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

Yo, did you just like, get our partyin'?
