Mind Your Business

The first time I hit the wax it was the news of my block<br>Everybody in my neighborhood said "Puba don`t stop"<br>It was a four-man crew, Don Barren<br>My Mighty Shabazz, Dr. Who, and me, Grand Pu<br>Things started blowing up on a quick fast<br>Doing shows, buying clothes, getting crazy cash<br>I still stayed the same, ran around with my hair nappy<br>Matter of fact I`m doing good, made the jealous ones unhappy<br>"I knew you would make it" was their favorite line<br>But "Fuck that, I hope he fall" is really on their mind<br>Just because I found a way to make my pockets stay fat<br>Now a new thing: "Puba thinks he`s all that"<br>Yes, but there`s a found way to better my condition<br>"Bad luck, bad luck" is what the jealous ones keep wishing<br>Oh a crew broke up? I knew they wouldn`t last<br>But I refuse to lose so I bounce back on that ass<br>One for All, Brand Nubian<br>Yeah, that`s the new thing, now they back up on my ding-a-ling<br>Run and tell my girl, "Yo, Puba did this<br>He did that," cause they nose is in my crack<br>Like a reporter, but they don`t earn a quarter<br>To do that (Yo, they just jealous, black)<br>You know the flavor, of that jealous behavior<br>I`m just like Jesus Christ cause I`m you`re modern day savior<br>So hon knock it off, worry about your own shit<br>Just because your man ain`t shit, there ain`t no need to rhyme *ahem*<br>Same ones that used to wave, now they sticking up their finger<br>But I guess that`s the price you pay when you become a rap singer<br>I work hard, word to God, with supreme motivation<br>To find a way out since `85, try to jam my situation<br>But that`s okay because my old Earth told me<br>"Keep on moving, don`t stop, hon"<br>Now I`ll be damn if Grand Pub don`t get it done<br>I`ve no time to slow my roll on a jealous one<br>See I love to help others because Puba cares<br>I do more for my people than WIC or Welfare<br>Next time you see a brother down, stop and pick him up<br>Cause you might be the next one stuck<br><br> Word is bond, let`s move on<br> And we building on the situation of that in lyrics<br> Always trying to hold the black man back<br> We can`t live like that, we gotta help each other<br> You know what I`m saying? Brother to brother<br> Sister to sister, know what I`m saying?<br> Stay out my business, worry about your own, know what I`m saying?<br> Worry about your own, knowledge knowledge
