[Intro: Kanye West]

Yeah, DC

Stand up for your boy Ka Ree

I go by the name of Kanye To The

The Roc is in the building

And as far as I'm concerned

We about to bring that real soul back to the game

John Legend on the backgrounds by the way

Let's go


[Verse 1: Kanye West]

From what I hear Kanye is killing the game very bad

My girl rocking the little lamb that Mary had

A l ittle bit of Ghost’s style mixed with Mos' style

I'm versatile I'm the poster child

Getting cheese so I'm suppose to smile, get it

We making hits like Sosa now, hit it

And I hate when girls acting bougie as hell

And I already seen them naked like Blu Cantrell

If I talk to people like they stupid as hell

Do that mean God gone make my kids be stupid as well?

Well, our father please forgive me

I am a sinner slash winner slash soul inventer, (Come on) uh


[Refrain: Kanye West]

It's so soulful man

It's so soulful man

So soulful man

And when you hear it, swear it feel like soul food man

It was so soulful man

It's so soulful man

It's so soulful man

And when you hear it, swear it feel like soul food man


[Verse 2: Khayree]

Look, my mami don't be playing

'Cause she know I got my game intact

I spit them lines that make a rapper have a brain attack

And chickens know that I'ma do it how I wanna do it

And miss communication, no we never run into it

I got chicks like Simone and Cala

Stay with lip gloss and Fendi bag beside her

And your girl said you ain't ready for me

I'm in love so Mommy got me singing Tina Marie

How you bomb in Giovanni, she in Gucci and Prada

Chilling in a Mirada, studying like a scholar

So I don't even bother, I be popping my collar

I can get into your soul when I call you tomorrow

Come on


[Refrain: Kanye West]

It's so soulful man

It's so soulful man

So soulful man

And when you hear it, swear it feel like soul food man

It was so soulful man

It's so soulful man

It's so soulful man

And when you hear it, swear it feel like soul food man


[Bridge: John Legend]

I know you got a lot of stress today

Let's hit the party like we just got paid

Now if you really want to get away

And say yeah, yeah

Got people on your back constantly

And you never get a second to breathe

You know you gotta get a way with me so say

Yeah, yeah


[Verse 3: Consequence]

I'mma worry about the trade then ball then try and trade it all

I'd rather catch up on my paper and invade the mall

You sore losers picked the wrong guy to take the fall

I probably trade in the fall for what they made in the fall

Went from a never quite was to an overnight was

Cause the way I flip a metaphor nobody quite does

By the time I leave the club, I'm wearing a public arms

Cause he must have been a pro the way see the pros and cons

They calling this the army, money boys are we

Say jay b hopping down when I'm trying do my laundry

But I ain't even sorry for the way I get my dough

Cause J, Khayree and Kan got that food for your soul, go


[Refrain: Kanye West]

It's so soulful man

It's so soulful man

So soulful man

And when you hear it, swear it feel like soul food man

It was so soulful man

It's so soulful man

It's so soulful man

And when you hear it, swear it feel like soul food man
