[Intro: Teddy Riley]
Yeah
Kick it

[Verse 1: Teddy Riley]
It's Friday night and I just got paid
I'm checkin' out the city, layin' in the shade
I'm goin' to that jam just to release some tension
I'm gonna work them chains, maybe we can swing
I was sittin' at home waitin' for the booty call
'Cause I can't be alone tonight (Tonight), tonight's gotta be so right
Seems like today's my lucky day
I'm goin' with the flow, chillin' on the low, this is the good life

[Chorus: Teddy Riley & Blackstreet]
Gimme the bon
Gimme the bon, bon (Yeah)
Gimme the bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon bon vie
(Gimme the good life)
Gimme the good life (Hey, good)
Yeah, check it out

[Verse 2: Teddy Riley]
Another day in the good life, rollin' with my homies in the hood
We rollin' down the avenue, punani soufflé, lookin' good
We push up on a hoochie (Hoochie), they wanna get busy (Busy)
I'm rollin' posse deep, baby, don't you sleep
'Cause we got it goin' on
'Cause in the New Jack City, you gotta get paid in the shade
Checkin' up dough on the down low, you gotta go for what you know
So when you have no worries, you gotta move in a hurry
If you're slow, you blow, baby, don't you know
This is the good life
[Chorus: Teddy Riley & Blackstreet]
Gimme the bon, yeah
Gimme the bon, bon
Gimme the bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon bon vie
Gimme the good life (Gimme the good life, oh, oh)
Check it out

[Verse 3: Darren Callis | Teddy Riley | Chauncey "Black" Hannibal]
Splish splash, I was takin' a bath (Yeah)
On a Saturday night thinkin' about some ass (Ah)
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
I wanna exercise and make her butt sweat like a spa (Yeah)
Oh, yeah, I'm bringin' it like Tang
Direct with the flavor on that Blackstreet thing (Ah)
Lord have mercy, Lord, look at this shorty
I don't need a 40 to get naughty
'Cause I used to kick this for fun (Yeah)
I used to break dance and after that girls got done
And it wasn't just about gettin' numbers
It was about who can hit the more punani before the summer
And you can ask Blackstreet, Teddy, D. Wynn or me (Yeah)
And we can tell you how the good life's supposed to be
So give it up because it didn't come by luck
'Cause I could give a... (Oh, gimme the bon)

[Chorus: Blackstreet | Chauncey "Black" Hannibal | Teddy Riley]
Gimme the bon
Gimme the bon, bon (Oh yeah)
Gimme the bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon bon vie
(Gimme, gimme)
Gimme the good life (Gimme the good life, oh yeah)
Gimme the bon (Gotta give me the good life, yeah, yeah)
Gimme the bon, bon (Yeah, take it to the bridge)
Gimme the bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon, bon bon vie
(Ooh, all I need from you is a good life, yeah)
Gimme the good life (Yeah, yeah, check it out)
[Outro: Teddy Riley]
Alrighty, gotta give me the bon (Yeah)
Blackstreet's in effect
Alright, yo, it's the good life
