The Jungle Brothers - Doin' Good For Yourself lyrics

[ Baby Bam ] Souped up, gased up, got the fresh gear on Seen you with the Beamer and the new Liz Claybourne How you're doin, baby? Oh, you're doin good now? Go to slap you five and you raise an eyebrow See the brother changed cause he's full of ambition Seen the brother change cause he was on a mission Corn on the cob just to keep her job Treat the next kid like he's nothin but a slob Cause all you ever do is think about your wealth And makin sure you're always doin good for yourself You keep doin it That's all you ever do To think of only you Just doin good for yourself Just doin good for yourself [ Mike G ] Workin very hard, you work up, pray to God Hopin on TV will be your next job You go to work, you press some shirts Watch the blue tube and do your homework Slap your man five talkin like you're live In this time of life you still fight to survive You spot a break and break it some more Now there's two pieces layin on the floor Very much the same but different than the other This is what you call a faded out brother You say you got soul although you act cold State of mind changed along with your bankroll [ Baby Bam ] But check him out, huh, he's workin out, huh I guess that's what a hard-workin man is about You run around and run around until you get dizzy Changed up your look so I asked who was he Now that's nothin like Dexter my man I guess you got caught up in the wrong hands Word em up, word em up, huh, word em up, hops Cold set my brother up and called the cops Flipped on everybody, turned neighborhood squealer No different, just as bad as a drug dealer [ Mike G ] Girlfriend said that he was just a sweetie But caught by a biz that was a bit more meaty Ratted on your man's man, thinkin that you can-can Your man got slammed and now you're thinkin, "Goddamn Three strikes I'm out," now you done blew it You didn't think you was but very much so, you was That's all you ever do To think of only you Just doin good for yourself Just doin good for yourself That's all you ever do To think of only you Just doin good for yourself Just doin good for yourself You done dit it You done did it now [ Baby Bam ] So there he goes again, back bendin for the other I know you're doin business but we used to be good friends Kool & the Gang, hangin the hang and all that [ Mike G ] And all of a sudden, the push of a bu*ton, a new route [ Baby Bam ] Oh, sure I'm happy for you but you're always on your own Cause the lyrics you be kickin don't be workin in my zone And I gotta include, don't mean to be rude But you gotta change up your little funky attitude Cause it's lonely at the top especially when you go pop You flip-flap-flip and then you finally get dropped Got it locked doin for yourself, take it from me You're better off bein how you used to be It's like that I said you're better off bein how you used to be It's like that (Paid in full) --> Rakim That's all you ever do You think of only you Just doin good for yourself Just doin good for yourself That's all you ever do To think of only you Just doin good for yourself Just doin good for yourself [ repeated until fade ]
