  • Man I'm looking for the good life
    Something that you can't imagine
    Something you don't know
    Man I'm looking for the good life
    Baby girl I got a ticket, do you wanna go?

    Swelly, swelly, swelly,
    Swelly, swelly, swelly, swelly I call
    And we could have a good night
    Show me that you got some good sense
    Show me what you know
    Make your trunk go
    Make your make your trunk go
    Make make make make make make your trunk go

    Man I gotta be fresh and I gotta be ill
    We locate from the jungle where it's killed or be killed
    And I'ma get mine, don't care how you feel
    In an artificial world where nothing is real
    We searching for wild for something that's greater
    And hopefully I'll make it there sooner or later
    Remember I was younger and I didn't have a thing
    And then I had a dream they call Martin Luther King
    I'm swelly on top for the world it seems
    Cash rules everything around me get cream
    Good morning, to my haters all I say is good night
    They ask me what I'm looking for, I need a good life

    Man I'm looking for the good life
    Something that you can't imagine
    Something you don't know
    Man I'm looking for the good life
    Baby girl I got a ticket, do you wanna go?
    Swelly, swelly, swelly, swelly,
    Swelly, swelly, swelly I call
    And we could have a good night
    Show me that you got some good sense
    Show me what you know
    Make your trunk go
    Make your make your trunk go
    Make make make make make make your trunk go

    I bet you know now if you didn't know then
    I step into the booth and it's time to go in
    And P got the bass turned up the low end
    And this is that soul for the big "O" ten
    I never thought that I would be a man in the game
    I brush off my shirt where there used to be a stain
    I came a long way where I wasn't so fly
    Made music like Kweli just to get by
    I never had a job, but that couldn't stop him
    Cause now I get paid and I never clock in
    And I will never stumble, fall, or take a pay cut
    I'm in that elevator and I'm on my way up

    Man I'm looking for the good life
    Something that you can't imagine
    Something you don't know
    Man I'm looking for the good life
    Baby girl I got a ticket, do you wanna go?
    Swelly, swelly, swelly, swelly,
    Swelly, swelly, swelly I call
    And we could have a good night
    Show me that you got some good sense
    Show me what you know

    Man I'm looking for the good life
    Something that you can't imagine
    Something you don't know
    Man I'm looking for the good life
    Baby girl I got a ticket, do you wanna go?
    Swelly, swelly, swelly, swelly,
    Swelly, swelly, swelly I call
    And we could have a good night
    Show me that you got some good sense
    Show me what you know Writer/s: CHIDERA ANAMEGE, NOAH BERESIN, PHARRELL WILLIAMS
