Give it up for the most slept on since pepto bis when

She definitely ready to spread them hips, psst ohhh
Shyt stink you seen me in the lex so sick with the beat

John wayne [john wayne] couldn't even stand the reign of the tek
And the tek be like datin the deck its lethal
Killin it for my people
Still up in the whip illegal
And clip be on the hip for these folks tryin to take what's mine
End up opposite where the sunshine kid, run my shit?

Its Detroit stepping through, watch me let loose
And shut your whole shit down like guoliani
See me in the candy M with two behind me

Big bucks make bitches go nuts
Aaa the mystro's ice glow like a light show now

Only broke niggas wait till the price go down

Hands in the air this is a stick up [give it up]
When we up in the cut raw dogg [give it up]
All y'all [give it up] off the wall [give it up]

@deepsoulful

Love it. Great. Do you know if there is some place in Hungary playing this Kind of quality soulful house music ? Thanks a lot 🙏 Florent from France

@soulfulhousefeeling

Hi, I'm glad you like the music. Thank you for following the channel. Unfortunately, this style is not that popular in Hungary, so I don't know many places where this kind of music is played, which is why the channel was created to promote the style in our country.

@soulfulhousefeeling

In Europe, soulful house music is perhaps popular in England and France, but maybe even in Spain. About 15 years ago I found the French Deep Inside Radio, which I think was the best radio of this style ever, I heard this music here for the first time: Jay Jays & Latrice Barnett - Keep on rising (Copyright Classic Mix) in 2008
