Ab-Soul - Nothing New Lyrics






[Verse 1: Ab-Soul]
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?

[Hook: Ab-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

[Verse 2: Ab-Soul]
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!

[Hook: Ab-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

[Bridge: Jhene Aiko]
It ain't nothing new to me
Should be nothing new to you
Let's accomplish the impossible
Free in body, mind, and soul

[Verse 3: Ab-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...

    Why this fools put dislike on this video??

  60. J.... J....

    AbSOULutely SOULuted Ab-Soul for this one!

  61. J.... J....

    What hip-hop music and rappin' is supposed to be, beats and lyrics from a dude that can actually rap. Soulo gives me hope for the next generation of hip-hop artist and music in a world watered down by molly rappin', no talented, ignorant fucks. This new age of hip-hop is definitely not my "Golden Era" of hip-hop but I see Ab-Soul studied and paid attention to those before him...you alright with me brother, keep spittin'.

    J.... J....

    There's a lot of emcees put there rn that are really talented just don't know how to get their foot in the door. Like me haha

  62. B.... M....

    ab soul is one of the most best rappers out. And he not getting his shine like schoolboy q wtf. Ab soul music is deep and connect to your soul. Ab what's up with more good music just keep working in the lab you will get make a fortune it will pay off. Key word don't give up ab keep pushing.

  63. J.... C....

    We got the same watch :D

  64. a.... t....

    llab job interview

  65. J.... S....

    Trying to compare Ab and K. Dot is like comparing Van Gogh and Picasso. It's 2 different artists. Clearly y'all aren't hearing Ab-Soul's Message.... (There is only One)

    J.... S....

    ImStadoc Too bad we don't have that big of catalog from Steez

    J.... S....

    Ya too bad, what he did make was amazing though.

    J.... S....

    ImStadoc what are some good songs 2 start with

    J.... S....

    Free the Robots, Emotionless Thoughts, Capital STEEZ, Dead Prez, Chicago, Infinity and Beyond, Evol Love are some of my favs

    J.... S....

    Steez (and no offense to his music) was an absolute marijuana fiend. Yeah he was awake on a spiritual level, but on a physical level he was always caught sleeping and mumbling. He was uncomfortable in his own brain and that was his downfall. You can't half-ass life like that. You gotta learn to exist in both realms, not spend your whole life, lost in a wonderland, avoiding reality instead of acting in it.

  66. D.... C....

    I wish i could just meet Soul and talk to him about extra terrestrials, politics, religion and shit. he seems alright

  67. J.... R....

    What track did they sample for this?

    J.... R....

    d.... m....

    +warren the MADVILLAIN I'm simply saying the flute sound in this beat sounds similar to the whistle melody in space hos like maybe the same sample or suttin

    Austin parlee you're a dumbass

  74. c.... ....

    If Ab feels a beat, he will wreak it 10/10 #longliveabsoul

  75. E.... C....

    bodies kendrick lyrically basically every verse he makes

    E.... C....

    @OG 2tone I think it's cause he tried harder to make a good album than to spark contraversy like tpab

    E.... C....

    +OG 2tone I think lt2 was a masterpiece. There's not 1 song I skip on that tape. And for the kind of songs he was TRYING TO make I think these days was also 1

    E.... C....

    Anyone interested in my opinion? Ok, Ab Soul is my favorite rapper and I believe he is better than Kendrick. There's no fact about this, they are both great, it's subjective to say who's better. Ab soul is better imo because he goes deeper in his music. Kendrick Lamar is great and really meaningful but he's that cliche of a rapper: "fuck racism, fuck the illuminati, hiii power" (Hiii power was ab soul's idea actually) He says what needs to be said, and speaks to your heart, giving strong messages, reminds me of pac a lot. He's made it to the top and there's no argument about that. However, he is a typical black rapper. Ab soul's music can make the simplest things sound like quantum physics for example anyone listened to pineal gland? How the hell could he just turn drugs to a third eye? He totally deserves respect after longterm and longterm 2,longterm mentality and control system. Take this song for example. It's from longterm mentality album. The whole album gives you a spiritual vibe, his wordplay is amazing, he says something different. Even the music video is just relaxing and colourless. He wants you to pay attention to the lyrics. This whole album puts your mind into higher thinking. Kendrick Lamar on the other hand, tries so hard to speak through his videos lately, he forgot how to rap. TPAB was good but extremely overrated! The beats and his voice were so playful it didn't even give you the feeling of what he was talking about. I wish the whole album was like The blacker the Berry. It's just like that, Kendrick fans want music that speaks to your heart while ab soul fans want music that speaks to your soul and reach levels of thinking you didn't know you had. The problem is, few people can see that, because they're too busy dealing with the "real" World. I can give it to Lamar though, gkmc was a masterpiece!

  76. h.... s....

    Peace. He could've dropped this 5ive years from now and it would still have the same tremendously potent effect on your intellect and your hip-hop appreciation.

  77. S.... W....

    I wonder if soul got to eat her booty like groceries
