In My Soul - Donovan, Badi

feel the vibration, my soul awakened

turn off the radio connect the pod start playing

cause soul music is about risk taking

and putting all my heart and soul into the creation

so if i worry too much about the payment

if I just worry but all the dough I’ll be making

then man, that’s when I’ll know I’m mistaken

when prostitution becomes my sole (soul) occupation

people looking starved, say they already ate

well lets look at what’s being served on ya plate

I start investing time into digesting

without any question to the chef’s direction

but now I know it when I hear it

the sound and the lyrics that speak to my spirit

I’m sayin, I want to feel it in my chest

when the beat drops I nod my head yes

put a hand in the sky for the boom bap

or I can get down with a soul clap

I love the type of track that I keep bringing back

real food for the soul and we all need that

I need to feel it in my soul

take me where I want to go

bringing it back give me some more

let the music that control

you can feel it all over, feel it all over

feel it all over, I feel it in my soul

you can feel it all over, feel it all over

feel it all over, I feel it in my soul

yes yes yall i gotta story to tell

I’ma take you to the place where the soul music dwell

take you to the basement, where you find records

just sittin on the shelf, a place I know well

it’s like that man, I remember back when

before I ever had thought to start rappin

I was singing in the choir, lifting my voice higher

which I guess would explain why I

keep doing this, musically influenced by

that soul music my folks &ly supplied

it was always just playing in the house

so I loved just staying in, playing in the house

as a kid, I would listen to my father

sitting on his lap and that marked the start of

my own journey, a natural transition

from jazz to soul, r&b I would listen

and hip-hop, a draft of history

s&le the past then add a little bit of me

so with each track I take what I’ve learned to give back

cause I don’t mind making what I earn

I need to feel it in my soul

take me where I want to go

bringing it back give me some more

let the music that control

you can feel it all over, feel it all over

feel it all over, I feel it in my soul

you can feel it all over, feel it all over

feel it all over, I feel it in my soul
