The Soulin'

Coast to coast i guess it's already takin' the nation

I ain't surprised if you don't know the situation well

But you can bet that i'll tell

Cause it's the b-i-g space s-o-u-l

I ain't the kind to be shoutin' a point that i'm relatin'

That ain't my style when i'm simply communicatin'

Ain't no red hot chili pepper tryin' to blow you out

And i ain't madonna

But people i'll tell you that i got plenty of clout

To rock out your funky bone

And when i'm done with the fun

Then you'll probably beg me not to leave you alone

Because you're gonna like it

When all i did was say a rap... and mike it

See i'm wheelin' and dealin'

By knowin' just how you're feeling

And by the way that you're reelin'

I guess it's all quite revealin'

It's pretty funny what a couple of funky beats can do

Especially when they're b-i-g soulin' to you

Chorus :

The soulin', the soulin', the soulin'

The soulin', the soulin', the soulin'

The soulin', the soulin', the soulin'

Well women, how 'bout the message we get

From cosmopolitan magazine to the tv set

They say you better get movin' and get your looks up to date

They say you'd look a lot better

If you could be a bit underweight... by about twenty pounds

We know it's hard to do and we know how it must sound

But you should get with the plan if you...

Wanna be worth a damn

I know you're relatin' and hearin' what i'm conversatin'

And it's seemin' to me we need another round of liberatin'

Don't have to join the beauty sorority

It's time to make our souls the priority

You see what i'm sayin' over the beats that are playin'

Is that my womanhood ain't a commodity to be displayin'

You'll have to pardon me if all of it's true

But i just can't help myself from b-i-g soulin' to you

Chorus

Don't even bother to fake it, you ain't dumb

You're catchin' on, see, cause you know where i'm coming from

I don't gotta shout to lay it on you without a doubt

Cause you know the a to z of what it's all about

I got the passion, i don't need to cash in

I got the will to do it in my own fashion

And now it's appearin' that what i'm saying you're hearin'

And what i'm wearin' - hey! - it's simply not interferin'

You know i'm happy to help you with settin' your mind free

But when i'm finished with that i'm obliged to get funky

So you gotta get on, see

You must gotta keep me in mind when makin' your policy

You're doin' okay, g, and be as it may what can i say ?

Just keep it goin' and take it away

You're movin' and shakin' and yes you know what to do

Because i'm rumblin' and rollin' and b-i-g soulin' to you
