[VERSE 1 - melodic] You better pour into your spirit, baby, fill your own cup first, ’Cause the world’ll take your innocence and leave you with the thirst. Dreams don’t grow in shadows, you gotta step into the light, Put your faith in your own two hands, let your purpose take flight. Every blessing got a blueprint, every gift needs time, You can’t shortcut greatness — you gotta climb your climb. So plant your seeds with intention, let your roots run deep, ’Cause the harvest hits different when it’s yours to keep. [CHORUS] Ain’t nobody gon’ give you somethin’ for nothin’ Somethin’ fa’ nothin’ ain’t nothin’ It’s gon’ cost you somethin’ — oh yes it will Listen, young thing… don’t you be so trustin’. Honey child, keep your third eye open, and your OATH to your SOUL unbroken — [VERSE 2] Temptation wears perfume, sweet as grapes on the vine, But that sugar‑coated trouble got a price tag every time. Some folks smile in your face while they’re eyein’ your shine, Tryna sell you shortcuts that’ll set you back in time. But you’re built from somethin’ sacred, somethin’ strong and true, The moment you forget, the world’ll choose for you. So walk with your wisdom, lead with your light, And trust your soul enough to tell wrong from right. [CHORUS] Ain’t nobody gon’ give you somethin’ for nothin’ Somethin’ fa’ nothin’ ain’t nothin’ It’s gon’ cost you somethin’ — oh yes it will Listen, young thing… don’t you be so trustin’. Honey child, keep your third eye open, and your OATH to your SOUL unbroken — [GOSPEL HOUSE MUSIC BREAKDOWN - Heavy vibrating bass, and a walking trombone] [BEATNIK MOMENT] [BEGIN SPOKEN WORD - NO SINGING] If you were lost, sweet thing, you have been found. Walk this way to the Electric Church of Coffy Town. Invest in your forever. Your family is the bank. An arsenal of weapons A wealth of knowledge A grand library of history of how tribes stick together Who is a slave on a family farm? You could teach and share if you weren’t distracted; You already know what was redacted, boo. It was you… They'll have you livin' in a bakery beggin’ for your own bread. Sweating in a factory till you've got one foot in the grave Have you living single when LIFE is about unity [END SPOKEN WORD] [RESUME SINGING on risers] Soul Trust— Invest in your forever. Soul Trust— Keep your family together! Soul Trust!— [FINAL CHORUS] Ain’t nobody gon’ give you somethin’ for nothin’ Somethin’ fa’ nothin’ ain’t nothin’ It’s gon’ cost you somethin’ — oh yes it will Listen, young thing… don’t you be so trustin’. Honey child, keep your third eye open, and your OATH to your SOUL unbroken —
