Came back on an internal diet
Promise to feed the famine
They starving for this
I went to Haiti promiscuous
Came back oh so fidelis
True to only a select few
Don't believe what they telling you
Beautiful Soul is a movement
Soul is... Beautiful
Although people act ugly to me
I still see their beauty
I still would like some unity
But not to my destruction
Not to the detriment of my sista
Everyone acting so lawless
Like its cool
But really they hate organization
But really they hate rules
So I had to come back
And make it clear
You can say and do
Whatever you want
Just not here
Beautiful Soul s a movement
Soul is... Beautiful
So we don't play with it
How is Gary and Haiti
So different
To think they just love us
Is just not intelligent
Use your wisdom
What they need - keep giving 'em
No matter what you've heard
It's not just music, singing and words
The Soul is my religion
Because its what I practice
Only strangers are surprised
When they come into our set
I already knew
How beautiful it could get
Off hard work and sweat
I won't forget
I was the poorest person
Outside the projects
But my mind stayed fresh
So I stayed fresh
Everywhere I went
Leaving my influence
Depuis je parti Gary
Ca bouge pour nous
Quand j'etait en Tunisie et Cote D'Ivoire
Ca bouge pour nous
Quand j'etait avec Fela dans la Shrine
Ca bouge pour nous
Quand j'etait en Haiti avec le peuple
Ca bouge pour nous
See this aint nothing new
I can feature on any set
And on my set - I give anyone a feature
Ungrateful they were respected
They long to go to the city to get rejected
When they ask from whence they came
They hear our name
I went to Haiti gluttonous
Came back on an internal diet
Promise to feed the famine
They starving for this
I went to Haiti promiscuous
Came back oh so fidelis
True to only a select few
Don't believe what they telling you
Soul is...
