Hip Hop Soul/The Stelow

[Intro]

Mm

Yeah

Uh

[Verse 1]

Static on the line from the radio waves

Grandma's station spinning gospel through the haze

I record the sermons on a dusty tape deck

Sample the choir till the morning light breaks

Old hymns and hi-hats gettin tangled in my mind

Sacred and the street side both got a place to shine

Papa's work boots by the door and the Sunday fan

Just a boy with a beat pad tryna understand

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't shake the feeling

Soul runs deeper than the ceiling

Every heartbeat is a track

Every scar is a stack

[Chorus]

Hip hop soul in my veins

Church bells and the train tracks sing the same refrain

Take the pain turn it gold

Soul in the rhythm and the rhythm in my soul

Hip hop soul let it roll

Echo through the alleys where the lost ones go

[Post-Chorus]

Soul

Soul

Hip hop soul

[Verse 2]

Storefront preacher on the corner with a megaphone

Talking bout redemption in the middle of the zone

I catch his cadence and I flip it to a drum

Soul food on the stove and the bassline hum

My uncle in the kitchen with a spatula groove

Tapping on the counter like he got something to prove

Everyday I'm carving out a space of my own

Borrowed from the blood and the everlasting tone

[Pre-Chorus]

Can't shake the feeling

Soul runs deeper than the ceiling

Every heartbeat is a track

Every scar is a stack

[Chorus]

Hip hop soul in my veins

Church bells and the train tracks sing the same refrain

Take the pain turn it gold

Soul in the rhythm and the rhythm in my soul

Hip hop soul let it roll

Echo through the alleys where the lost ones go

[Hook]

Soul food

Soul truth

Soul rooted in the booth

[Bridge]

Raised on two traditions

One for the spirit one for the mission

Both of 'em carried through the generations

Both of 'em breathing in my vibrations

[Chorus]

Hip hop soul in my veins

Church bells and the train tracks sing the same refrain

Take the pain turn it gold

Soul in the rhythm and the rhythm in my soul

Hip hop soul let it roll

Echo through the alleys where the lost ones go

[Outro]

Mm

Soul

Yeah
