Because I Got It Like That Lyrics - Straight Out The Jungle - The Jungle Brothers

Because I got it like that, uh huh 

Because I got it like that, wooh, uh huh 

Because I got it like that (like how?) 

Like that 

Dancin' on the dance floor 

Girl, it's you that I adore 

Step on stage, you scream for more 

Africa 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 

Yeah, uh huh 

Because I got it like that 

Yeah, uh huh 

Because I got it like that 

Ah ha ha, uh huh 

Because I got it like that (like how?) 

Like that 

No problem, (why?) because I got it like that 

A Baby Bam beat and an African rap 

My partner by my side, Sammy be 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 

A hundred thousand 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 

Wooh, uh huh 

Because I got it like that 

I got it like that (uh huh) 

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 pretty 

I had it all spread out, even one next door 

I had it like that, so what ya askin' for? 

Four to five, 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, Africa was the one they loved 

So you see, it got to a point where they didn't care 

They didn't want to give me up, so they agreed to share 

Because I got it like that 

(I hear you, brother) 

Because I got it like that 

(Man, you's one bad jungle brother) 

Like that 

Like that 

Uh, wooh, Sammy be, be, 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? (Detroit?) 

Who? Detroit? 

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 (D.C.) 

Yea, D.C., D.C. Got it like that 

Boston, Miami, I know you got it like that, Miami 

Word, word up, yo, I'm outta here, you know why? 

Because I got it like that
