Ab Soul's tune "The Book of Soul" is no ifs ands or buts one of his most surely understood and most acclaimed tunes, managing essentially with the sudden demise of his long-term sweetheart, Alori Joh. The initial two lines of the tune,
Your momma told to me read the Book of Job
They shoulda called it the Book of Soul
sets up the tune as a kind of moral story for the Book of Job, utilizing it to mirror his own life. Many have seen the melody as reflecting the Book of Job just in the way that both Soulo and Job endured unnecessarily, with Soulo losing his long-lasting sweetheart Alori Joh and Job losing his family and vocation; in any case, the examinations between the two have all the earmarks of being substantially more profound and more complex than that.
Perchance that you have as of now read the Book of Job or know the essence of it, you don't need to trouble with the content beneath as this is only an outline of the Book of Job for the individuals who haven't indulge in it.
The Book of Job is a book in the Old Testament, depicting the agony of a honorable man named Job. In it, Satan discloses to God that Job is just reliable to God because of his favorable luck. God then permits Satan to bring about Job extraordinary enduring, apparently as a trial of his confidence. Satan has marauders murder and take Job's domesticated animals, execute a large portion of his servants, and after that 86s the house in which his offspring were, killing them.
After this,Job's body gets covered with boils by Satan that causes suffering. Job goes on to discuss his suffering with his friends Bildad, Eliphaz, and Zophar. They go on to discuss the reasoning for his suffering as well as human beings lack of wisdom. while Job laments on the fact that he doesn't deserve to suffer since he hasn't sinned.
God appears to Job eventually, while he does not actually explain any sort of premise behind the suffering Job endures, he tells Job will never be able to overstand why he has made him suffer. After all this, Job get restored with good fortune and gives him a new family.
I came into this hurtful Earth in perfect health
Caught Stevens–Johnson syndrome when I was ten years old
Internal and external fever, 80%
Fatality rate at that time, ain't that some shyt
Severe pink eye, my eyes swollen shut
For like two or three months, it's still bright as fukk
Oh, and I even lost my lip skin
Grew back darker than its original pigment
Skin disfigured from boils and blisters
Unidentifiable by my little sister..........
Book of Soul starts off with Ab-Soul describing his 1st case of suffering: Battling Steven-Johnson syndrome. (Read Stevens–Johnson syndrome - Wikipedia). This syndrome is the 1st connection we see between The Book of Soul & The Book of Job. In Job, Job's body becomes laced in boils that are unappealing and causing pain. The connection between Ab-Soul's syndrome and Job's is a very clear one, with both of them being disfigured due to boils on their body.
Another intriguing thing of note is the utilization of lips in both The Book of Job & The Book of Soul. In The Book of Soul, Soulo tells the audience that the skin on his lips came off and became considerably darker, subsequently of Steven Johnson. In the Book of Job, it is communicated that he "didn't sin with his lips", suggesting that Job did not censure God now verbally but rather likely was in his considerations. The way that both utilize lip symbolism is intriguing because of the lips being illustrative of verbal activity. Concerning Job, the lip symbolism is utilized to demonstrate that Job did not talk, though with Ab-Soul, it appears to demonstrate the inverse; the harm to his lips prompted his moniker of Black Lip b*stard, and likely impacted his music to a degree.
Come to think of it, I could've got a crazy check
The shrink thought I'd be traumatized, but I'm alright
A more subtle association amongst Job and Soul is seen as to how they each dealt with their separate diseases. While portraying what he proceeded with SJS, Ab-Soul clarifies that there was a 80% casualty rate around then, notwithstanding the torment it brought on. Regardless of this reality, he could continue on and recoup, as well as he was rationally alright a short time later; would surely have debilitating effects on most people. In a comparative vein, Job drove forward through his own particular suffering, declining to bite the dust and declining to ((at this point in time)) lose hope. His significant other disclosed to him that he should "“curse God, and die”", however Job declined to do as such and rather clarified that in the event that he should receive good by God, it may also receive evil.
Both men declined to give up regardless of their unpleasant conditions, demonstrating a fascinating connection between their points of view toward their misery.
My first years of Junior High School were not alright
Them dimes wouldn't give me no time, no, not a nod
This line is short and straightforward, yet is another similarity we see amongst Soul and Job. Amid his prior years, Ab-Soul was not a particularly well known because of his skin deformation. The boils ,etc everywhere on his body were unattractive, prompting individuals not having any desire to associate with him to such an extent. In like manner, Job wound up turning into a sort of social pariah because of his distortions and the tragedies that came to pass for him; amid his agony, just Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar, and later Elihu come to him. Preceding his torment, Job was an exceptionally very much regarded man whom everybody loved; he was known for his penchant to help others and individuals appreciated his conversation.The skin disfigurements both men experienced led to them becoming social outcasts, despite it being completely out of their control.
