Reason features 9th Wonder on part 3 of “The Soul” song (+Lyrics)

American rapper and songwriter, Reason, delivers the highly anticipated part 3 of his soulful track titled “The Soul.” This captivating song features the talented artist himself and is skillfully produced by the renowned 9th Wonder.

Reason is going to be dropping a brand-new album in just nine days from now. Overall, the TDE artist is beloved by his fans, and his supporters have been waiting on a new body of work. His last full-length LP was in 2020, and since that time, he has been teasing new music. However, on Tuesday, it was revealed that he would be releasing a 17-track album called Porches. Some great artists will be on the album, including Zacari, SiR, Baby Tate, and even August Alsina, among others.

So far, we have already heard some of the singles from the project. That said, on Wednesday, Reason decided to come through with a new track. If you are a fan of his, you know of his “The Soul” series, which typically is released prior to a new body of work. These tracks never make the final album, which makes them akin to Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart” series. Having said all of that, “The Soul Pt. 3” has finally arrived, and it does not disappoint.

Throughout this track, we get some wonderful, soulful production from the likes of 9th Wonder. Moreover, Reason is a real joy to listen to thanks to his bars. His flow stays steady throughout and his lyrics are as sharp as ever. If anything is for certain here, it’s that his new album is going to be fantastic. With all of the added features, a classic could be on the horizon.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Classic shit, nigga
This shit sound like
Like gold rose to the fuckin’ top
‘Cause niggas came from the bottom
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, look, soul

[Verse]
This sound like gold business, nah
This sound like build me empires my kids’ll later retire off of my old business
This sound like Hov business
REASON here like excuses, look, I’m nuisance
They can’t keep up with my own [?]
Ain’t no reason to doubt REASON, the shit ain’t got no reasonable doubt in it
The era of clout finished
We tired of house niggas, we straight off the couch couches
It’s change comin’, rain comin’, take out your ponchos, the drought finished
Look, I can kick the raps and push the tracks and take the feeling, bring it back like refunds
Don’t need the gas, C-CON
We buzzin’ now, infinity and beyond
Y’all don’t kick the shit y’all even be on
You know the fake drugs and pushin’ tracks, tired of y’all pushin’ that
Niggas age infinity and beyond, that’s all you got to speak on
Y’all don’t follow Elon?
Y’all ain’t pavin’ roads for the future mini me’s and mini you’s to be on
That ain’t what me and P on, it’s beyond
Why would I TikTok if the Rollie do?
And why would I thank y’all? It’s the Holy Ghost that put these quotes in me, soul in me
I came up with power, I know 50, don’t diss me
You buildin’ a casket, it’s so risky
Nigga, I can never stop, too many goals in me
Why now when I’m drivin’ it feel like the road’s empty?
It used to be crowded, I used to be doubted and now I get the most, “I knew you would make it”, the frivolous statements
Ain’t no more space on my dick, the shit has been taken
Ain’t no more choppin’ the bricks, my niggas done made it
We had fear of police raids and now we at a time where niggas can police aid and still keep sellin’ records
I’m born in the wrong year, if you gave me all the pieces, I can put this shit together
Nigga, shout out to my nieces when I’m rich, they get whatever
Gotta know money don’t make the man
A walkin’ hypocrite ’cause once I got paid, I became him to them bitches
And never trick on ’em, we don’t do the frivolous spendin’
And if she ain’t a church, why the fuck would she get some Christians?
If there’s me and perfection, the fuck you gon’ tell the difference?
It’s God image, it’s high livin’, my mind gifted
The time tickin’, don’t give a fuck about a hook, I’ll rap until I’m finished, nigga I’m REAS’

[Outro]
