Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Um, What is Soul II Soul?
Uh, well, where is sound system?
An amalgamation of good dance music
There's um, three of us from the north side
And two from the east
And through our style, ya know
People just came to recognize us as the funky dreads
[Verse 2]
(I need, uh)
[Verse 3]
Well you know, trust has always meant a lot to all of us
For us to stay together
Where one would make a decision and the rest would follow
I don't know, yo, the way we thought the way things should be
I guess the way things should go
Soul II Soul
[Verse 4]
(I need, uh)
[Verse 5]
I don't know, it took us a real long time
To get things together, you know
But hopefully we're on our way
[Verse 6]
(I need, uh)
[Verse 7]
Yeah, we started, you know, clubs and so on
A little bit of pressure here and there
You know we had our ups and downs
For everybody who can remember the Africa Center
The center of the world
That gave us the, um, idea to now make our music
Creatin' our own styles here in London
[Verse 8]
(Get on point)
(I need, uh)
[Verse 9]
The future, the future for Soul II Soul
A happy face, a funkin' bass
For a loving race, peace
