Souljacker, Pt. II Lyrics

Souljacker can't get my soul
Ate my carcass in a black manhole
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can shoot me up full of bullet holes
But the souljacker can't get my soul

Souljacker can't get my soul
Left my carcass with the worms and moles
Souljacker can't get my soul
He can hang my neck from the old flagpole
But the souljacker can't get my soul

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I remember reading that this song was inspired by a serial killer who called himself the Soul Jacker.

I love this song - he sounds just so tired and paranoid. I don't know what it's really about, but to me sounds like someone who has lived in a really rough place, who's had everything taken from them and fears being killed. 'he can hang my neck from the old flagpole' a referance to the persecution of black people in the USA? Or maybe I'm reading too much into that. The 'souljacker' could be a play on 'car-jacker', as in someone who steals cars. Maybe he's just an ordinary guy who's had everything stolen from him, and now feel so paranoid, he's worried they'll take his soul. '[but atleast they] can't get my soul' is his only comfort, beautiful sound.
