All Souled Out

Some live the good life loungin' by the pool
Catching a suntan and everything's cool
Male or female, you want to be set
In the big mansion drinking moet
You read the wall street journal
Later for the comic
Far from dumb because you practice logic
You lived poor in the ghetto
Never had the money easily
But, you found the remedy
So, you, your girl, and your kids could have a better opportunity
And teach them all about unity
Cultivating in the brains the words of allah the master
And they go far
But, you still go visit your old stomping ground
Indeed to help another that's down
A tough situation cuts like a knife
In search of the good life

From the church, the home, on down to the prison
People want to know how is he and she living
Does he work?
Do you wonder if his life will bloom?
Is the girl going to have the kid anytime soon?
How's the mother?
Do they ever go visit the brother?
What about the dad?
I heard he drinks undercover
Some are still shooting up, another on crack
Just the other day trooper got sent back
What type of life do you lead?
Tell me
'cause you can be anything you want to be
Some will strive for the good life in any case
The mind is a terrible thing to waste
On drugs, violence, and hatred of another color
Hear me now, brother
All around the world the husband and wife
Work night and day in search of the good life

The g double o-d l-i-f-e
Living in luxury
Care free
Period
No time to waste
We catch ours all day
We work instead of play
I b-u-i-l-d inside me
Knowledge and quickly you vacate the city
From a paranoid mental delusion
Plain and simple
I won't cause confusion
Yo, that's your fault
Stop the somersault
'cause i put the bad like mo to a halt
My destiny i define is heavenly
So, fort knox, open sesame
Light shines and the birds keep singing
As i still cling to my positive upbringing
With the need to succeed, right?
On a natural high
The good life

(get on up)

[ verse 1 ]
Yo
From the intro
I flow
3 in a row
Buildin like a lego
Stacks upon stacks
It attacks the wax
Scrub it like ajax
Relievin as a x-lax
The night cap of rap
Here to make another hit
To undercover, smudder
Word to mother
Pump it for the playground
World renowned
Pete rock & c.l. smooth is in town
I design a logical line
A mastermind, so recline
And listen to what's mine
I'm untouchable, lovable
Some try to imitate, but you can't make a double of
Me, the capital c, capital l, capital s
M-double o-t-h - yes
A pro
So you know
You gotta go with the flow

[ verse 2 ]
Smooth as ya ever gonna get to hear
Crisp and clear
So step to the rear
And make room for daddy
Bigger than a caddy
To move a crowd? hm, gladly
It's all done with ease
Past mc's
And all they feel is a breeze
The technician
With the first division
Like a surgical incision
Deeper envision
My flow the naked eye can't stare
But only hear
Another poet like shakespeare
C.l. the swinger, ringer, clinger
And oh yes, you know, another hum dinger
Wreckin any studio, love to make cash
So kick it like judo
Big like a sumo
Rhymes like a pro
So you know
Like a flute i blow
And go with the flow

[ verse 3 ]
I rock the microphone
But you probably know to hype the show
I gotta go with the flow
And take it to another degree
That many people wanna see
But above elementary
I made lyrical
Any kind of material
More than minimal
For any individual
That i send
To reach the end
And just like clark gable, it's 'gone with the wind'
And take flight
Through the night
Like a meteor, right insight
To shine like a bright light
You gotta tip-toe
From the get-go
Live in stereo, rhymes gotta flip, so
Pete rock can move your butt
And cut the strut
( *scratching* ) yeah what?
Just like a pro
So you know
I'm ready and set
To go with the flow
