Soul Purpose Lyrics

[ VERSE 1: Esoteric ]



There's a lot of cats out there that's doin this now



And a lot of cats out there that threw in the towel



Some are new to the style, so they take time to learn



Other cats want burn, they can't be concerned



With the time it takes, rhymin takes, so they violate



Grab a pen, begin to gather men



Form a crew of new jacks that never knew jack



That never knew wack, that never knew the old boom bap



Make the track, the illegit, the counterfeit



The snare sounds like a kick



You're full of shit, you ain't been doin this long



I'm fresh, Grandmaster Caz said it best:



"You can't buy a mic at a quarter to 2



And be a real MC before the day is through"



Rap today is a circus, underground or surface



Know why you're doin this, kid, the soul purpose







(Soul)



(You know the deal)



(Soul)



(You know the deal)



MC's come and MC's go



But they can't fuck around with the way that we flow



It's called the

MC's come and MC's go



But they can't fuck...







[ VERSE 2: Esoteric ]



Cats on the underground, they like to run around



And throw the word done around with no gun around



Distributors be actin funny like clowns



They buy now, pay later like the money down



Fuck that cause we got to pound through it



And rough muthafuckas up if it comes down to it



Pose a threat, so what you hold a Tec



And go to war for nothin like a homeless vet



I bet your ass don't weigh 90 pounds wet



Down at the sound check I caught your ass with a broken neck



You know my rep, so you know the steps, go 'head, slide



Tell your story walkin like a tourguide



Cause my peoples ain't tryin to hear that



We to-the-rear that, scared rap cats we stare at



You know the outcome, a power move yo, I'm 'bout one



And show you what it's all about son







(Soul)



(You know the deal)



(Soul)



(You know the deal)



MC's come and MC's go



But they can't fuck around with the way that we flow



It's called the



(Soul)



(You know the deal)



(Soul)



(You know the deal)



MC's come and MC's go



But they can't fuck around with the way that we flow







[ VERSE 3: Esoteric ]



I pulverize, scold the guys on the vinyl



Speak my piece, like gun talk I'm homicidal



Big execs pay the debts on the Lex



I cop the R-o-lex, GoreTex in different sets



It's time to up the ante, you're like a Camry



I'm like a Benz that's ready for the Grand Prix



Of Monaco, your song is so lame



I'm like cocaine to the nose and brain



I'm like a gold chain to the fans of older Kane



You know the name, I'm doin this for the love, the dough and fame



A fool with Technics and some bullshit beats



Need to shut his mouth when the cool kid speaks



My name is Esoteric, that's 7L



Spinna made the track muthafucka, can't you tell?



Dope-ass beats, dope cuts and dope verses



Thanks for your purchase, now peep "The Soul Purpose"

MC's come and MC's go



But they can't fuck around with the way that we flow



It's called the
