Soulful Stuff

I Met This Girl When I Was 12 Years Old
And What I Loved Most She Had So Much Soul
I Would Unfold Every Story She Told
And There Were Many, She Taught Me Like Jenny
In The De La Soul Song, Anything Goes Wrong
Then I Tell Her In The Form Of Acapella
All The Fella's Haven't Met Her, Can't Forget Her
Once You Have Done, She Took My Heart For Ransom
So Now I'll Talkabout Her To My Grandson
More Spirit Than A Phantom, Living In A Mansion Is Irrelevant
In Touch With The Elements, Hailing From The Tenements
Of Residential Settlements, They Said She Was American
But Never Bin Confined To A Place Or To Space Or To Time
See Her Face When I Rhyme To Remind Me
Adjacent To Mine Is Her Soul, And It Graces The Lines On The Scroll
I Told Her All About Every Fight In My Home, Now You Know

She's Made of Soulful Stuff

Somebody I Was Honored To Discover, Common Used To Love Her
Persuaded A Grown Man To Write A Sonnet To His Mother,
Never Following Another, She's The One
Forever Ever Telling Me To Turn My Speakers On
See Beyond The Surface, On The Beat And On The Verses
Often On The Street She Converses, Maybe Speaking In Curses
Frequently Nurses The Skill, But Then Again Us Rappers Are Ill
Happening Still, Many Say That She Is Happy To Kill
Thats So Inaccurate I'm Laughing At Her Faboulous Feel
Cos I Know Her And She Knows Me Too
Fortunately I Am Now One Of Her Chosen Few
To Offer Overviews Of The Soldier Who Overthrew
Chains On The Neck, Not For Fame or Respect
Nor The Name Or The Reputation
Saw Kids Who Never Went To School And Gave Them Education
