Good Life
Blackstreet Lyrics

It's Friday night and I just got paid
I'm excited to go out tonight with my cash in hand

I'm checkin' out the city layin' in the shade
I'm relaxing and enjoying the city view

I'm goin' through that jam just to release some tension
I'm driving through traffic to relieve my stress

I'm gonna work them chains, maybe we can swing
I'm planning to dance and have fun tonight with someone special

I was sittin' at home waitin' for the booty call
I was waiting for someone to call me for a hookup

'Cause I can't be alone tonight, tonight's gotta be so right
I don't want to be alone tonight and need this to be a good night

Seems like today's my lucky day
I feel like things are going my way today

I'm goin' with the flow, chillin' on the low, this is the good life
I'm taking it easy and enjoying myself; this is the good life

Gimme that bomb, gimme that bomb, bomb
I want a great beat to dance to

Gimme that bomb bomb, bomb, bomb
I want that beat to keep going

Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb beat
The beat is awesome

Gimme the good life, good
I want the good things in life

Another day in the good life, rollin' with my homies in the hood
I'm having another good day, hanging out with my friends in the neighborhood

We rollin' down the avenue, punanis soufflé, lookin' good
We're cruising down the street in style, checking out the ladies and feeling confident

We push up on the hoochie, they wanna get busy rollin' posse deep
We approach some ladies and they're interested in us since we're a big group

Baby, don't just sleep 'cause we got it goin' on
Don't miss out on this opportunity to have fun with us

'Cause in the New Jack City, you gotta get paid in the shade
You have to be smart and successful in this city

Shackin' up, don't want a down low, you gotta go for what you know
Don't hide in secrecy, pursue what you want confidently

So when you have no worries, you gotta move in a hurry
When you're not stressed, take advantage of your freedom

If you're slow, you blow, baby, don't you know this is the good life
Don't waste time when you can have a good time

Splish splash, I was takin' a bath
I was taking a bath

On a Saturday night thinkin' about some ass
I'm thinking about sex on a Saturday night

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir'
Will you sleep with me tonight?

I wanna exercise and make her butt sweat like a spa
I want to have sex and make her feel good physically

Oh, yeah, I'm bringin' it like Tang
I'm bringing the goods

Direct with the flavor on that Blackstreet thing
I'm proud of my music style and the band's sound

Lord, have mercy, Lord, look at this shorty
Wow, she's attractive

I don't need a 40 to get naughty
I don't need alcohol to be wild

'Cause I used to kick this for fun
I used to do this for fun

I used to break dance and after that girls got done
I used to impress girls with my dancing skills

And it wasn't just about gettin' numbers
It wasn't just about getting phone numbers

It was about who can hit the more punani before the summer
It was about who could have sex with the most women before summer ended

And you can ask Blackstreet, Teddy, [Incomprehensible] or me
You can ask anyone in the band about our lifestyle

And we can tell you how the good life's supposed to be
We know how to live the good life

So give it up because it didn't come by luck
Don't envy us, we worked hard to get this life

'Cause I could give a shit [Incomprehensible]
I don't care if you don't believe me

Gimme that bomb, gimme that bomb, bomb
Give me that great dance beat

Gimme that bomb bomb, bomb, bomb
I want that beat to keep going

Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb beat
The beat is amazing

Gimme the good life
I want the good things in life
