Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, sister, soul sister, sister, soul sister
Hey, sister, soul sister, sister, soul sister
Hey, sister, soul sister, sister, soul sister
[Verse 2]
Yeah, did you just look at your partner?
Then I might be talkin' 'bout you
And if you're lookin' at your tape deck or your CD player like "What is that?"
Yeah, possibility is you
And 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
'Cause you really don't know what I'm gettin' ready to come with
It's you
Uh, but, uh
Ones that are bobbin' their heads up and down and feelin' this
'Cause, uh, it's all that, I represent you, aight?
So we gon' do this, uh, uh
[Verse 3]
How many y'all done did it, did it before?
Freak somebody's shit, knowin' that it ain't yours
Now, there's a ramification just for that
Bite somebody shit 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 cats, leaders of the pack
Just remember, God got your back
[Verse 4]
See, it's too many of y'all ridin' in the same boat
Gettin' too heavy and the boat can't float
Here's a little something to make you think
You're goin' down if the mother sinks
[Verse 5]
It's too many of y'all ridin' in the same boat
It's gettin' too heavy and the boat can't float
Here's a little something to make you think
You're goin' down under if the mother sinks
[Verse 6]
You know that y'all oughta quit it
Quit it, quit it for sure
Slidin' by on Xerox, thinkin' we don't know
Snatch the bucket, the rhythm, kick, snare and the bass
The only thing that's missin' is my face
You got me burnin', yearnin', turnin' in my sleep
'Cause soul music be who I be
Now, this is for the real soul cats, leaders of the pack
Just remember, Stone got your back
[Verse 7]
See, it's too many of y'all ridin' in the same boat
Gettin' too heavy and the boat can't float
Here's a little something to make you think
You're goin' down if the mother sinks
Hear me now
[Verse 8]
Soul, soul, soul insurance (Soul insurance)
Soul, soul, soul insurance (Stand in line)
Soul, soul, soul insurance (You oh)
Soul, soul, soul insurance (You need a ticket to ride)
[Verse 9]
See, it's too many of y'all ridin' in the same boat
Gettin' too heavy and the boat can't float
Here's a little something to make you think
You're goin' down under if the mother sinks
Hear me now
[Verse 10]
Too many of y'all
Too many of y'all and ya gonna fall
Too many of y'all
Too many of y'all
Too many of y'all
Too many of y'all and ya gonna fall
[Verse 11]
Too many of people tryna do this
Half of ya'll ain't really true to this
[Verse 12]
Imitatin' and busy stealin' melody, tryna find
Some were born to sing, some weren't
But, baby, that's okay 'cause I learned
You really know soul music, then
You'll be around for a while
But, if you're takin' lessons from the leader
Baby, kiss your ass goodbye
[Verse 13]
Soul, soul music
This is for the real brothers who
Are called the real leaders of the pack
You know who you are
You set it off, baby
Hey
Big ups to the peeps that kept the wheel turnin', yo
To my mellow, Curtis Mayfield
Mr. Marvin Gaye
Mr. Donny Hathaway
Betty Wright
True pioneers of soul music
And to the new generation of soul
Leaders of the pack
You know who you are
Big ups to you
Keep it goin', goin', goin'
