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
