[Intro: Jhené Aiko]
This is a story about control, my control
Control of what I say, control of what I do

And this time I'm gonna do it my way
I hope you enjoy as much as I do
Are we ready? I am, because it's all about control

And I've got lots of it

[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]

Soulo ho, the one and only
You ^!$$%s know me, your (*##$es want me
Determination, I got a grip

9-5 locs I am not a Crip
Blood, sweat and tears, hotel tiers
Your short term tall tales won't sell here

And Ms. Aiko told me let my soul sail here
Let me get a "hell yeah"


[Hook: (Jhené Aiko) & Ab-Soul]
(Open your eyes) You ^!$$%s know what it is
(It's about that time) Soulo on one again

(It's been a hell of a ride) You ^!$$%s know what it is
(We live one hell of a life) Say Soulo on one again
I'm still on my %#@!

$#&@ em, $#&@ em, $#&@ em
They still on my dick
You ^!$$%s know what it is

(Open your eyes) You ^!$$%s know what it is
(It's about that time) Soulo on one again


[Verse 2]
Manipulating minds
Reciprocating time spent on my amazing rise

Said I was the underdog, turns out I'm the secret weapon
We can see you half-stepping, I should somersault
Some are salty that I made it in the way I did

Cause I really did everything I say I did
Let me tell you why I'm vexed
The same reason why I'm stressed, the same reason why I'm blessed

I stopped praying, and I started planning
I stopped playing, and I made it happen
We mapped it out, and now the map is ours

Raised my stats all from records, check an almanac
Thank god punchline knew I had a knack
Down to die to get my point across like craps

Control System, cut off your radios, cut off your television

[Hook: (Jhené Aiko) & Ab-Soul]


[Verse 3]
Truth, I'm turning their heads and I'm earning respect

Grinning cause ^!$$%s ain't know I was next, pinning this %#@! in the wind
Literate as Oscar Wilde, bringing the terror and tearing the concert down
The spliff will get lit up 'til we look like we come from Chinatown

Missing Alori Joh, it's been a minute since I saw her smile
She's the reason why I go as hard as I do now
$#&@ a foe cause I'm focused as four bifocals

I'm prone to leave a vocal booth totaled for the right total
The bad boy, you boys #~!!@ as Total
Or Dorothy's dog Toto, I'm telling ^!$$%s

I'mma need a few wings like Frodo, I can't say YOLO
Because I've been here before, so def that I've been reborn, Soulo


[Outro: (Jhené Aiko) & Ab-Soul]
(Open your eyes) I know you can see me
(It's about that time) They ain't goin' believe me

(It's been a hell of a ride) Nothing was given
(We live one hell of a life) We still living
