Artist picture
Souleye is a positive and energetic lyricist with poetic phrasing and flowing styles. He was given the name Souleye on a vision quest at the age of 21. Born in 1980 in Old Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts to a Native American Father and an Italian Mother, he grew up listening to hip hop and was influenced early on by rappers such as Talib Kweli and Tupac. By the age of 14, he was rapping, freestyling, and writing his own songs. By the age of 20, he was making his own beats, performing and producing his own music. His musical style can best be described as eclectic, experimental hip hop with a spiritual focus. His beats weave together an intricate mix of deep bass and beautiful rhythms that include anything from jazz riffs to chanting Tibetan monks. His innovative rhyme schemes incorporate heart-felt messages about higher consciousness, soul searching, positivity, self-acceptance, socio-political commentary, and transcendental meditation. To date, his biggest inspirations are God, birds, family and friends, and everyday life. His unique lyrical approach and ingenious freestyle skills allow him to share insightful positive messages that are both motivational and mind opening.

This is a song about my brother and my best friend who passed away, The song talks about death and grief and the strength of faith and hope,
Lyrics
Artist: Souleye and Chach Title: Saved Verse 1: It was a warm summer day I felt the earth under my toes. That type of feeling that you never let go. Beyond beautiful, The Holy Spirit held my hand and walked me down a heavenly road, It’s been hard though. Back to back funerals at times it is unbearable terrible, confusing loosing a living Soul that is so tangible, Death is unchangeable Faith gives me the strength, The power to pull me up when I am down if you’ve lost some one close to you then you know how I feel, It’s like screaming with no sound having tears that just don’t want to fall out, A sudden wave of emotion emerges to the surface while the Angle of Death awaits to take your final breath, The challenge is how to live your life and Balance it, Realistically after the Eulogy usually comes Agony that time of acceptance when you let that Soul Free. Chorus: Liven my life to the fullest every day Now, Down on my knees giving thanks I’m gonna pray Now, Facing my fears ain’t no time to be afraid Now, I’m gonna live my life, Verse 3: He was one of my first friends, My best friend, growing up we where inseparable, we use to play ball, He’d call me mj we’d snowboard all day, puff jay’s work all summer so we could save money for the winter, When I was hungry he’d share his dinner. He gave much more then a friend could ever ask for, At times I want to scream to the Lord why did you take him aboard, Is he Ok? Is his Soul in Heaven up in the sky? And when I die and I arrive to the other side put us on a heavenly mountain and let us ride, All the way to paradise In the mean time memories will keep him alive, his smile’s always present in side of my mind, like a living dream I close my eyes and he appears to me standing dancing healthy like the way he use to be before the cancer cells and the chemotherapy,, Oh Rest In Peace… Chorus: Liven my life to the fullest every day Now, Down on my knees giving thanks I’m gonna pray Now, Facing my fears ain’t no time to be afraid Now, I’m gonna live my life, Verse 3: I’ve got a picture of my brother and his three year old child, The type of picture that can make any one want to smile, And by the looks of it no one would be able to guess that the man in the picture was under distress I bet he felt like a little bird trapped in a fence his Suicide will never make sense to family an friends, And after the funeral I prayed that the rain would come and help wash away the pain that left me numb, And as the rain drops fell my eyes they swelled up from the tears that where to afraid to fall out, I breathed in the acceptance but I don’t think I ever will know the real reason he left us, Life is such a precious gift, So remember what you’ve been given in these days you live, From the earth to the moon an the stars in the sky don’t ever be afraid to let you Soul Fly Chorus: Liven my life to the fullest every day Now, Down on my knees giving thanks I’m gonna pray Now, Facing my fears ain’t no time to be afraid Now, I’m gonna live my life,
