In 1996, Oversoul 7 came together as members Geri Soriano-Lightwood, Ramin Sakurai, (Bassist)) Kiran Shahani, and (Guitarist) Rick Torres released "Nothing Like Tomorrow" and "What's the Deal" on two compilations on the Moonshine Music dance label. After the Moonshine releases, Oversoul 7 signed a demo deal with A&M records recording demos of "Truth From Fiction", "Never the Same", and "Last Girl on Earth", all songs which ended up on the now classic "Supreme Beings of Leisure" debut album (released on Palm Pictures label).
The release of the first Supreme Beings of Leisure album sold over 250,000 units with very little promotional touring. Instead, SBL opted to use the internet to market and promote the album, becoming the first band ever to do a "Virtual Internet Tour", and was among the first to use Flash animation for their videos, making them the first true "Internet Band" of the new millennium.
After the release of their debut album, the group disbanded. The core duo of Soriano-Lightwood and Sakurai, however, released the second SBL album "Divine Operating System" shortly thereafter in 2002. In 2003, SBL left Palm Pictures, taking a three year hiatus, releasing various remixes and appearing on various other artists' albums. In 2006, Supreme Beings of Leisure started writing material which coalesced into a new album, the highly anticipated 11i.

Supreme Beings of Leisure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know the pretty bird always catches the worm
Got a rocket in your pocket headed straight to the top
The simple life's a joke some fools never learn
Her mission and condition is ease
Ambition helps her do as she please
Golddigger
Golddigger
Who says you can't have it all
Cause baby nothing for free
No money don't grow on trees
Golddigger
Got a sweet little daddy yeah a pretty good scene
He's got a house on the hill and he's swimming in green
Always party on the A-list there's no need to wait
Got a pretty thing on the side of his plate
His mission and condition is ease
Ambition helps him do as he please
Golddigger

Who says you can't have it all
Cause baby nothing for free
No money don't grow on trees

Passion's out of fashion, passe, strictly naive
A fizzle's all you get in the end
I'll take Manhattan I won't even pretend
You can give love to the birds and the bees

The lyrics to Supreme Beings Of Leisure's "Golddigger" explores the concept of ambition and the willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve one's goals, even if it means being labeled as a "golddigger." The song conveys a sense of longing for a luxurious lifestyle, and critiques the societal pressure to conform to certain expectations of success. The first verse suggests that those who are simply content with a modest lifestyle are deemed as "fools" who are unable to see beyond their limited worldview. The second verse introduces a male character with wealth and status, who is equally driven by his desire for material possessions and a lavish lifestyle.
Throughout the lyrics, the refrain "Who says you can't have it all" reinforces the idea that success and happiness are measured by one's ability to attain financial success and material satisfaction. The song asserts that these goals often require an ambition and drive that are frowned upon by society. The bridge of the song suggests that passion and love are no longer fashionable or necessary in the pursuit of success.
Overall, "Golddigger" is a critique of the societal norms that valorize wealth and success, while demonizing those who strive for these goals. The lyrics speak to the universal human desire for financial stability and comfort, while also showcasing the societal pressures that often come with that pursuit.

Just a lazy cat in a dog eat dog world
An indifferent person navigating a frequently ruthless world
You know the pretty bird always catches the worm
Physical attractiveness is often an advantage in life
Got a rocket in your pocket headed straight to the top
A driven individual headed for success
The simple life's a joke some fools never learn
Some people do not appreciate the value of a less complicated life

Her drive enables her to make decisions according to her own desires
Golddigger
Referring to the central theme of the song: the pursuit of wealth through relationships
Who says you can't have it all
Challenging the idea that individuals must choose between love and wealth
Cause baby nothing for free
Acknowledging the cost of success
No money don't grow on trees
Money requires work to obtain
Got a sweet little daddy yeah a pretty good scene
She has a wealthy partner and a comfortable lifestyle
He's got a house on the hill and he's swimming in green
Her partner is wealthy with a large house and financial abundance
Always party on the A-list there's no need to wait
They can afford to socialize with the wealthy and powerful
Got a pretty thing on the side of his plate
Her partner has a mistress or side relationship in addition to their partnership
His mission and condition is ease

A fizzle's all you get in the end
Relationships based solely on wealth and status are ultimately unsatisfying
I'll take Manhattan I won't even pretend
The singer wants to achieve great success and financial abundance
You can give love to the birds and the bees
Love is not as important as wealth in their worldview
Catching flys whith honey
Using charm and sweetness to achieve one's goals
No need to crawl
One can achieve success and wealth without sacrificing dignity or self-respect
Golddigger
The refrain reinforces the song's central theme of pursuing wealth through relationships
