Catching a suntan and everything's cool
 Male or female  you want to be set
 In the big mansion drinking Moet
 You read the Wall Street Journal
 Later for the comic
 Far from dumb because you practice logic
 You lived poor in the ghetto
 Never had the money easily
 But  you found the remedy
 So  you  your girl  and your kids could have a better opportunity
 And teach them all about unity
 Cultivating in the brains the words of Allah the master
 And they go far
 But, you still go visit your old stomping ground
 Indeed to help another that's down
 A tough situation cuts like a knife
 In search of the good life

 From the church, the home, on down to the prison
 People want to know how is he and she living
 Does he work?
 Do you wonder if his life will bloom?
 Is the girl going to have the kid anytime soon?
 How's the mother?
 Do they ever go visit the brother?
 What about the dad?
 I heard he drinks undercover
 Some are still shooting up, another on crack
 Just the other day trooper got sent back
 What type of life do you lead?
 Tell me
 'Cause you can be anything you want to be
 Some will strive for the good life in any case
 The mind is a terrible thing to waste
 On drugs, violence, and hatred of another color
 Hear me now, brother
 All around the world the husband and wife
 Work night and day in search of the good life

 The G double O-D L-I-F-E
 Living in luxury
 Care free
 Period
 No time to waste
 We catch ours all day
 We work instead of play
 I B-U-I-L-D inside me
 Knowledge and quickly you vacate the city
 From a paranoid mental delusion
 Plain and simple
 I won't cause confusion
 Yo, that's your fault
 Stop the somersault
 'Cause I put the bad like mo to a halt
 My destiny I define is heavenly
 So, Fort Knox, open sesame
 Light shines and the birds keep singing
 As I still cling to my positive upbringing
 With the need to succeed, right?
 On a natural high
 The good life
