Good Life (LP-Group Home Mix)-Pete Rock & CL Smooth

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 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 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
