(Chorus)
(x3)I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world

hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
felt the joy and the fear

finding myself making every possible mistake



BKS, Craig B., what's up? (It's the Best Kept Secret!)

[Verse One]

They used to call me the future
A month later say, "$#&@ it, I'm growin' used to him"
See they use me

Then they the new me
Though I recite it like it Lucifer's loose leaf
But you ain't never pleased

Maybe you should leave
And find a New-Port
And I don't mean no loosies

Nor Desi Arnaz
Though many aren't as poetic as this though
Many on-sites claim prophetic, they is

Professing they found one ready as this
So tell me I ain't %#@!
Go and embellish it a bit

But I never break a sweat
It takes effort to conflict
So if they better than the kid

I guess I'm Leftwich cause I still get to win
Dig?
And what you heard is thunderin'

No Vince Young, I did superb on the Wonderlic
New Soul


[Chorus]

[Wale talking over the Chorus]

Go ahead and google the Wonderlic test. Ha ha
Shout out to all the Freshmen. Asher. B.O.B. Scotty, what's up?
Wiz Khalifia. Drizzy Drake. Wale.)


[Verse Two]
See, most sites will give me three and a half

Four on a good day, but this morning I missed a cab
So let me tell you about this guy
He hit me on AIM, I respond, he replies

Like, "You sick Wale. Real talk, no %#@!tin'
I love what you're doin'. I'm just hopin' you continue
Allow me to give you couple tracks that I'm pitchin'"

I decline for the moment he unfollows on Twitter
Huh?! Now ain't that a (*##$ or two
Sideways ^!$$%s keep tryin' to make them Bishop moves

Now concentrate until you get the Juice
But I'm done teachin' ^!$$%s though it's school
^!$$% this class

^!$$% this cash
And I've been puttin' in work, ^!$$% just ask
Hot 97, Y'all I was just at it

So you can see why they mad, look at they status
New Soul


[Chorus]

[Verse Three]

Yeah, I never dreamed of a gift
And I've been uplifting the people I'm with
To speak from the soul and just leave it with them

With an impending mixtape that only seems like a myth
And things seem to conflict
New soul verses the O.G. it seemed as a hit

But it seems like a scene outta flick
It seems to remind me of a scene like this
!@%(yze and persist

I decide up my pride is just why I resist
That's why I conflict with the why, when and ifs
The Jiggas and the Tips
The Ems and the 50s
And I'm the $#&@in' best, never mind if you iffy

So while the world goes Drake crazy
I'm Danny Granger
I'm just workin' with a different Pacer
Speed up, patience, please cause
Slow and steady wins this race

$#&@ leadin'
New soul
