lyrics

I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna get down
I don't always wanna have to be the one
That comes with the sweetest sound
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna be real
I don't always wanna have to heyhey
To let you know how I feel
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna get down
I don't always wanna have to be the one
That comes with the sweetest sound every time
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna be real
I don't always wanna have to heyhey
To let you know how I feel

47 years
Whole lotta struggle and a whole lotta tears
Too many songs too many days
Too many crowds and I blew them all away and I
Give glory to god for
every single penny I was able to earn
But best believe some bridges really had to get burned
Oh thank you mother
Thank you father
Thank you brother for clearing a path
Thank you preacher
Thank you teacher for giving me the means to put
Clothes on my back
I'm doing it one for one more day
I'm doing it one more way
If they come and ask you what GB say
Tell em this is what I told you at
The end of the day lord

I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna get down
I don't always wanna have to be the one
That comes with the sweetest sound
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna be real
I don't always wanna have to heyhey
To let you know how I feel
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna get down
I don't always wanna have to be the one
That comes with the sweetest sound every time
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna be real
I don't always wanna have to heyhey
To let you know how I feel

GB's back!
Don't mistreat women and I don't smoke crack
Never work underhandedly
Or with people who will not be understanding me
I said I ain't got no time and
I can't get my time back
So before I waste too much more
Let me make it clear one more time that

I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna get down
I don't always wanna have to be the one
That comes with the sweetest sound
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna be real
I don't always wanna have to heyhey
To let you know how I feel
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna get down
I don't always wanna have to be the one
That comes with the sweetest sound every time
I don't always wanna sing soulful shit
Sometimes I just wanna be real
I don't always wanna have to heyhey
To let you know how I feel
