Jungle Brothers - Because I Got It Like That lyrics

Your rating:

A: Because I got it like that, uh huh
 Because I got it like that, wooh, uh huh
 Because I got it like that
 G: Like how?
 A: Like that

 Verse 1: Afrika, Mike G

 Dancin' on the dance floor
 Girl, it's you that I adore
 Step on stage, you scream for more
 Afrika got rhymes galore
 Snap my fingers, make you mine
 If not, I'll snap a second time
 After that, I guarantee
 You will be standing next to me
 Left or right side, take your pick
 But girl, you've got to make it quick
 Baby, baby, baby
 I know I drive you crazy

 MC's know me as Mike G
 Girls hold on to me tightly
 Warm personality
 That's why they get close to me
 Try their best to drive me wild
 Say they want to bear my child
 I go away, they say, "Come back"
 Why? Because I got it like that

 Chorus:

 A: Yeah, uh huh
 G: Because I got it like that
 A: Yeah, uh huh
 G: Because I got it like that
 A: A ha ha, uh huh
 G: Because I got it like that
 A: Like how?
 G: Like that

 Verse 2: Afrika, Mike G

 No problem, (why?) because I got it like that
 A Baby Bam beat and an African rap
 My partner by my side, Sammy B is on the cut
 Your DJs chill and chill, but hey, so what?
 Nuggets in my pocket, wine in my hand
 I got it like that, but you still don't understand
 It comes to me natural, it comes to me easy
 I just lay back and let the big beat lead me
 I never work a day in my life
 Single jungle brother, no kids, no wife
 100,000 rhymes from one band, that's many
 But back where I come from, they ain't worth a penny
 You've got a lot of talent, but you fail to see
 You paid for yours, I got mine for free

 Play in the rain and don't get wet
 Walk through the desert and don't even sweat
 Play in the snow and don't get cold
 I'm just a cool young brother who looks kinda old
 Love around the world schoolin' the sound
 If I could bet a crowd and get caught us loud
 I've got ladies uptown and money on the floor
 There's not a thing in the world that I'm askin' for

 Chorus 2:

 A: Wooh, uh huh
 G: Because I got it like that
 You wanna know why, brother?
 Because I got it like that
 A: Uh huh
 G: I ain't jokin', I ain't playin', it's just my brother
 I got it like that
 A: A ha ha

 Verse 3: Afrika

 Used to be a player, couldn't be trusted
 But still in all, I never got busted
 Knowin' every part of New York City
 I thought it was fun, it used to look witty
 I had it all spread out, even one next door
 I had it like that, so what ya askin' for?
 4 to 5, you see, was my minimum
 And every day, I used to go and get with 'em
 One for every hour on the hour
 One on the way while I was in the shower
 It sounds kinda crazy, it sounds kinda bugged
 But you see, Afrika was the one they loved
 So you see, it got to a point where they didn't care
 They didn't wanna give me up, so they agreed to share

 Chorus 3:

 A: Because I got it like that
 G: I hear you, brother, word
 A: Because I got it like that
 G: Man, you's one baaaaaad jungle brother
 A: Like that
 Like that

 Outro:

 A: Uh, wooh, Sammy B, B, you got it like that
 I know you got it like that
 Yo Mike G from the Jungle Brothers, man
 New Orleans got it like that
 New York City got it like that
 Los Angeles got it like that
 Cleveland got it like that
 Let me see, who else got it like that?
 G: Detroit
 A: Who?
 G: Detroit
 A: Man, yeah, Atlanta got it like that
 Philadelphia got it like that
 Texas got it like that, let me see
 Somebody else got it like that
 G: D.C.
 A: Yea, D.C., D.C. got it like that
 Boston, Miami, I know you got it like that, Miami
 G: Word
 A: Word up, yo, I'm outta here, you know why?
 Both: BECAUSE I GOT IT LIKE THAT
