Soul Education
Jamiroquai Lyrics

I didn't have no time for school
The singer did not prioritize going to school

Spent my days breaking the rules and regulations
Instead of going to school, the singer spent his days engaging in disobedience

And in between me having fun
The singer had a good time despite not going to school

All the teachers told me son, get an education
The teachers advised the singer to get educated

So I had my days of freedom
The singer had the freedom to do what he wanted

Dressed like a man through four seasons
The singer dressed appropriately all year round

Hey I'm steppin' out so cut me loose
The singer is confident and wants to be set free

And as mama waved goodbye
The singer's mother said goodbye to him

Tears were welling in her eyes
The singer's mother was emotional about his departure

She don't need them
The singer believes his mother does not need to worry about him

I turned to her and said:
The singer addressed his mother

I've got my soul education
The singer has learned from his soul's experiences

You know it's stitched into the clothes that I wear
The singer's experiences are reflected in his appearance

Got my life information
The singer has learned important things about life

Upon the breeze that's blowing through my hair
The singer's understanding of life is carried by the wind

Got a pocket full of rainbows
The singer has many wonderful things in life

Oh and a sky to put them in so blue
The singer's life is wonderful and full of possibility

So let the music come and save you
Listening to music can uplift and inspire

I found a God that I can pray to
The singer has a spiritual belief he can rely on

Deep inside my soul, hey
The singer's spiritual belief is something he feels within himself

See you're mad you can't delude
Others may be upset that they cannot deceive the singer

But there is no substitute
There is no replacement for intuitive understanding

For intuition, there's no superstition
Intuition is not based on superstition

So if you find you're petrified
If someone is nervous

To let some natural law apply
To allow for natural consequences

Then there's a whole lot missing baby yeah
If someone is not open to natural consequences, they will miss many things in life

So you know I'm blessed celestially
The singer feels that he is blessed by the heavens

Got a direct link with destiny yeah
The singer feels connected to his destiny

Don't ask me why
The singer does not have an explanation for his blessings

I'm in the sky
The singer feels on top of the world

And if there's green wax in your eye
If someone is unappreciative

Somethings money just can't buy, hey
There are some things that money cannot provide

Rags to riches, babes to bitches
The singer has experienced many ups and downs in life

But the ride don't mind cause I got my
The singer is content with his experiences because of his spiritual understanding

Just let the music come and save you
The singer encourages others to let music inspire them

I know I found a God that I can pray to
The singer is confident in his spiritual belief
