Heart & Soul Lyrics

[Intro: YoungBoy]
Went to jail, came home
Jason (Haha)
Man, say, I-I feel good, nigga, I don't—
And it's— you know, my first time being on the mic, nigga
Went to jail, came home
Who am I? Like, aha, who was I?
You know, I guess words don't even matter
You know we moving forward
Went to jail, came home, time passed, went back again
All the pain I felt inside myself
Thought it would never end
I just thought I would blame myself
Can't even blame my friends
I was criticizing myself like
You ain't never gone win

[Chorus: YoungBoy]
Kentrell, you got to man up
You done had all these kids
I'm like, "Kentrell, you got to stand up
It's your time, I see it"
I'm like, "DeSean, thugging
You just hustling backwards
Nigga, you done won
I just fail to accept that you not good for anyone"
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
I can feel it in my soul

[Verse 1: YoungBoy]
They say that he ain't gone be here long
I see myself on top the mountain
I'm smoking strong, I'm keeping strong
No more riding with that window down
Hanging out, tryna lay them down
My soul, I still ain't think I found
When I tell bro on the phone
I ain't even been worried 'bout no jewelry now
So my girl don't want her a bust down
I ain't even been worried 'bout the jury now
I been wanna do right since I touched down
I been watching the way I influence now
I ain't post not a picture, I moved on
I'm responsible to all these children now
Even though they label me teflon
Back into my normal home
Back inside my closet, putting that VLONE on
Daughter born, I had to listen while sitting on the phone
First time got her in my arms like
"I can't leave you alone"
With all these thoughts on top my dome

[Chorus: YoungBoy]
Kentrell, you got to man up
You done had all these kids
I'm like, "Kentrell, you got to stand up
It's your time, I see it"
I'm like, "DeSean, thugging
You just hustling backwards
Nigga, you done won
I just fail to accept that you not good for anyone"
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
I can feel it in my soul

[Verse 2: YoungBoy]
I ain't beefing with all these niggas
Don't even mention me
They gone kill me if they can
No need for dissing, come get rid of me
I'm grown now, I'm a man
So tell 'em, "Ain't no time for sympathy"
I been holding all these bands
Don't give a fuck 'bout who not feeling me
Or into me, intimate, not no consistency
She ain't into me, yeah
Having you, you don't know what it meant to me
It ain't get to me, nah
Every time you said that you ain't shit to me
Even though you meant the world to me
Going straight even though you curving me
I ain't worried 'bout all that courtesy
Heart on top my shoulder now
I'ma sleep on top Burberry sheets
Can't take no pill but I'm rolling now
Can't drink no lean but I'm focused now
Can't smoke no dope but I'm loaded now
Can't tote no gun but I'm strapped right now
Lil Top on top of the map right now
Been dead but nigga, I'm back right now
Keeping this shit on track right now
I don't take no Adderall
Pure washing make my feelings dissolve
Phone ring, I decline that call
When it's trouble, I get back with y'all
My hair hang on top my eyes, it fall
Through the rain, I'm seeing through all this fog

[Chorus: YoungBoy]
Kentrell, you got to man up
You done had all these kids
I'm like, "Kentrell, you got to stand up
It's your time, I see it"
I'm like, "DeSean, thugging
You just hustling backwards
Nigga, you done won
I just fail to accept that you not good for anyone"
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
I can feel it in my soul
