You goin' down if the mother sinks
How many y'all don' did it, did it before
Too many of ya'll, too many of ya'll to come for
Now there's a ramification just for that
Hey sista, soul sista
Are called the leaders of the pack
'Cuz you really don't know what I'm getting ready
Oh but, ones that are bobbin' their heads up and down
'Cuz soul music be who I be
Sista, soul sista
You know that ya'll oughta quit it, quit it, quit it for sure
Bite somebody sug', and they gon' bite you back
To come with, it's you
The window like
Slidin' by on Xerox thinkin' we don't know
Then I might be talkin' about you
It's too many of ya'll ridin' in the same boat
An' if you sittin' still because you're a little bit nervous
You know who you are
Leaders of the pack
Mr. Marvin Gaye, Mr. Donnie Hathaway, Betty Wright
Yeah, it might be you
Big ups to the peeps that kept the wheel turning, yo
Soul, soul music
You ain't really feelin' this and like
See it's too many of ya'll ridin' in the same boat
And to the new generation of soul
Imitating, business dealing, melody tryna find
You'll be 'round for a while
See it's too many of ya'll ridin' in the same boat
You really know soul music
The only thing that's missin' is my face
But there's a little somethin' to make you think
You goin' down if the mother sinks
Freak somebody's shit knowing that it ain't yours
You know who you are, you said it all baby, hey
Here's a little somethin' to make you think
Sista, soul sista
Some were born to sin, some weren't
Whole time tryna take my place
Now this is for the real soul cat, leaders of the pack
And feelin' this 'cuz, it's all that I represent you, ai'ght?
Getting too heavy and the boat can't float
But if you're takin' lessons from the leader
Soul soul soul insurance
Now this is for the real soul cat, leaders of the pack
Or your CD player like, what is that?
You got me burnin', yearnin', turnin' in my sleep
To my mellow, Curtis Mayfield
See it's too many of ya'll ridin' in the same boat
Too many of ya'll, too many of ya'll to come for
This is for the real brothers who
You goin' down under if the mother sinks
You goin' down if the mother sinks
And if you're lookin' at your tape deck
Big ups to you
So we gon' do this
That's the luck if the rhythm can't stand in the place
Getting too heavy and the boat can't float
Too many of ya'll, too many of ya'll to come for
Hey sista, soul sista
But baby, that's okay 'cuz I learned
Soul soul soul insurance
Soul soul soul insurance
Here's a little something to make you think
If you actin' nonchalant lookin' out
Just remember, God got yo' back
Too many of ya'll, too many of ya'll to come for
It's getting too heavy and the boat can't float
Baby, kiss yo' ass goodbye
You busy smilin', smilin', grinnin' in my face
True pioneers of soul music
Here's a little something to make you think
Just remember, Stone got yo' back
Soul soul soul insurance
Yo, did you just like, get our partyin'?
Gettin' too heavy and the boat can't float
Yeah, possibilty is, it's you
