Pete Rock & Cl Smooth - Good Life lyrics

rate me

Some live the good life loungin' by the pool

Catching a suntan and everything's cool

Male or femaleyou 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

Butyou found the remedy

Soyouyour girland your kids could have a better opportunity

And teach them all about unity

Cultivating in the brains the words of allah the master

And they go far

Butyou 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 churchthe homeon 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 upanother 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 drugsviolenceand hatred of another color

Hear me nowbrother

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

Yothat's your fault

Stop the somersault

'cause I put the bad like mo to a halt

My destiny I define is heavenly

Sofort knoxopen sesame

Light shines and the birds keep singing

As I still cling to my positive upbringing

With the need to succeedright?

On a natural high

The good life
