The first time I hit the wax it was the news of my block  Everybody in my neighborhood said "Puba don't stop"  It was a four-man crew, Don Barren  My Mighty Shabazz, Dr. Who, and me, Grand Pu  Things started blowing up on a quick fast  Doing shows, buying clothes, getting crazy cash  I still stayed the same, ran around with my hair nappy  Matter of fact I'm doing good, made the jealous ones unhappy  "I knew you would make it" was their favorite line  But "Fuck that, I hope he fall" is really on their mind  Just because I found a way to make my pockets stay fat  Now a new thing: "Puba thinks he's all that"  Yes, but there's a found way to better my condition  "Bad luck, bad luck" is what the jealous ones keep wishing  Oh a crew broke up? I knew they wouldn't last  But I refuse to lose so I bounce back on that ass  One for All, Brand Nubian  Yeah, that's the new thing, now they back up on my ding-a-ling  Run and tell my girl, "Yo, Puba did this  He did that," cause they nose is in my crack  Like a reporter, but they don't earn a quarter  To do that (Yo, they just jealous, black)  You know the flavor, of that jealous behavior  I'm just like Jesus Christ cause I'm you're modern day savior  So hon knock it off, worry about your own shit  Just because your man ain't shit, there ain't no need to rhyme *ahem*  Same ones that used to wave, now they sticking up their finger  But I guess that's the price you pay when you become a rap singer  I work hard, word to God, with supreme motivation  To find a way out since '85, try to jam my situation  But that's okay because my old Earth told me  "Keep on moving, don't stop, hon"  Now I'll be damn if Grand Pub don't get it done  I've no time to slow my roll on a jealous one  See I love to help others because Puba cares  I do more for my people than WIC or Welfare  Next time you see a brother down, stop and pick him up  Cause you might be the next one stuck     Word is bond, let's move on   And we building on the situation of that in lyrics   Always trying to hold the black man back   We can't live like that, we gotta help each other   You know what I'm saying? Brother to brother   Sister to sister, know what I'm saying?   Stay out my business, worry about your own, know what I'm saying?   Worry about your own, knowledge knowledge
