Gotta have soul rhythm playin
in my life
In my life
I don’t wake according to no rule
but I make room closest to my chambers
Without it I don’t know what I'd do
My guess is packing up somewhere insane
Gotta be the way I want it
Thumping a little bit
Why you at it add some horn
and guitar licks
Surrender to me Jeff Bradshaw
Didn't show up here for a parade
I came here for ballin
Bring it down with Sade'
Gotta have soul rhythm playin
in my life
In my life
Splash a dimes worth behind each ear
Attraction so the music lands right here
Used to get all baffled by the fusion
Get hype on reprised illusions
of Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis
Try not be to stingy
Stone jazz hefer
Have to savor it
Gotta have soul rhythm playing
in my life
In my life
I know you heard me
Gotta have soul rhythm playing
In my life
In my life
Ya'll don’t know how I feign
for the right tune
Pull over from the road
til I can perceive
Advisory that hinges on the beat
Make it harder to maintain my seat
But don’t get me started
When notes start repeating
A second crush on Hargrove
A new love for BDC
Gotta have soul rhythm playing
in my life
In my life
