i didn´t have time for school
spent my days breaking the rules and regulations
and inbetween they´re having fun
the teachers told me son, get me an education
so i had my bout of freedom
dressed like a man through four seasons
hey i´m steppin out so cut me loose
and as mama waved goodbye
tears were welling in her eyes
she don´t need them
i turned to her and said

i´ve got my soul education
you know its stitched into the clothes
that i wear
got my life information
upon the breeze that´s blowing through my hair
got a pocket full of rainbows
oh and a sky to put them in so blue
so let the music come and save you.
i found a god that i can pray to
deep inside my soul, hey.

see your mad you can´t delude
that there is no substitute
for intuition, it´s no superstition
so if you find your petrified,
to let some natural law apply
then there´s a whole lot missing baby yeah.
so you know i´m blessed celestially
got a direct link with destiny yeah
don´t ask me why
i´m in the sky
and if there´s green wax in your eye
somethings money just can´t buy, hey
rags to riches, babes to bitches
but the ride don´t mind cause i got my...

i know i got my soul education...
(repeat chorus x2).
