Description of Sopadelic
Young Bull’s debut full-length album, Sopadelic, was created over a period of 2 years–during which Young Bull developed from a after school experiment into a touring live band with a rapidly growing organic following. This project spans from the hard-hitting jazz-inflected hip hop of the first track “Egyptian Joint” to the smooth, sultry R&B of the final track “Let Down Your Guard.” In between these capstones, there exists an enormous variety of sonic development.
Rapper Christian Sinclair, who would later become the third member Young Bull, is featured on several of the project’s more energetic tracks, including their innovative reggae-trap fusion on the track “Voicemail.” This track is followed by Young Bull’s first-ever song “Can’t Get You Outta My Head,” which shines through as a downtempo, neo-soul track rooted in a grooving bass line and behind-the-beat drums. Sopadelic was Young Bull’s first major commitment–a self-legitimizing release that is just as powerful today as it was when it was first hit the stores in the summer of 2016.

[Chorus]
I’ve been around the world
I’ve been around the way
I’ve been in New York City
I’ve been to L.A.
I’ve been (oh), so many places
I’ve seen (oh), so many faces
I’ve come to the realization that
This is all I need
[Verse 1]
Let me explain it
I thought that I made it
But I was still lost in the matrix
My tongue is tied, I cannot speak
My eyes were blind but now I see (see, see, see…)
Every single night I take a nice long ride
Out in the country where I can fly
Doing 95 with the stereo high
That’s when I think about you and I
And I am free
If you wanna go and take a ride with me
We can bump Nelly till we fall sleep
Girl relax, you can leave it all to me
I’m a smart motherfucka with a law degree
If you get into trouble you can call on me
Girl nahhh, I was just playing
Let me get back to what I was saying cause
I’ve been around the world
I’ve been around the way
I’ve been in New York City
I’ve been to L.A.
I’ve been (oh), so many places
I’ve seen (oh), so many faces
I’ve come to the realization that
This is all I need
[Talking]
Yeah…
See I’ve been giving it some thought…
And I realize that…
I just don’t wanna be without you…
Everything, everything that I see my future…
I see you in it…
You are what I need…
It’s you…
(let’s get it, ah)
(ah… ah… yah…)
[Verse]
Friday night again
Talking 2 a.m
She disappeared from sight again
Oh she’s crazy and I know it
But there’s nothing I can do
She’s got me
(Girl talking)
I thought that she loved me
(Girl talking)
Never looking back
Gotta live with that
But she’s always on my mind
Oh she’s crazy and I know it
But there’s nothing I can do
She’s got me
[Bridge]
I want her back

Staring down at the sidewalk
Thinking bout another day
Keep saying I don’t ever talk
Well I got nothing to say

But you keep on pressing me

Pack my pockets full of reefer
And now that I’m free, and now that I’m free
Free up on my feet
You give me headache so I get some medicine
I light it up like i’m Edison
We wasn’t working no more it was evident
I’m feeling better than better
I’m tellin’ you babe
Everything’s straight

I blew it bag, put the rest in the safe

(Ooh)
I hit the scene and I bet you they say

Tell me what you want and I’ll give you what you like
See, I know my rights
[Big mile high]
No says the government, but government they lie
I just might

I just might pop me a bottle
I might pop two and get wavy
I’m not as tall as a models
But I’m still a mac with the ladies
Yeah you take me back or you trippin’
But I might just hit it and ditch ya
‘cuz right when the digets get bigged up niggas get switched up
Imma go ghost in the ghost yeah, yeah
Wait ’till I get on my wave, yeah
She like 90210, yeah
I tell her I’m finna stay there
I’ve been cold, I admit it
I had shows in the city
I got hold of the livin’
And I got gold on on me drippin
Hoes on me different
Oh this is livin
And now i’m on when you see me
You don’t like me how I changed up
Wait ’till you see me on TV
Wait ’till it’s all in your face
You say you wish it was back in the day
Now it’s all different, come back where you stay
But now that I’m in it, I’m happy this way
‘Cuz I hit the scene and I bet you this way
(I say)
(Ooh)
I hit the scene and I [left] you this way
(Ooh)
I hit the scene and I [left] you this way

Tell me what you want and I’ll give you what you like
See, I know my rights
[Big mile high]
No says the government, but government they lie
And now that I’m on my own
I’m feeling free
Lights low and I’m at home
I roll my tree
(Yeah)
[Chorus]
At this game I am losing
I feel so misused and
It’s really confusing
Miscommunication
And I’m feeling agitated
(Oh yeah)
[Verse]
(See listen)
I don’t feel like wasting
I been up all night playing 2k in da basement
Now I started pacing, losing patience
So amazing
How one word to one girl can misconstrue what I’m saying
Call it miscommunication (miscommunication)
And I miss you but you wylin (but you wylin)
And I ain’t seen you in a while man (nah nah)
No I ain’t seen you in a while man
When I text you and you don’t reply
I get all in my mind like
Did I say something wrong
Is she feeling my songs
When we talked about spending the weekend in Charlotte girl are we still on
Girl, I ain’t never want nobody the more than I want you
(Listen See)
Hoes in my phone telling me to come through
That’s true, you knew
Eyes on the prize and I’m tryna get a clue
So won’t you tell me what it is girl what you wanna do
(Yeah)
At this game I am losing
I feel so misused and
It’s really confusing
Miscommunication
And I’m feeling agitated
(Oh yeah)
I misspoke when i said “hey”
I got so nervous
I shook your hand
Lost my eyes
In all your curveage
You said your name
It was engraved
In all my worries
That you like things
That my life ain’t
And this won’t work and
You
Next to me
As we lean
On the wall
There’s a beat
In the back
You could sing
I had bars
You feel that rush?
Oh
You feel that rush
You got me high
For real thats us
And this cold world could kill that buzz
So let’s spend time by the penny
Make me feel alive for a minute
Wait
Wait
You’ve been running miles by the many
Running through my mind when you’re in it
Wait
Wait
Always been a guy with some women -hide in my feelin’s – only you and I it was different -why is it when it -when i feel a fire i get fridged – smile that i give is such hard work
I took those pills i rolled up still it just got worse
It just got real i just lost feel but touch dont hurt
And talk won’t either
But i might say what i dont mean so stop your speaker
[Verse 1]
I can’t get you outta my head
The way you laugh at all the stupid things that I said
Don’t you wanna come inside
I can help you ease your mind
But, I can’t get you outta my head
[Verse 2]
You, you knock me off of my feet
Turning all the head’s girl when you walk down the street
Like who’s that girl that’s so damn fine
I just want to make her mine
Oh, girl you knock me off of my feet
[Bridge]
Ohhh
I’ve been thinking bout you everyday
Wondering if you’ll ever come my way
Oh, there is no denying
Girl I’m trying
Oh so very hard
Just to have your heart
I can’t understand you cause
Nothing that I do’s enough
All I know is I’m in love
And honestly babe
I can’t get you outta my head
Noooo
I can’t get you outta my head
[Vamp]
No
I can’t get you outta my head
No no no no no no no
No
I can’t get you outta my head
No no no no no no no
[Verse]
I come home and find you on my couch
Didn’t know you had the keys to my house
What if I don’t want you hanging around
Maybe I should up and leave this town
[Chorus]
Don’t count on me
Don’t count on me
Don’t count on me
Cause I’m tired of frontin’
I know
You know
You’re messing with my conscience
[Verse]
Cigarillos gutted on the floor
Stole my pillow ran out the front door
Honestly the mess I do not mind
Just get out before I lose my mind
[Chorus]
Don’t count on me
Don’t count on me
Cause I’m tired of frontin’
I know
You know
You’re messing with my conscience
[Bridge]
If you’re tired of trying
If you feel like crying
Don’t for a tissue
I don’t really give a muthafuck about ya issues
I’m not tryna be short though
I’m being honest moreso
I’m just telling you bro
If you come again I’ll go crazy like Cujo
I’m telling you please
[Chorus]
Don’t count on me
Don’t count on me
Don’t count on me
Cause I’m tired of frontin’
I know
You know
You’re messing with my conscience
[Verse]
Something in the way that you move babe
Tells me that you’re in your own league
Pump some tunes and we can just groove babe
Let those hips just sway in the breeze
[Chorus]
Cause she sophisticated like a burgundy brew
She stay faded for whatever she do
Oh I think she coming back
But know that she’s bad news
Sexy and she know it too
[Verse]
Not to put you on the spotlight
But I can’t help but notice your eyes
Stealing looks at me like I’m crazy
Well I can show you one crazy night
[Chorus]
Cause she sophisticated like a burgundy brew
She stay faded for whatever she do
Oh I think she coming back
But know that she’s bad news
Sexy and she know it too
[Vamp]
You think you’re some kinda queen all high and mighty
The way you keeping it clean I think you might be
Mystery
You are a mystery to me yes me
Why aren’t you kissing me
Mystery
You are a mystery to me yes me
Why aren’t you kissing me now
Sharpshooter what have you got nothing you can’t do
Well do you want me or not, can’t understand you
Mystery
You are a mystery to me yes me
Why aren’t you kissing me
Mystery
You are a mystery to me yes me
Why aren’t you kissing me now
Just want to find myself
Want to find myself
Just want to find myself
[Verse]
Lately I been thinking
How come we get right to the precipice
And leave it all behind
I’d cut myself off from you
Though I know that, that was really always true
I never do
[Chorus]
I just want to
Find myself alone with you
Feel your tender skin on mine
Know it may not last
We’ll be just as free as the trees
And the grass
[Bridge]
It happened once again
I’m alone and you’re right next to him
I can’t figure you out
(yeah)
Don’t you know
[Chorus]
I just want to
Love you for a day or two
Feel your tender skin on mine
Know it may not last
We’ll be just as free as the trees
And the grass baby
Oooo yeah
(Just snap ya finger ya’ll woah)
[Vamp]
I just want to find myself alone
I just want to find myself alone
I just want to find myself alone
I just want to
With
I just want to find myself alone
I just want to find myself alone
I just want to find myself alone
I just want to
With you
I just want to find myself alone
(Just want to find myself)
I just want to find myself alone
(Find myself)
I just want to find myself alone
(Just want to find myself)
I just want to
With you
[Verse]
Close your eyes and let your hair down
You ain’t gotta be
You ain’t gotta be scared
I can stay wake until the month June
From the tension in this room
[Chorus]
So let down your guard girl
The moment is fleeting
It doesn’t have to be hard girl
Let me make it
You can make it easy
[Verse]
I can’t tell you what you want girl
But I can show you how to get it, oh yeah
Something bout this conversation, this situation
Seems to have my tongue slipping
[Chorus]
Let down your guard girl
The moment is fleeting
It doesn’t have to be hard girl
You can make it
We can make it easy
Feel yourself but never fake it girl
As long as you’re honest
We’ll come through I promise
Trust your body heat
Nothing in the world can stop us now
So hold your head back girl and just breathe
[Chorus]
So, let down your guard girl
The moment is fleeting
It doesn’t have to be hard girl
You can make it
We can make it easy
