Good Life |
Some live the good life loungin' by the pool |
Catching a suntan and everything’s cool |
Male or female, you want to be set |
In the big mansion drinking Moet |
You read the Wall Street Journal |
Later for the comic |
Far from dumb because you practice logic |
You lived poor in the ghetto |
Never had the money easily |
But, you found the remedy |
So, you, your girl, and your kids can have a better opportunity |
And teach them all about unity |
Cuiltivate in the brains the word of Allah the master |
And they go far |
But, you still go visit your old stomping ground |
Indeed to help another that’s down |
A tough situation cuts like a knife |
In search of the good life |
From the church, the home, on down to the prison |
People want to know how is he and she living |
Does he work? |
Do you wonder if his life will bloom? |
Is the girl going to have the kid anytime soon? |
How’s the mother? |
Do they ever go visit the brother? |
What about the dad? |
I heard he drinks undercover |
Some are still shooting up, another on crack |
Just the other day trooper got sent back |
What type of life do you lead? |
Tell me |
Cause you can be anything you want to be |
Some will strive for the good life in any case |
The mind is a terrible thing to waste |
On drugs, violence, and hatred of another color |
Hear me now, brother |
All around the world the husband and wife |
Work night and day in search of the good life |
The G double O-D L-I-F-E |
Living in luxury |
Care free |
Period |
No time to waste |
We catch ours all day |
We work instead of play |
I B-U-I-L-D inside me |
Knowledge and quickly you vacate the city |
From a paranoid mental delusion |
Plain and simple |
I won’t cause confusion |
Yo, that’s your fault |
Stop the somersault |
Cause I put the bad like mo to a halt |
My destiny I define is heavenly |
So, Fort Knox, open sesame |
Light shines and the birds keep singing |
As I still cling to my positive upbringing |
With the need to succeed, right? |
On a natural high |
The good life |
