imma pick heaven's call on the second tone
I'm speaking from the heart cause He already knows
A vessel for His honour so He won't let me go
I leave your ears and the mic throbbing
Bereave my fears, teach my peers when I recite problems
Bringing the light is slight work with my mechanical movement
Burning trees, botanicals oozing
Ain't here for amusement
And my path ain't very confusing
It's crystal clear
Probably diss dudes who be talking pistols here
Keep it peaceful
The only time these people fear me is when I'm
Is when I'm writing in my book of rhymes
Come on
Mehanical movement
Mechanical movement
I be throbbing
C'mon
And I'm blessed beyond measure
To do everyday what I love
What these niggas see as stress is our pleasure
Thespian leather
Is what I'm rocking while I'm popping open options and dropping what leprechauns treasure
It's very unclever
If you thinking that you could sink the cat
Dead body no dey carry pall bearer
Nigga it's all clearer
That they worship images they see in the object called mirrors but
Draw nearer to The Lord is what I'm telling you
Don't fear ain't gotta be worried about revenue
And I'll forever do what He says I should do
And right now His command is leave their ears throbbing with the truth
Illgod brought the beat in
And my rhyming steals hearts I still rob like policemen
Hip hop is the door but to key in
You gotta do it for the love
They'll watch you reign without ceasing
Uh
Illgod Timi Kei
Do this like everyday
You know
On the mic I'm...

I Dunno

Yeah
Bout to find out
Yeah (what's up)
Illgod Timi Kei (what's up)
Why they said it wouldn't work like teachers on a Saturday
But we did it with zero features now they mad amazed
They didn't show no love couldn't get past the hate
Now they applaud atleast they're accurate with accolades
Running from my purpose, foolish as hell
Life was like a bad hair day, music was gel
And I'm a zion lion I know what to do with gazelles
We eat 'em up
Deliver like when a Hebrew foetus drops
Keep it real like he was shot
And he wouldn't speak to cops
Even though he saw the shooter's face
He wouldn't give him up
Keep moving through fumes
Don't get confused or believe in luck
Strictly Spiritual's the move fueled by peace and love
The pews I'm preaching from
His presence is evident
Delivered me from every dependence on medicine
Now I rest, like I'm on several sedatives
But they tryna kill my patience like some medical negligence
And I don't know why
These niggas tryna play me
Long suffering and hustling are designed to cease
Done bothering like custom retirees
These spoilers will try to speak
Just hush 'em and fly to peaks
That none of their eyes could see
Or get stuck like you siamese
I know!
I was chosen for this mission like juvenile delinquent
Holding on to freedom, I move through the Nile this evening
Follow come with Moses who was home and drum composing
Cutting samples
I was rapping crazy hoping someone noticed
Preaching faith cos' the world is often hopeless
Infinite mindset, what you should cut your coat with
Willing to fight like a cop that caught a culprit
When I face the issues of life
See I'm tired of being tired like a Michellin strike
Tired of insignificant hype from the ignorant types
Tired of all the fake love like some instagram likes
Was gifted with life
I'll live it like a vision of light
C'mon!

Yeah
Soul soup
Illgod, Timi Kei
One time
Yeah
Check
The real is back with actual hits
Roll with a clique of cats who can't squeal to the paps or pigs
Talking about the kinda dudes who be attacking rigs
Some action shit
Gats is slick, grab your chic
Aim accurate and arms always ain't apparent
Infinity's quantum is what I make happen quick
Weapons formed against me? Enemies stay fashioning
They lame laxatives
And can't match with this
Gate crashing niggers way faster than race tracks in business
Crave cash in a way that'll make fags diminish
Make hay and grab a witness
Gotta stay mad committed
But only to the purest of causes
Life is entrepreneurship
You'll suffer the losses on a singular level
Before you choose to dance and sing with the devil
Remember life depends on every choice you make
Whenever I'm feeling down I just rejoice with faith
Are you here to fail or proceed to your destiny?
I'm perceiving the recipe's a good reason to respirate
I'll keep feeding you mentally and let it detonate
At the right time, only at the right time
Are you here to fail or proceed to your destiny?
I'm perceiving the recipe's a good reason to respirate
I'll keep feeding you mentally and let it detonate
At the right time, only at the right time
Its been a minute since I refused to be a menace
Be acquianted with the kinda dudes
That'll leave you in and out of trouble on a daily basis
Saying graces turned out to be my saving grace when
Certain tribulations, had me contemplating, taking, certain steps
That woulda left everyone I love hurt to death
I gotta thank God for the gift of playing a beat
Grabbing paper and ink and letting the words direct
Ignoring inspiration could be worse than meth
Not the high itself I'm speaking of the side effects
Why regret when with open eyes you stepped in the lions' den
Their mouths shut under my command
Who am I?
A servant of The Most
Deserving of the fervent blessing of The Holy Ghost
Never scared into thinking that my lyrics won't be quoted
Who else you know control a flow this potent only Moses
Are you here to fail or proceed to your destiny?
I'm perceiving the recipe's a good reason to respirate
I'll keep feeding you mentally and let it detonate
At the right time, only at the right time
Are you here to fail or proceed to your destiny?
I'm perceiving the recipe's a good reason to respirate
I'll keep feeding you mentally and let it detonate
At the right time, only at the right time
Yo
Said it's only at the right time
Only at the right time
(Illgod Timi Kei)
Only at the right time
Check
Soul soup
The recipe is peace
I'll never be deleted
Wrestling with beats
To leave these people mentally strategic
The recipe is peace
I'll never be deleted
Wrestling with beats
To leave these people mentally strategic

Soul soup
Illgod Timi Kei
Yea
Keep my eyes open
Listen
I could do this in my sleep but I keep my eyes open
Leave 'em hypnotized haters hoping that my mind's broken
But even if it is, it's a pure advantage
I'll be curing malice with my poorest ad libs
I do more than manage
Call it damage when I'm dropping ballads
'Cause I want the green and all the salads
Could it be more apparent
Like cross-dressing hermaphrodites
Dudes is boring and barren and dulling but I'm awful bright
And awful nice to these niggas that be impolite
Only priceless souls want the simple life
And only weak nigga think he need to fight
Let the wisdom run loose y'all, we gotta keep it tight
We gotta feed the light
Quit the hype, living right
With more patience than a preacher's wife
Teach it twice;
To a brother and you'll find
That you'll have this knowledge like a lover in due time
But I don't think they know
But they will
And it'll show
For sure
I don't think they know
But they will
And it'll show
For sure
Know that there's a wolf underneath the wool
It's unbelievable
I hid the sun beneath the cool
And my reign is here
I'll let the thunder sing the tune
Slaying fear is the job
And I just murked the interview
And I pray, to be safe from sin
And for the grace to keep facing men with hate within
Evaded them but it's part of my purpose to be changing trends
That don't make any sense
Gotta stay faithful in
Any craft that your hands find
Before you know it every single track be blowing up like a land mine
I'm like it's damn time
I got mad rhymes
Talk about styles?
They tried to cramp mine...

Sound so sweet
So soulful
Soulsoup
Yeah
This is soup for your soul
In the booth's where its moulded
It's usually coded
But you wouldn't know
So we moved on and sold it over the internet
Remind me of the days I was sober and innocent
I grew colder with the flows when the chorus was finishing
Now I'm a soldier of The Lord, bound by blood
Those obstacles I found my way around like floods
Fire burn the devil's agents tryna cloud my judgment
Amen! Amen, Amen
God blessed the game from the first day I came in
Came in, I came in
In Jesus name is how I overcame satan
Overcame satan, overcame satan
And if you feel the same let me hear you say
Amen
Oya say amen
C'mon say amen
Listen
God saved me first so I had to submit my life as a tool
To show you that the truth shall set you free
And make you live for eternity
I'm liking this school
And everyday to day it's everyday
You're white or black
No time to segregate
I'm talking every single second
And every single minute
And every single hour of every single day
It's the realities of new birth
Put my mind at ease, my view perfect
Deleted rivalries
Inflicted insanity on the peops who kept trying to hurt me
It's the realities of new birth
I put my mind at ease, my view perfect
Deleted rivalries
Inflicted insanity on the peops who kept trying to hurt me
No time to be sorry
God's blessings came in a hurry
In the form of love, good health and money
(AND IT ONLY JUST BEGUN)
Yeah
Because the path of the just is like a shining light
That shines more and more unto a perfect day
Shaaa!!!!!!!!

Comin' Home
03:28
|
|||
Alright.....yeah
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
You ready?
Listen! Yeah!
Kicking crooked niggas out the temple
I'm the physician that God has sent to
Heal the broken hearted
While I kill the foes regardless
Of they skill I'm close to heartless
When I do His Will
Sinking gees who don't wanna be cool and chill like
Drinks in freezers
Welding wicked works
Well we wordsmiths were well written with worse
Wealthy worship
I fell deep in His purse
Helped me purchase kingdom service and its perks
See I tried to get away but I had to return to base
No time to feel ashamed I believe in the Word of faith
Your home is where the heart is
I had to recoin the phrase
So your home is where you lay up your every treasure
All the gold is what I gave up for heavenly pleasures
For my soul's eternity, all these melodies severed
All my poems for therapy and their energy centres
Are gonna be converted for only His heavenly methods
Coming home like a prodigal son
Coming home like a horny husband hoping for some
Coming home like I missed my mother's cooking
Coming home like a player that got another booking
My writings' meant for enlightment
Not the blind intent of a cypher spin
I'm the mind dementor
It's cool like ice and menthol
To lose blood on occasion cause life is menstrual
Like women before menopause
I put the beat on my chest and they go bananas when I spit gorilla bars
Beasting on a verse you could feel the buzz
Gotta think like a janitor just to feel my flaws
Then and only then could you feel the flows that be coming from a homie's pen
My one and only friend
Used to be a lonely fiend
Now I'm redefined as I attack and let the flows defend
Me against every unforseen event
They say they in the house but mediocrity is rent
Atheist now 'cause philosophy is spent
Laziness is the acquaintance to make poverty a friend
Coming home like a prodigal son
Coming home like a horny husband hoping for some
Coming home like I missed my mother's cooking
Coming home like a player that got another booking

You Can
04:04
|
|||
Yeah
Let me take off my shirt and flex my muscles
It's all for you baby
Where you at?
Come through, come through
Let me spit something I wrote for you
Yo
'Cause I get
Goosebumps when you pass by
And you've won in a landslide
If it ever was a matter of voting
Need to get you alone and leave your bladder provoking
And your ovaries and whatever else is up there
Show you love, care
And all those things that stop fear
How could you think that I would ball when you were not here
Don't leave me in the dark it's not fair
See
'Cause if you choose to you'll leave my screws loose like only you can
And I could shoot you if I cruise through and ya holding new hands
This ain't no open romance
We should be eloping to France
Throw what you used to in the loo too
We revoking old plans
Discover new ones
Make you disappear, serial killer style
See I plan to leave your lover clueless
But it's only with your permission
I'm hoping that I can get it
Me cooking rhymes in the bed
You moaning up in the kitchen like,
"Ooh, look what you done baby.
I was living in hell until you come save me."
I'm like, "Yeah, that's how we do it."
I'll be drowning out your problems cause my mind is fluid
Come play with my instrument
You know it's time consuming
I got a message for your ex,
"Don't try me stupid."
Baby you could be Aphrodite and I'd be Cupid
Rule your world like the mighty Zeus did the ancient Greeks
I promise that I, will never lay with freaks
And even if I do it won't be on your favourite sheets
I love you and I need you very much to say the least
I was made for you
Away from you is where I hate to be
You were made for me, you're everything these women claim to be
You don't only look but taste good, you're very savoury
Superwoman with no cape on
The type to make a G put on a apron;
And shun his homies hastily
Stay with me
Don't go nowhere, don't go nowhere no
I'm so prepared to show you love
Don't go nowhere, don't go nowhere no
I'm so prepared to show you love
This is like a eulogy to hate
Who woulda thought that you would be with me
You deserve a jewellery buffet
'Cause you think like a queen and you usually don't do what people say
You, you
'Cause you deserve it
You, you, you, you, you
'Cause you been working
You, you, you, you, you
That's how you earned it
You, you deserve it
What's up
You deserve it
Baby only you can
Get away with what you doing
And I'm a new man
Courtesy of your improvement
Say baby you can
You can, you can, you can, you can, you can

The Word
02:08
|
|||
Yuh
My revelation of The Word made flesh
Is the reason I can stretch my hands on the oppressed and
Supernaturally U-turn an aids test, you
Wanna remain stress free?
Then get the master key
It's The Word
Every other vehicle is gonna hit a curb
When you fail to service and replenish with The Word
Its like medicine and herbs and food for your mind and Spirit
I advise you to build up your life
With
The Word, The Word
The living, breathing Word
It's quicker and more powerful than anything you heard
It's sharper than a two-edged sword
In the beginning Jesus was there with The Lord as the,
As The Word
The Word, The livi-ving breathing Word
It's quicker and more powerful than anything you heard
It's sharper than a two-edged sword
In the beginning Jesus was there with The Lord
Listen
It's either logos or rhema
It's never bogus I understand through my helper
The Holy Spirit
I've got a sure word of prophecy
No time for phony gimmicks
So when I give voice to His Word bro, I know He's with it
Standing on the integrity of His Word
That's faith
With His hand He's been carrying me along
That's grace
Watch me grow and grow
From nothing at all to gold
And if you're somebody who's wondering how better know
It's The Word!
The Word
The living breathing Word
It's quicker and more powerful than anything you heard
It's sharper than a two-edged sword
In the beginning Jesus was there with The Lord as the,
As The Word
The Word, The living breathing Word
It's quicker and more powerful than anything you heard
It's sharper than a two-edged sword
In the beginning Jesus was there with The Lord as the
As The Word
The Word, The Word, The Word
In the beginning Jesus was there as The Word
The Word, The Word, The Word
God The Performer, Saviour, Everlasting King
It's THE WORD!
(NOW THINK OF THAT!)

Better Days
03:22
|
|||
Say hi to better days
Good bye to never paid
Decided to set a date
I'll lie with destiny
She tried to get away, I kept her with my charm
Protecting her from harm
I'm definitely the one
For her and she know it, she show it
Whenever we caught up in the moment
This poet is potent
Throwing the antics all away for my better half
A hopeless romantic on today and forever's path
Its time to elevate (uh huh)
My mind's at heaven's gate (uh huh)
So angels keep me away from mac eleven strays
Haters wouldn't be strong enough if I came back in seven days
To match the greatness of my better days
I'm passed my apex who are them to say
I'm lascerating every masquerade
Cut you open, take your mask away
Ain't no day better then when the fakers pass away
Now I'm making cash and dames are dashing to my path hurray!
The better day-ays the better, the days
The better day-ays the better
I waited and I prayed
For the better days
And they finally came my way, The Better Days!
The better day-ays the better, the days
The better day-ays the better
I waited and I prayed
For the better days
Yes I believe they're here to stay
Yo
Better days are here I been waiting too long
Yes I came prepared, to educated your ears
Better days, never fazed, houses in the everglades
Presence of my enemies
Where The Lord has set the table
His blood is speaking better things than those you heard from Abel's
Started off mimicking everything from shows that aired on cable
And now they're trying to get this prophet's head on Herod's table
But this is take two, so they already failed boo
Salt of the earth let me marinade you
I serenade too, and educate fools
Working hard so my kids can have a great view
And excel at whatever it is that they do
Can they choose?
Not before they show they're very grateful
To The Lord and His Word and His grace upon em
I'm just in awe of His Love and they claim I'm fronting
Tell em I'm back
It's the brother that came from nothing to better days
The better day-ays the better, the days
The better day-ays the better
I waited and I prayed
For the better days
And they finally came my way, The Better Days!
The better day-ays the better, the days
The better day-ays the better
I waited and I prayed
For the better days
Yes I believe they're here to stay
(Why I no go sing give you praise for the better days?)
(Comot all the fear for my body I no dey hesitate)
Why I no go sing give you praise for the better days?
Why I no go sing give you praise for the better days?
Comot all the fear for my body I no dey hesitate
And I no longer need to be medicated
Better days
Better days
Better days
Good bye to yesterday-ay!

Fragile - Smoke A Joint
04:52
|
|||
When last did you smoke a joint?
I'm not talking of the rolls of marijuana or cigars
Or the Benson & Hedges that put us on edge
Darkens our lungs and before long we're gone
All black everything in the funeral of another carefree novice
Gone without a moment's notice
Know this, that I
I'm talking of The H.S.
When last did you get drunk?
I'm not talking of the red wine or the bottles of Star
that stops you from shining
Or the Magic Moments of unmagical moments when you're robbed blindly
Or the Orijin of unoriginal sins
Or the White & Mackays or Andres that lead you astray
I'm not talking of the burning liquor
that feels like the flickering flames of hell as it goes down your throat
Please note
That I, I'm talking of The H.S.
You know the problem with the church today?
It's that the youths spend too much time being sober,
Instead of being hungover.
Instead of being intoxicated by the Word of God;
Staggering under the weight of the anointing,
Speaking in tongues,
Driving lives under the influence of The Holy Spirit.
We go about with our eyes wide shut.
Seeing things that are not there.
Praying to things that cannot hear.
Putting the stories of our hearts in the hands of fate,
Instead of submitting it to The Author and The Finisher of our faith.
It almost feels like a Zombie Apocalypse,
when I see young people who are spiritually dead.
If only we smoked often;
We'll be healed of our glaucoma 'cause we're spiritually blind.
We say we are the head and not the tail, yet we fail,
Still sitting in ignorance till we're now - behind.
If only we got drunk often and bottled our worries in prayers
We will not worship at the altar of immorality and expect mortal men to save us.
You know what God told me?
He said, "Your make up isn't the colours that you put on your face
but what I predestined you to be."
Can't you see?
Best believe that your foundation isn't the sticks,
the liquids or the creams but our God.
And though we might try to conceal our sins,
we forget that The Revealer of all Things is our Lord.
So I wonder;
why I hunger for drop dead gorgeous men and ignore the Giver of Life.
Sinner that I am,
Why do I chase after men that make me weak in the knee,
when I can find strength on my knees?
So I sin.
Every time, I do as I please.
And in doing as I please, I forfeit peace.
In my defence,
"How do I know what the truth is when I base my life on movies?"
Oh and by the way, I perfected the art of being a damsel in distress.
But I get distressed,
When my knight in shining armour sees me as a damsel not worth the stress,
I get depressed.
He loves me, he loves me not.
I'm pulling on flower petals wondering if I'm special,
when its clearly written in The word that nothing can separate us from The Love of God.
My knight in shining armour called me fat so I started dieting.
I stopped eating bread.
I stopped eating The bread of Life.
In order to look good, I started taking supplements
instead of my daily nourishment in order to get his compliments.
I fed on his bread of lies.
I forgot I heard someone say.
He talked about Jesus and the fashion of today.
He said, "Jesus took lashes for your lashes. He said,"Jesus took nails for your nails."
So if only I smoked often I would know I was made in the image and perfection of The Creator, formed to do the Master's bidding.
When last did you smoke a joint?
When last did you get so high,
you reached a realm when you touched the hem of the robes of The Most High?
When was the last time you called on the name of your God with confidence? You said, "Jah!", without having dreadlocks and a head-warmer?
When?
Some of us can't even pray for ourselves.
We'd wake up at midnights in our PJs and call the pastor and say,
"Please pray" and then he says, "Take" and you say, "I receive" but if you understood His Grace,
you would know it is more blessed to give than to receive.
When last did you smoke a joint?
When last did you puff, puff, pass to another sinner in evangelism?
The promises of the Kingdom carefully rolled in our rizla of brotherly love;
Let me tell you.
We were given lips to kiss the 'claro' of God's Word through faith,
But wait.
If the Bible says, "Out of our bellies shall flow rivers of living water",
why do we get intoxicated on earthly spirits and vomit curses and hate?
This is the message from the Ministry of Divine Health.
Smokers of the Holy spirit are liable to live, and not die.
So when last did you smoke a joint?
