Mind Your Business

"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 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 "
