Nothing New - Ab-Soul, Jhené Aiko

Hello, good morning

This is mourning, just a feeling I reckon

I cut on the beat and if I feel it I wreck it

I heard I got fans and friends playing my records

I’ll visit as soon as I can, you can bet it

Don’t forget that dash in my name when you print it

It’ll make me feel bleak like Jay’s apprentice

Niggas looking real meek soon as we step in it

I’m a God MC not a polytheist

And why is your reaction always so obvious

Let a reverend run in my adidas

You’ll see that despite all these dislikes I am like Jesus

Don’t follow 10 commandments

But I don’t seem to break to many of them either

Try to understand me

Obama said «yes we can»

But that can’t be

Cause we was raising money for his campaign

T-shirt, plates, and mugs

But won’t do the same in our own community?

What the fuck…

I said what the fuck?

And it ain’t nothing new

All I do is eat, sleep, and shit

Reflect on my life

Find the perfect words to rhyme it with

Ain’t concerned with what ain’t been confirmed

And I got the right, think I’ve reached the point of no return

How’s it going, good afternoon

I’m doing swell I hope I can say the same for you

It’s funny though, I could have just told a lie

And made it true to take the mood

You think I am what I ain’t

Like a saint or fake

We could go toe to toe, you’re choice it’s no debate

Soul brother number 2

And every single one of my dreams is coming true

I try to smoke weed to give me the fix I need

But it always ends up with me running out of tree

In sheer disbelief

Tell me how I can get high as the sky and keep my ear to the streets

At the same time, no diamonds in my watch

Can I still shine, will anybody watch

If I could hold you attention for at least a minute

You’ll gain so much wisdom you’ll need to see a dentist

Grow up in my society see why I’m a menace

And obviously ominous to your opinions

Call myself the King of Carson like I hold dominion

Hoping nobody notices that I had no permission

I don’t mean to disrespect when I express

My vision was meant to connect not to reject

Don’t press eject…

I said don’t press eject…

Soul!

And it ain’t nothing new

All I do is eat, sleep, and shit

Reflect on my life

Find the perfect words to rhyme it with

Ain’t concerned with what ain’t been confirmed

And I got the right, think I’ve reached the point of no return

It ain’t nothing new to me

Should be nothing new to you

Let’s accomplish the impossible

Free in body, mind, and soul

No idea’s original

It’s nothing new under the sun

It’s never what you do

But how it’s done

If you base your happiness around material, women, and large paper

That means your inferior not major…
