Ab-Soul - W.W.S.D. Lyrics






More than a man, I been died and rose again, yeah
Fast life, slow motion - {These Days}

[sample of Jackson Browne's "These Days" (Ab-Soul):]
Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking {These Days} (I gotta stop smokin' cigarettes)
{These Daaaaays} (yep)
{These Days} I seem to think a lot
about the things that I forgot to doooo, for you (man)
And all the times I had the chance to

(Yo, how the fuck my new girl got me jealous of other girls?)
(I think I live in another world) And I had a lover (fuck!)
But it's so hard to risk another {These Days} (These Days)
{These Daaaaays}
(Ay, he wrote this shit when he was 16 he said)
(This is, I'm 27, this is like my whole life)
Now if I seem to be afraid (like this second, yeah)
To live the life, that I have made in sooooong
(You know all I like to do is keep it real - Soulo, hoe)
Well it's just that I have been losing, soooooo long
(Can I win one time? Yeah, yeah this that pain you was talkin' about)
(Can I win one time? Uh, uh)

So many pills I should have slipped already (yeah)
My lungs the same color as my lips already (yeah)
Expensive clothes and sufficient funds
Me and my bros switchin' hoes just for fun (yeah)
The money and bitches is all we care about
Very far from home if you worried about my whereabouts
Chasin' the light at the end of the fuckin' tunnel
Pray for Sydney, send Tia a text, tell her I love you (I love you)
The devil is a lie, never let him persevere
God took my angel and left me here, it's Heaven here

[sample of Jackson Browne's "These Days" (Ab-Soul):]
Well I'll keep on moving, moving on (yeah)
Things are bound to be improving {These Days} (it's Longterm, this shit real)
I love These Daaaaays (it'll all make sense one day, my nigga)
(I've even been on songs with Common, it's crazy)
{These Days} I'll sit on corner stones (can't stop me my nigga, yeah)
And count the time in quarter tones to teeeen, my friend (uh, yeah)
Don't confront me with my failures (can't achieve success without failure, baby!)
I have not forgotten them

Diggin' for gold in these codeine bottles
Trying to picture potential in these Instagram models (like)
Information racing around the Internet
Before the iPad was invented, I had a pad of writtens
Smokin' a cig on the side of the house tryin' to figure it out
The axe didn't cut it, moms told me cut it out
Clem told me always take pride in my work
I clutch the mic with blessed hands at all my concerts
Why his name Soulo? How is he so smart?
We can see his four footprints in the sand when he walk (Black Lip Bastard)
I like to refer to myself in third person from the third person (3's)
That's a out-of-body experience of self (yeah)
So I can see me for me and no one else
Don't need to see a Emmy, award or no jail (Soul)
I'm at them like a cell, I just want to be free
All this chatter from the chattel nigga, I don't speak sheep (yeah)
This TDE and nothin' beyond that (infinite)
Told Du-Dog I don't even need to read the contract (hahaha)
Yeah, as if some legal documents can stop me
Legalize, legal lies, legal eyes so I see
I did it while you were sitting wishin', ask my nigga DZA
All my verses hearses leavin' {Church's}, not the cheap chicken (yeah!)
And I love the beast coast but what about the best one?
What's your life without a soul? A dead one

(Yeah Mac, you ain't got bars like that Mac!)

I pray for the mother I have in this life. Ressurect her spirit

  16. j.... ....

    I wonder if Mac was in the studio at the time? Maybe he was the one who gave the inspiration to use the Jackson Browne song

  17. k.... ....

  23. E.... m....

    LISTEN TO JACKSON BROWNE

  24. i.... ....

    this is the closest you get to a black Kurt Cobain considering how honest they kept to themselves as a person and the content. real talk this is beautiful my kids will probably end up hearing this one day and figure some shut out about life sitting somewhere like I have myself.

  25. R.... H....

    How did this song not make These Days...? How???!!!

    R.... H....

    Yeah that's what would make sense I guess. But damn you're right, this song is so differently good

    R.... H....

    Is not his song.

    R.... H....

    Nic ... he literally took the entire Jackson Browne song and spit his verses on the breaks already in the song.

    What are you talking about?

  26. A.... 1....

    What happened my homie? Why dont you quit the drugs and Isaiah death and come home?

  27. J.... K....

    what's your life without a soul? A dead one..

  28. J.... T....

    How'd he even kill a vers on this? When I heard this at first I thought it was a troll until I heard his voice G.O.A.T

  29. t.... l....

    You aint got bars like that Mac

  30. H.... M....

    sLOW motion

  31. G.... H....

    c'est tellement bien

  32. D.... R....

    Nearly two years later and I'm still here. I've always visioned that Mac would be on the other side of the soundproof room when Soul says "you ain't got bars like that Mac" haha.

    D.... R....

    Brother Mac really is on the other side now, waiting for us all beside the lord. Hope u doing well Devon, May God bless you

    This was cut from These Days two years ago.

    D.... W....

    Nah.. Drake fans arent allowef here =/ That shit isnt real hip hop at all, they would never like this type of hip hop. Drake fans are all 13 year old girls

    L.... T....

    🖤 facts

  44. N.... ....

    Im glad ppl sleep on ab because he music takes u time to think about. What He says. He's by far my fav artist from Tde. Im glad that radio not playing him like kdot music. The whole tde smash on lyricism alone. I really feel that absoul has better bars out of the tde. Just my opinion just because has a different style which u truly have to listen to understand. Can't wait how he gon f our mines again 😂😂😂😂😂 on his next project.

    N.... ....

    couldn't agree more dude! theres an interview w inspectah deck where he's asked who he likes nowadays and literally the only going artist he gives props to is ab-soul.

    N.... ....

    preach 🤗🙌

    N.... ....

    @Gabriel Crislip Which interview was that?

  45. P.... H....

    Fucking amazing song

  46. d.... ....

  47. L.... Z....

    Jackson Browne and Ab-Soul? Mother of God.

  48. M.... ....

    That's the perfect song to listen to at the beach with a coldass beer.

  49. l.... ....

    Would have liked to hear Mac's reaction haha

    l.... ....

    Him and Mac cool they homies

  50. J.... R....

    Ab-Soul is amazing. He truly inspires me to change the world through my writing.

    J.... R....

    Do you also write about swapping hoes with your friends?

  51. j.... j....

    the axe didnt cut it, mama told me cut it out.

  52. D.... S....

    "iDon't do black music. iDon't white music. iDo everyday life music." *kendrick Lamar...
    Thts word to the people, who doesn't like this song just because it has a lil country feel to the sht. Its all about the message, and if you don't get it. You'll end up being lost in your own curiosity, and fall into ignorance.
    #AllUGottaDoIsListen

  53. B.... J....

    Winn Dixie music😂 but I feel it

  54. B.... C....

    D.... J....

    @***** lol "experimenting" hahaha. dude you listen to corporate rap. the most commercial shit there is. you don't know what art is man. I do know more about hiphop than you, im saying you specifically, not everyone else. So keep listening to that experimental Drake and Childish Gambino, wow such true art, so original lol

    D.... J....
