[Verse 1: Kid & Play + both]
Kid ‘N Play’s got the knack, Jack
To show you all where the soul is at
With the beat of the bass drum, it represents the hard
Yo Hurb, drop it, so Wiz can start
To contribute a scratch that match the batch of rhymes
Kid ‘N Play’s gonna bust one time
Don’t wait, it’s not too late to get wit’ it
Kid ‘N Play’s got it, now you come get it ‘cause
S-O-U-L spells SOUL
To us is just as good as gold
It’s a characteristic, the devil flips it
Some say it’s mystic—exactly what is it?
My soul rolls with the beat of the drum
And mine hits just as hard as a kick drum
A groove that moves and makes the crowd come alive
The soul of rap will never die

[Chorus]
I got soul…’cause I’m a soul man
I got soul…soul, ’cause I’m a soul man
I got soul, ‘cause I’m a soul man

[Verse 2: Kid ‘N Play]
Here we stand, form a band with a plan
To expand this hip hop jam
To house, club or dance, no one can
‘Cause a scam, we ain’t havin’ it, man
This is rap, some call it crap but the fact is
They lack the knack to stack or back up anything
Someone or something, somehow I’m hoping
This jam will open your mind
It’s time to understand that I’m not an average man
[Chorus]
I got soul…I got soul
I got soul…I got soul…’cause I’m a soul man
I got soul…I got soul
I got soul…I got soul, ’cause I’m a soul man
I got soul...
I got soul, come on and take a chance
I got soul, ‘cause I’m a soul man
I got soul if I can make you dance
I got soul, ‘cause I’m a soul man
I got soul…I got soul
I got soul…I gout soul, ‘cause I’m a soul man
‘Cause I’m a soul man
