“I’m growing up, my daddy planted a seed My momma watered me with a plan to succeed I was that kid in the ghetto, hand full of seeds But I’m here now and I don’t plan to recede.” 🔥🔥🔥
If you don’t list this as one of the greatest hip hop songs ever you don’t know about life. Great composition. Great word play. Real gangsta but straight up about life. 💯
"The life you choose comes from lack of options sometimes. Gotta do what you gotta do, even opting to crime. And who am I? Without name dropping it i'm, someone who saw the top and didn't stop, he just climbed. Someone who's getting money without dropping a dime and transform to your leader in my Optimus Prime.." WHAT!! #BARS. I still love the whole Soul Tape 2 and this is my favorite song. Plus, those bars are my favorite out of the whole CD
my second favorite verse on that album. first one is "And I’m not one who favors using words like had I’m into having shit, turning dreams to average shit Bring your trophy to the club, Dallas Maverick shit"
Everybody, hats off to this man. He didn't go to them diddy parties. That's why he didn't get the radio play he should have. He's a modern poet. Fabolous... well done every time.

Facts
That line " I'm here (Hair) now, and i dont plan to receed" is sooo sick! like 10 years later and I just got that!
I'm here now (hair now) and I don't plan to receed
Sometimes I think I lucked up (looked up) at the right time; imagine if I fucked up that nice line
THIS IS ALL IN References TO the same analogy/topic
HES HERE NOW & ISNT GOING BACK (gonna keep leveling up being successful)
HE LUCKED UP with the position he made it to, but choices he's made coming from his background he could've thrown it all away
METAPHOR
Hair receeding is your Lineup going backward away from your forehead, or also if you barber doing too much on your lineup and takes too much off the front, that can occur of you move your head, of look up when the barber is telling you to hold your head down while he lines you & fucks up your nice line
WHEN HE PICKS A TOPIC & CAN FIND a way to correlate 2 things at once metaphorically, THERES NONE BETTER than FAB
@@Bbow2005he actually said "imagine if I fucked up that night slime"
It's "imagine if i'da fucked that night slime"

Fab went bananas on this …. Bring bars back
This song is a certified classic.
The soul tape series is one his best projects imo
Still here in 2025. One of the best tapes ever. Fab is terribly underrated not talked about enough
This whole song is sonically a masterpiece from the word play to the piano 🎹
Some people don't understand fabulous word play is impeccable no lie just listen
Boy I'm going through some shit but this song keep me moving

Absolutely.
This is hands down one of the greatest tapes in Hip Hop, Loso spazzed

When I heard this in 2012 it automatically became my favorite track of all time and still is
One of my top 5 mixtapes. This came out my senior year what a time to be alive
I was in the Navy on restriction. 60/60 reduction in rank.
Loso snapped on this joint 🔥
It’s that time of the year. Hoodies and Soultape season I could cry a thug tear.
this seasoned flow right here. he trancsended to the upper echelon withb this one he one the greats give him his flowers.
Fab flow, lyrics,content,and delivery makes him a top ten rapper of all time just my opinion

Released on my birthday I'll forever love this mixtape
Nah we needed a video for this joint
His best album hands down
Never slept on Fab when you can pull a bar from ever verse and quote it it’s poetic at that point
"The life you choose comes from lack of options sometimes. Gotta do what you gotta do, even opting to crime. And who am I? Without name dropping it i'm, someone who saw the top and didn't stop, he just climbed. Someone who's getting money without dropping a dime and transform to your leader in my Optimus Prime.." WHAT!! #BARS. I still love the whole Soul Tape 2 and this is my favorite song. Plus, those bars are my favorite out of the whole CD

Korey Sylver soul tape 2 is my favorite out of the series
Spincrossup799 thats a fact
Korey Sylver telling u bro so many people sleep on fab omg most slept on ever period lbvvs
my second favorite verse on that album. first one is "And I’m not one who favors using words like had
I’m into having shit, turning dreams to average shit
Bring your trophy to the club, Dallas Maverick shit"
You know is the greatest cause he follow the GREAT & QUOTES THE GREAT - that’s Big Fab 🔥
Fab has always been a beast but he never gets the recognition he deserves because his studio albums were not as strong as his mixtapes.
So thats why? 🤔🤔I always wonder why he wasnt main stream. but.... His bars be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Everybody, hats off to this man. He didn't go to them diddy parties. That's why he didn't get the radio play he should have. He's a modern poet. Fabolous... well done every time.
