Soft hair Smooth skin Nice teeth Enticing Knowing what good fortunes all these would bring Soft hands Smooth face Nice build A young thing Haste decisions with no direction; consequences to deal with Soft voice Smooth game Nice approach Pullin' those Thinkin' he grown 'cause he the oldest, smokin' squares and doin' bold things Thinkin' he got this Thang called life all figured out 'Till he figured out his seed would sprout What to do now He still lived in his mother's house Good thing he never doubted having to step up to the plate like a man But his troubles had only began Soft heart Smooth demeanor Nice look on life "This gone be easy," he said "I'm generic in every factor, they should accept me," he said Soft blows Smooth no's Nice rejections Now he's perplexed and He just can't understand, he had it all figured out They messed up all his plans, he had it all figured out Soft facial curves Smooth features Nice genes A black man Say no more but the latter, to them that's all that matters Thinkin' he got this Thang called life all figured out 'Till he figured out He'd never be given a benefit of doubt What to do now Just wanted to make his mama proud Take care his girls 'for they got wild His troubles would never end it seemed Soft no longer Smooth takes over Niceates necessities No questions please as he's speaking on his mind Throughout his troubles, tell what he finds Hopin he got this Thang called life all figured out Because he finally figured out that Life ain't ever what it seems You get delt terrible cards, and to everyone happens terrible things Yes even him But he must simply Live out life abiding by right Make sure he pray and hold on tight 'Cause it's gonna be a long bumpy ride
