August 08 Bussdown Your Soul

AUGUST 08 is 88rising’s secret weapon. Writing hits for Joji, Rich Brian, and other members of the collective, the songwriter is back to releasing music on his own.

Unapologetic about discussing the ugly truths of life, including his complex emotions about gang violence, drugs, and more, AUGUST 08 is about to dive deeper than he has before into this territory with his new music.

Releasing his brand new single “Bussdown Your Soul” with Barney Bones, the Los Angeles native speaks on materialism and how it may never truly bring happiness. While jewellery, designer clothing, and foreign whips are nice, they’ll never fulfil you to the extent of some good old soul-searching.

“‘Bussdown Your Soul’ speaks to the emotion of being forced to be a part of things you don’t want any part of. In circumstances where you have no choice but to bang or starve, your only choice is to survive,” said AUGUST about his new record.

Lyrics

[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Fuck what you know
Drop tops and hoes
Ice out your chain but can’t bussdown your soul
You can’t bussdown your soul

[Verse 1: AUGUST 08]
Lost out on money with love (Love)
They call me emotional cuh (Cuh)
Numbing the pain with the drugs (Drugs)
Back on the Eastside (Ra-ta)
Gun shots (Baow, baow)
On life
Fuck all these niggas and they fake lives
No face, no case, on life
(In the drop top)
Pull up on the homies on that old shit
Fucking politics and bitches ’til the morning
You ain’t got your put all, you ain’t all in
She said

[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Fuck what you know
Drop tops and hoes
Ice out your chain but can’t buss down your soul
You can’t buss down your soul

[Verse 2: Barney Bones]
Cortezes at the funerals (Funerals)
Gun powder in the cuticles (Uh-uh, uh-uh)
We out here as usual standing on the front line
Throwing shit up, ’cause I was sleepin’ outside the tents went and got more
I had to shoot back like, ba-dam, ba-dam, ggrrra, pah
Bought a new chain cause the flock went up
Shawty lie to me, like nigga you don’t

[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Fuck what you know
Drop tops and hoes
Ice out your chain but can’t buss down your soul
You can’t buss down your soul

[Bridge: AUGUST 08]
I got stardust in my eyes
And I can’t keep ’em closed tonight
I got stardust in my eyes
And I can’t keep ’em closed tonight
I got stardust in my eyes
And I can’t keep ’em closed tonight
I got stardust in my eyes
And I can’t keep ’em closed tonight

[Outro: AUGUST 08]
And baby you know I’m scared
I’m a beach boy
On the Eastside, cruising down bullets
With a skin and scar
I’ll be in the fast car
Riding in a stolen whip
[?]
Oh woah
