Soul Music

A little something for the old school, yeah

Said I'm feeling real good

'Cause I'm full of that water

The jukebox playing my favorite songs

Two for a quarter

Fried chicken, cooking in the back

My brother Marcus, can't stand up

'Cause he fell of a yacht

Now this kind of music, said it's good for the soul

Mama used to play it around the house

Y'all it never grows old

When the weekend comes

All the fish grease in the air

A Juke and a Hook would have folks dancing everywhere

Ain't nothing like some soul

Soul music (that's what I want, that's what I need)

I got to hear some soul

Soul music, yeah

Listen

What happened to the music (music, music) that we all used to love? (We love)

Now the beat too loud, they talking too fast

Everybody wanna dougie dance (teach me how to dougie)

These young people, ain't talking about a thing

Stop popping and locking, get up on the stage

And just flat foot sing

Like Donny Hathaway, like Aretha

Like Johnny Taylor when he sung, "Cheaper to keep her"

Let's go back to singing, and not just putting on a show (oh, oh)

Ask one of these youngins (Who was the candy licker?)

And I bet they don't know

I sho do love some soul

Soul, soul, soul music (that's what I want, that's what I wanna need)

I wanna hear some soul music (let me play, let me play)

Check it out

Now for the last few years I've been trying to do my thing

Up and down the highway, somewhere tryna sing

But when I leave this world, here's what I want y'all to say

Vick did his thing in his own special way

I love to sing good soul (soul)

Soul music (that's what I want, that's what I need)

Play me some soul music (hey)

Listen to me real good

Now this kind of music, said it's good for the soul

One thing about it, it never grows old

20 years from now, I'll still be listening to some good soul music

To some soul music, yeah, yeah

Soul, soul, soul music (that's what I want, that's what I need)

I got to hear some soul music
