Yo, did you just like, get our partying?

Then i might be talking about you, mm hmm

And if you're looking at your tape deck

Or your cd player like, what is that?

Yeah, possibilty is it's you

If you actin' nonchalant lookin' out the window like

You ain't really feelin' this and like, uh

Yeah, it might be you, uh

And if you sittin' still because you're a little bit nervous

Cuz you really don't know what i'm getting ready to come with

It's you

Oh but uh, ones that are bobbin' their heads up and down

And feeling this cuz uh, it's all that

I represent you, aight?

So we gon' do this, huh huh



How many y'all don' did it, did it before

Freak somebody's shit knowing that it ain't yours

Now there's a ramification just for that

Bite somebody sug', and they gon' bite you back

You busy smilin', smilin', grinnin' in my face

Whole time tryna take my place

Now this is for the real soul cat, leaders of the pack

Just remember, god got yo' back



[2] - see it's too many ya'll ridin' in the same boat

Getting too heavy and the boat can't float

Here's a little something to make you think

You goin' down if the mother sinks



It's too many ya'll ridin' in the same boat

It's getting too heavy and the boat can't float

Here's a little something to make you think

You goin' down under if the mother sinks



You know that ya'll oughta quit it, quit it for sure

Slidin' by on xerox thinkin' we don't know

That's the luck if the rhythm can't stand in the place

The only thing that's missing is my face

You got me burnin', yearnin', turnin' in my sleep

Cuz soul music be who i be

Now this is for the real soul cat, leaders of the pack

Just remember, stone got yo' back
