Soul Man
Kid 'N Play Lyrics

Kid 'N Play's got the knack, Jack
Kid 'N Play are very good at what they do

To show you all where the soul is at
They are here to share their knowledge of soul music with everyone

With the beat of the bass drum, it represents the hard
The strong beat of the bass drum symbolizes the toughness of soul music

Yo Hurb, drop it, so Wiz can start
Spoken request to the DJ to start the beat so Wiz can start rapping

To contribute a scratch that match the batch of rhymes
The DJ adds a scratch sound to match the rhymes being rapped

Kid 'N Play's gonna bust one time
Kid 'N Play are going to perform their song really well this time

Don't wait, it's not too late to get wit' it
Don't hesitate to join in, it's not too late to enjoy soul music

Kid 'N Play's got it, now you come get it 'cause
Kid 'N Play have the soul music style and now it's your turn to experience it

S-O-U-L spells SOUL
The word 'soul' can be spelled by the letters S-O-U-L

To us is just as good as gold
The value of soul music is just as high as the value of gold to Kid 'N Play

It's a characteristic, the devil flips it
Soul is a defining feature of music, but some people see it negatively

Some say it's mystic—exactly what is it?
Some people believe there is a mystical aspect to soul music, but what is it exactly?

My soul rolls with the beat of the drum
My style of soul music connects with the rhythm of the drums

And mine hits just as hard as a kick drum
My style of soul music is just as powerful as the kick drum's sound

A groove that moves and makes the crowd come alive
Soul music has a groove that makes people want to dance and be energized

The soul of rap will never die
The style of rap music with soul will always remain popular

I got soul...'cause I'm a soul man
I have soul because I am skilled at playing soul music

Here we stand, form a band with a plan
We are standing here together, as a musical group, with an idea of what we want to create musically

To expand this hip hop jam
We want to make this hip hop music style more popular

To house, club or dance, no one can
Our music can be played in any venue and for any event

'Cause a scam, we ain't havin' it, man
We won't tolerate any dishonesty or deception in the music industry

This is rap, some call it crap but the fact is
Despite some negative opinions, rap music is still valid and has merit

They lack the knack to stack or back up anything
These critics do not have the skills to make good music or criticize it effectively

Someone or something, somehow I'm hoping
I am hoping that someone or something will listen and appreciate our music

This jam will open your mind
Our music will broaden your perspective and influence positively

It's time to understand that I'm not an average man
It's important to realize that I have talent and skills beyond the norm

I got soul... I got soul
I have soul and talent in making music

I got soul, 'cause I'm a soul man
I have soul because I am skilled at playing soul music

I got soul if I can make you dance
If my music can make people dance, then I have soul

I got soul... I got soul
I have natural talent in creating music with soul

I gout soul, 'cause I'm a soul man
Having soul is the reason why I am a skilled soul music performer

'Cause I'm a soul man
I am a skilled soul music performer
