[Intro: Jhene Aiko]
This is a story about control, my control
Control of what I say, control of what I do
And this time I'm gonna do it my way
I hope you'll enjoy this as much as I do
Are we ready? I am
Cause it's all about control, and I've got lots of it

[Ab-Soul]
Soulo hoe, the one and only
You niggas know me, your bitches want me
Determination, I got a grip
Nive-five locs, I am not a Crip
Blood, sweat and tears, hotel tiers
Your short-term tall tales won't sell here
And Miss Aiko told me, let my soul sail here
Let me get a 'hell yeah'

[Chorus: Ab-Soul] + {Jhene Aiko}
{Open your eyes} You niggas know what it is
{It's about that time} Soulo on one again
{It's been a hell of a ride} You niggas know what it is
{We live one hell of a life} Say, Soulo on one again
(*chant of "Soulo, Soulo, Soulo, Soulo..." in the background*)
I'm still on my shit
Fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em, they still on my dick
You niggas know what it is
{Open your eyes} You niggas know what it is
{It's about that time} Soulo on one again

[Ab-Soul]
Yeah, manipulating minds
Reciprocating time spent on my amazing rise
Said I was the underdog, turns out I'm the secret weapon
We can see you half-stepping, I should somersault
Some are salty that I made it in the way I did
cause I really did everything I say I did
And let me tell you why I'm vexed
The same reason why I'm stressed, the same reason why I'm blessed
I stopped praying and I started planning
I stopped playing and I made it happen
We mapped it out, and now the map is ours
Raised my stats all from records, check an almanac
Thank God Punchline knew I had a knack
Down to/two die to get my point across like craps
(Wooooo...) Control System
Cut off your radios, cut off your television
'Soul!

[Chorus]

[Ab-Soul]
Truth, I'm turning their heads and I'm earning respect
Grinning cause niggas ain't know I was next, pinning this shit in the wind
Literate as Oscar Wilde, bringing the terror and tearing a concert down
The spliff will get lit up till we look like we come from Chinatown
Missing Alori Joh, it's been a minute since I saw her smile
She's the reason why I go as hard as I do now
Fuck a foe cause I'm focussed as four bifocals
I'm prone to leave a vocal booth totaled for the right total
The 'Bad Boy', you boys pussy as Total
or Dorothy's dog Toto, I'm telling niggas
I'ma need a few wings like Frodo, I can't say YOLO
cause I've been here before, so def/death that I've been reborn, Soulo

[Ab-Soul] + {Jhene Aiko}
{Open your eyes} I know you can see me
{It's about that time} They ain't gon' believe me
{It's been a hell of a ride} Nothing was given
{We live one hell of a life} We still living
