Lyrics:
Shut-up boy, an' eat them greens!
It's soul food, ya get your stomach full
Want ya to eat, ya'all
I'm gonna play for ya
Ow! Woo!
I see a man headed 'cross the track
Food was so good, I see he's comin' back
It's soul food
It's soul food
It's soul food
It's soul food
It's soul food
It's soul food
It's soul food
It's soul food
Ooh, oh-oh
Yeah
Ooh, oh-oh
Every night that I've been gone
Far from everything I love
Make me feel like I'm at home
That's what you remind me of
Wish I had you all the time
More than just here in my mind
Little slice of paradise
Of paradise
Tryna fill this hole just leaves me bare
It's useless
All the things I could do won't compare
'Cause the truth is
Nothin' sparks my appetite
Like you and me on Friday nights
You leave my heart so satisfied
Your love tastes sweeter, every bite
You're so good
You're my soul food
Always there to pull me through
Hope I do the same for you
Girl, you're good enough to eat
That's why they call it comfort food
Wanna put your mind at ease
Like you always do for me
Give you everything you need
That's all I need
Nothing in this world comes even close
It's useless
The longer we're apart the more I know
That the truth is
Nothin' sparks my appetite
Like you and me on Friday nights
You leave my heart so satisfied
Your love tastes sweeter, every bite
You're so good
You're my soul food
You're my soul food
[Chorus: x2]
[Snoop Dogg]
Foreign places, court cases
Seems they always on my line
I don't trip, I just dip
Pop the top on my 69
Fleetwood, Cadillac
mirror with my Boys on back
Chandelier so superior
Louis Vitton, oatmeal interior
Bossy Boss, mink seats, what it cost
Speak yo peace, can't you see ain't no big deal
have a seat lil homie and enjoy your meal
Close the door and don't drop crumbs on my flo'
Here we go, soul food, so cool, and i got this...
[Chorus: x2]

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades
With her mythical Madonnas still walking in their shades
Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand
Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand
Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing
Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing
Ku Klux Klan serve hot soul food
And the band plays 'In the Mood'
The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand
There's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almond
Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade
He know in a scent uou can bottle all you made
There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes
Smiling at the majorettes, smoking Winston cigarettes
And as the song and dance begins
The children play at home
With needles, needles and pins
Soulville, Soulville
Come on and show me the way to get to Soulville, baby
Show me the way to go home
(The way to go home)
Show me the way to get to Soulville, baby
'Cause that's where I belong

Show me the way to get to Soulville, baby
Show me the way to go home
(The way to go home)
Show me the way to get to Soulville, baby
'Cause that's where I belong
I'm gonna see some soul folks
Who know all the tricks
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I'm gonna eat soul food
Well, now, it'll make you limber
It'll make you quick
It'll make you twist over the candlestick

Grandparents had that kind of bond
But now we on some other shit

Apples fall off of trees and roll down hills
We can't play games no more 'cause we got bills
Back in the day, the yard was oh so filled
Now nobody comes around here
Out here in this world, (mind oh mind oh mind) just tryna make it (mind oh mind)
Everything I see (mind oh mind oh mind), sometimes I can't take it (mind oh mind)
But damn I really miss those times (mind oh mind oh mind)

Mind, mind, mind

Act cool?
She'll cook soul food, know what I mean
Set her soul on fire
And make love to your one desire
She will love you, if you return it
Oh
Keep her warm in winter
Protect her when it's warm
Love her, love her, love her
And your love will go on and on
Does she speak french?
It's such a blessing when my eyes
Get to see the sun rise
I'm ready to begin, another chance to get further away from where I've been
What I'll never forget everythang I went through
I appreciate the shit because
If I hada went and took the easy way
I wouldn't be the strong nigga that I am today
Everythang that I did
Different thangs I was told
Just ended up being food for my soul
Come and get yo' soul food, well well
Good old-fashioned soul food, all right
Everythang is for free
As good as it can be
Come and get some soul food
Sunday morning where you eating at?
Well, our father please forgive me

It's so soulful man it's so soulful man
So soulful man and when you hear it

It was so soulful man it's so soulful man
It's so soulful man
And right here is where it
Feels like soul food man
Look, my mami don't be playing
'Cause she know I got my game intact
I spit them lines that make a
Rapper have a brain attack
And chickens know I'm gonna do it
How I wanna do it and miss communication
No we never run into it
I got chicks like Simone and Cala
Stay with lip gloss and Fendi bag beside her
And your girl said you ain't ready for me
I'm in love so Mommy got
Me singing Tina Marie
How you bomb in Giovanni
She in Gucci and Prada
Chilling in a Mirada, studying like a scholar
So I don't even bother

It's so soulful man it's so soulful man
So soulful man and when you hear it
Is where it feels like soul food man

And right here is where it
Feels like soul food man
I know you got a lot of stress today
Let's hit the party like we just got paid
And if you really want to get away
And say yeah, yeah
Got people on your back constantly
And you never get a second to breathe
You know you gotta get a way with me so say
Yeah, yeah
I'mma worry about the trade then ball
Then try and trade it all
I'd rather catch up on my
Paper and invade the mall
You sore losers picked the wrong
Guy to take the fall
I probably trade in the fall what
They made in the fall
Went from a never quite was
To an overnight was cause the way I flip
Metaphor nobody quite does
By the time I leave the club
I'm wearing a public arms
Cause he must have been a pro the
Way see the pros and cons
They calling this the army, money boys are we
Say jay b hopping down when
I'm trying do my laundry
But I ain't even sorry for the
Way I get my dough cause J
Khayree and Kan got that food for your soul
It's so soulful man it's so soulful man
So soulful man and when you hear it
Is where it feels like soul food man
It was so soulful man it's so soulful man
It's so soulful man
And right here is where it
Feels like soul food man
So, all you scared to death negroes
Just sit down
Don't you come out to defend our enemy
You sit down and you shut up and tell your
Master to come on out and deal with this
Next time they bring up the Gods, you gon' respect us
That lil' vest ain't gonna do you, I shoot from neck up
I ain't even tryna hold you Magnolia Slim
I'm a soldier from that mode, I'm the ghost of him
From the era of police stretcher, no cameras catch him
Drop you off in a rival hood, you rather be arrested
If you didn't have no straps you couldn't wear your necklace
Niggas hand around your throat, that's a choker reference
My ancestors took old food made soul food
Jim Crowe's a trope too, he stole his own music
That's the blood that goes through me, so you assumin'
I could never sell my soul, they sold they soul to me
Peaceful teachings of Rumi, but don't confuse me
You mouth off for the cameras I'll make a silent movie
Now here's some jury
No civilization has conquered from the outside until they destroy themselves from within
Pen, put a pin in that, will come back when I fled
You can't talk like I talk 'cause you ain't been where I been, young
If it come from me and Hov, consider it Quran
If it come from any of those, consider it Harām
The minaret that Jigga built beyond the dome of the Roc
Was crafted, so beautifully, consider this Saddam
From a hard place and a rock to the Roc Nation of Islam
I emerged on the wave that Tidal made to drop bombs
I came to bang with the scholars
And I bet you a Rothschild I get a bang for my dollar
The synagogue of Satan want me to hang by my collar
But all praise due to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
I put on for my nation like I'm King T'Challa
Crushing the oyinbo that try to bring wahala
You want it, I got it
Don't make me have to blast this rocket, uh
Jay Electricity
The thing you need like a hole in his head is publicity
Go shine like a Christmas tree
Verily, verily, I tread through like merrily
Giving all thanks to God for this universal therapy
Think of things I said that you hated then
Empirical facts that can't be debated now
Things you say today, I was sayin' then
Tell us who your favorite now
My, my
Oh the feelin'
Of the sound
Precious and real and
Ooo that's nice
Whip up some steamin' jazz
The pot is on the stove
It's cookin'
Want some more

For some soul food
Good food, whole food

Maybe sometimes hold out a little too long
I took a right
Then I took a wrong turn
Someone asked me for a quarter
It didn't seem to fit
He didn't look too much like a chinaman
Trying to find chinatown
Trying to find chinatown
An old black man
Pushing a shopping trolley
Filled with tin cans
Avoided his glance
I'm nervous and I'm lost
And I don't see too many restaurants
A guy laid out
With a knife in his back
A cop came along
Told him, move on
Go home and sleep it off
I didn't know if I should get involved
Trying to find chinatown
Trying to find chinatown
Hold up see it's what I write
And Miss Lady acting like we in jail
Says she ain't got no extra hush puppis to sell
Bankhead seafood making me hit that door
With a mind full of attitude
It was a line at tha beautiful
JJ'S Ribshack was packed too
Looking to be one of dem days
When Momma ain't cooking
Everybody's out hunting with tha family
Looking for a little soul food
Come and get yo' soul food, well well
Good old-fashioned soul food, all right
Everythang is for free
As good as it can be
Come and get some soul food
