CHORUS
You know we got to take control,
When youâre dealing with the soul,
You know weâve got it going on,
Itâs so easy to see,
That you want to get with me,
You know weâve got it going on yeah.
VERSE 1
Have you ever heard the expression soul on ice?
I guarantee you when it comes to girls itâs something real nice,
Because I was straight lounging in this jazz store for records,
Peeped this very fine lady and thought damn I have to check her,
I had one eye on this honey the other in the jazz selection,
Her skin was a kind of caramel toffee complexion,
I thought that I was dreaming, slapped myself DL wake up,
The type of girl, who looked so fine and didnât put on make up,
And I was bugged out; Iâve never felt this way before,
And by the time I calmed down she was leaving the store,
Yeah she was going real quick yes a real fast walker,
I didnât want to follow her and make myself look like a stalker,
But damn she had this innocence in her eyes,
There ainât no way Iâm going to get her number if I donât try,
So I proceed out the store, check it Iâm getting older,
Ran up a few yards and gently tapped her on the shoulder,
And as I went to speak not one word I could utter,
Because my nose was hooked on this faint smell of coco butter,
Her was slick back relaxed and mad straight,
When I finally spoke I said hold up wait,
Are you from around here? Whatâs your name kid and where you going,
Who are you with? A couple of things I must be knowing,
Whatâs those seven numbers you got but no I couldnât sweat,
Because this girl was so fine I called her Soul Silhouette.
CHORUS
VERSE 2
Her voice was cute and sounded sweet like a fruit,
I hope she wasnât the type thatâs only out for loot,
Because everything around me right now had now relevance,
And when she spoke you could tell she spoke of intelligence,
She got more soul than anybody I know,
I canât believe the way she looked and I was caught in her flow,
Electrifying my soul, she said you fellowâs want to get with me,
And even if you donât you go around claiming you slept with me,
I said you girl donât even play me that way,
And if you do not want to know me then honey thatâs Ok,
She kind of stopped me in my tracks because she knows the deal,
Loved the way that I talked and the way it made her feel,
Would have stopped in a second if those vibes were wack,
And I could feel a little static with the eye contact,
Hey yo I glanced at my watch then she asked me the time,
I started checking in my pocket for that ill dope rhyme,
That I was writing this morning for my brand new track,
She took out her Parker pen and wrote her number on the back,
Sometimes itâs hard to find a girl like this in your city,
And even when sheâs mad damn she still looks pretty,
I had to check my DJ because he was in effect,
She said sheâs got to go, she said sheâs got to jet,
And as she said that hey yo she sparked a cigarette,
Yo she was so fine I called her soul silhouette.
