[Intro – Big KRIT:]
What happened to the soul food?
What happened to the soul food?
I’m talkin’ good eatin’, good seasonin’

[Hook – Raphael Saadiq:]
Out here in this world, just tryna make it
Everything I see, sometimes I can’t take it
But damn I really miss those times
That soul food’s on my mind
Mind, mind, mind

[Verse 1 – Big K.R.I.T.:]
Grandma’s hands used to usher Sunday mornings
Now before Sunday school, I hustle and I’m on it
I can’t slow down, nah, a dollar and a dream
In this life you live, you’re either the dealer or the fiend
Leanin’ horizontal
The acrobats on the corner, they flip
So when them white vans pull up, shawty, we dip
Out of view, could’ve been a track star at the school

Atlanta’s Coachella 2014 Headliner

Verse One: Andre

One for the money yes uhh two for the show
A couple of years ago on Headland and Delowe
Was the start of somethin good
Where me and my n—a rodes the MARTA, through the hood
Just tryin ta find that hookup
Now everyday we look up at the ceiling
Watchin ceiling fans go around tryin ta catch that feelin
off instrumental, had my pencil, and plus my paper
We caught the 86 Lithonia headed to Decatur
Writing rhymes tryin ta find our spot off in that light
Light off in that spot, known that we could rock
Doin the hole in the wall clubs, this s–t here must stop
Like freeze, we makin the crowd move but we not makin no G’s
And that’s a no, no

Verse Two: Big Boi

Yeah, uhh, check it
Ahh one two, ahh one two doe, n—as
in the Cadillac they call us went from Player’s Ball to ballers
Puttin the South up on the map was like Little Rock to bangin
N—as say motherf–k that playin, they payin
We stay in layin vo-cals, locals done made it with them big boys
up in dis industry, Outkast yea dem n—az they makin big noise
Over a million sold to this day, n—az they take it lightly
Ninety-six gon be that year that all y’all playa haters can bite me
…around this b—h
