Am I Worth You? Lyrics
[Intro: Glenn Lewis]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh yeah
[Verse 1: Posdnuos]
It's a pity that you're so dirty
Worthy of some Southern hoes-pital
See we them Northern boys with knows and hows
NYC livin' ain't nothin' like it
See how me and my peeps fit, we jigsaw
Sometimes I play big saw to cut the deal
And we keepin' them bills paid with meals in the mouths of many
A noble job at Feni
Money ain't everything but everything makes me want it
But won't dishonor my name so the claim throwers
Act like game on the dice on the mic device
Stay above middle class for life
Not an easy task but I've grown to love it
Dub it to tape, watch you whip a grin
While I speak to my mens about the world problems
And girl problems with no immediate way to solve em'
But I'm on the case
[Hook: Glenn Lewis]
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Life, I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh yeah
[Verse 1: Posdnuos]
It's a pity that you're so dirty
Worthy of some Southern hoes-pital
See we them Northern boys with knows and hows
NYC livin' ain't nothin' like it
See how me and my peeps fit, we jigsaw
Sometimes I play big saw to cut the deal
And we keepin' them bills paid with meals in the mouths of many
A noble job at Feni
Money ain't everything but everything makes me want it
But won't dishonor my name so the claim throwers
Act like game on the dice on the mic device
Stay above middle class for life
Not an easy task but I've grown to love it
Dub it to tape, watch you whip a grin
While I speak to my mens about the world problems
And girl problems with no immediate way to solve em'
But I'm on the case
[Hook: Glenn Lewis]
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Life, I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
[Verse 2: Trugoy the Dove]
Pull them quarters down
I got some things on these nine ounces to vamp, we on a mission y'all
Dug fresh dirt out the ground
Lookin' for the treasures in life
A bambino picket fence around the residence
I wore these shackels here for thirteen years
But the only real slaves is the ones we record on
We off all checks and God's blessin'
Tryin' to own a thousand island like we salad dressin'
Patience for the main course
Don't hand me the position to remain boss
Cause the man next to the man above the exec
Don't give a damn if I papered yet
Sometimes it make me wanna go make a bet
I did away with Malcolm and release the stress
By any means, these petty greens will only get me stuck in a box
Doin' a dick shot in Oz (Huh?), jerkin' off in the J
But anyway I keep my head on
[Hook: Glenn Lewis]
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Life, I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
Pull them quarters down
I got some things on these nine ounces to vamp, we on a mission y'all
Dug fresh dirt out the ground
Lookin' for the treasures in life
A bambino picket fence around the residence
I wore these shackels here for thirteen years
But the only real slaves is the ones we record on
We off all checks and God's blessin'
Tryin' to own a thousand island like we salad dressin'
Patience for the main course
Don't hand me the position to remain boss
Cause the man next to the man above the exec
Don't give a damn if I papered yet
Sometimes it make me wanna go make a bet
I did away with Malcolm and release the stress
By any means, these petty greens will only get me stuck in a box
Doin' a dick shot in Oz (Huh?), jerkin' off in the J
But anyway I keep my head on
[Hook: Glenn Lewis]
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Life, I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
[Verse 3: Posdnuos]
I know people who tippy-toe through they own stompin' ground
Master not makin' a sound to stay safe
From the local star renaissance
And the response is usually the same
Wishin' it was like it used to be
None of that world is new to me
We roll like eyes on a ghetto girl
Brushin' off some no-man cause she's his ghetto pearl
We into livin' beyond not livin' fads
Me and my comrades became dads young
Try to have fun amongst responsibility
Like fillin' these accounts full
Got caught up at a party in Bull's
Sometimes gotta have the nerve to say some rhymes
Because some minds take offence
Try to make ya life tense but we still here
Still gainin' the love, still standin' above most
[Hook: Glenn Lewis]
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Now I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Life, I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
I know people who tippy-toe through they own stompin' ground
Master not makin' a sound to stay safe
From the local star renaissance
And the response is usually the same
Wishin' it was like it used to be
None of that world is new to me
We roll like eyes on a ghetto girl
Brushin' off some no-man cause she's his ghetto pearl
We into livin' beyond not livin' fads
Me and my comrades became dads young
Try to have fun amongst responsibility
Like fillin' these accounts full
Got caught up at a party in Bull's
Sometimes gotta have the nerve to say some rhymes
Because some minds take offence
Try to make ya life tense but we still here
Still gainin' the love, still standin' above most
[Hook: Glenn Lewis]
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Now I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
I make the best of the life I been giving
Making the most of the moment among the livin' and it feels good
Closer to being the man that I want to be
Do what I can cause I refuse to see
The best of luxury, God's been good to me
Life, I keep asking
Am I worthy of you, of you
Am I worthy of you
