Kweli, Talib - Good To You Lyrics
[Kweli + (woman's Voice)]
Yea (yeaaah)
Come on
Uhh
Yeah
[Bridge]
Yo Yo
Ayo my silent moments, loud as the crack of thunder
My hunger is like the crocodile that attacks the hunter
It ain't commercial or underground, its true cause I
(wanna be good to you)
[Chorus]
Call it skill, call it game, call it glow, call my name
Treat it like a drug, all up in ya vain cause (wanna be good to you)
[Verse 1]
We make the squares dance, and get the do like dotsey
Y'all niggaz roll with pussy-cats like Josey
All spoiled rotten like ghetto groceries yo
I clutch the mic like ya grandma clutch her rosary yo
Swooping the industry, like a bird to prey
My stance has got stamina, ya verses lack vertebrae
I heard them say I was a conscious rapper
But I'm a monster when I hafta smack the shit out of a nonsense actor
Using my 'hands solo' and I don't need chewy
Over your head like Yamakas and Koofies yo
Fuck the screen gems y'all niggaz act in B movies
Type of niggaz proud to be groupies
Followers in the herd running over the cliff
I'm the +Buffalo Soldier+, smoke ya like a dread like rasta
blowing the spliff, loading a clip to spit high
Like you holding blow in a stolen whip, rolling the strip
Looking to hit cops, now that's a 4 alarm
Black queen falling on my arms, you could call it charm
Mater fact call it what you want, its up to you bro
(wanna be good to you)
Yea
Yea
Yea
[Chorus (1x)]
[Verse 2]
How many niggaz ever been in love'
How many niggaz really think they thugs
And can't think without the drink and drugs
How many niggaz can't get in with hats and sneakers on
Say 'fuck security' and get inside and keep them on
How many niggaz think that gats make the weaker strong
Can't do for self and wanna snatch the plate you eating on
That don't take heart, slave, nigga play ya part
I'd rather jump over board nigga, face the sharks
We stay doing it, later for the conversation
Hammers is cocked and waiting, niggaz is not debating
We ain't got the patience You found popping shit
Come in to town just to run you down like poppa ditch
And dig a proper ditch, you lying like a politician
Your proposition meets opposition like contradictions
Get out my house, you ain't no real representative
I make it happen, you ain't official, you tentative
Niggaz is sensitive, see how they catching feelings
It's so hot, the sweat rise and it wet the ceiling
Barracuda, Spitkicker nigga that's the crew (wanna be good to you)
[Breakdown]
Whoo! (yeaahh)
Come on
Yeah
Low ride
Yo
Yo
Yo
[Verse 3]
Niggaz be claiming shit, find a gangsta movie, put
they name in it, biting like there ain't no shame in it
You the hardest on the beat, I'm the fire that you playing with
You a artist from the street, I'll give you the blood to paint it with
So yeah I'm positive, I'm positive I'm the best
Spit bullets to split ya vest and deposit them in ya chest
Dark is the flesh on my bones, calling Brooklyn home
Hang up on niggaz like 'I want you to meet my nigga tone, word
Leave me alone like Michael Jackson
Or there will be more than butterflies in your stomach
waiting to see what happens
You see me out, know that my crew is flawless
So called gangstas need more security than the Rawkus office
Yo, I thought you bust ya gun
You just a big joke, thinking you a Big Pun
Yo, Kayne this is the big one (wanna be good to you)
me and my niggaz having big fun
[Bridge (1x)]
[Chorus (1x)]
Come on,
BK and
BX and
Q boro and
Manhattan and
Harlem niggaz and
Long Island
Wanna be good to you you you come on! (wanna be good to you)
The whole world rocking
Yo the whole world rocking
Ayo uhh

..this is golden, it will always be . Period.
You ain't official, you tentative 🔥🔥🔥 Leave me alone like Michael Jackson, or there be more than butterflies in your stomach waiting to see what happens 💎💎💎
Don't know why yall say kanye don't produce like this, he's still doing this, y'all just ain't paying attention. When the hell did kanye stop sampling?? 😂😂
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Masterpiece
I rather jump overboard and face the sharks!
Classic shit ❤️❤️
Thump up forever..!!!!
Kanye bodied this sample
here for kanye
I've come to the conclusion there's no money in real hip hip and that's why people like Kanye switch styles dramatically, I mean u can still be making real hip hip everyday handing ur label 30 bangers a day but they most likely not gonna see the light of day... where's ur radio single?

De Ge yooo I wanna start making my own beats. influenced by early ye
When Kanye was VERY hungry

Play some tunes Im coming over If I catch you on the R rated version I will scream it like a roller coaster guns engine Changes scene new movie new director new muse feeds my interest like a graphing calculator with no pocket protector. co-driver moves stick her foot slips over and I notice the accelerator pedal gets squeezed and this muscle car gets a hold a hold of the pressure in that aerodynamic fuel injector feels the a killer cobra coming crawling over wrapping its gas pedal up on the 5 cylinder dis disambiguating co-conspirator feels the throttle all night like true believers whistling angelic tunes.

Yarmulkes and kufis
RockBandicoot - heavy!!!
Before Kanye was a Kardashian
Preach!
Righttttt 🤦🏾♀️
Real hip hop brought me here
I miss these kanye beats, not saying the ones he making now aren't good but just don't touch my soul, they're more loud and kinda of ear screaching now
jarelle woodhouse *screeching
Clever sample of Al Green's "Simply Beautiful"
king.... from angola
Chayotik-Good To You
Check out our two artists, Casey and Colby Menard go over this song, "Good To You", off of Casey Menard's first official solo project, The Wayward Son. The video, "Where I've Been", is on our YouTube channel.
He just said he used Nas' Ether flow on this whole song. Never realized it before.
@WhtMike2006 I just came to check this song out after I saw that interview. Brilliant (-_-)
Esas manos arriba cabrones!!Increíble Kweli
hes still in his prime
Well, Rick Rubin actually came on 3 days before the album's release so he just mixed it better and added touches. And daft punk produced 4 beats with kanye. But you're right kanye definitely didn't do even near the entire album's production, but MBDTF was a work of art, and i count that as "new Kanye"
i dont know. i dont even know who he produces for now because hes not producing for himself anymore. that last album was produced by rick ruben. well im not entirely to sure, i know at least he was the executive producer on it. Not sure about the beats.
so false
still does
you're right, you can't compare them, because they are both good in their own ways. Kanye now makes incredibly complex masterpieces/intricate beats. But this old awesome stuff is the typical soul-sampling of Mr. West. In my opinion, all Kanye-production is amazing.
Kanye still in the man
..it ,surely, is the big one
riiight 1. im 24 2. in response to your other comment i have no kids. 3. you are proving time and time again how much of a sad and ignorant individual you are, and this is done. I'm not entertaining you anymore.
Nigga Kanye will still be in his prime when you die which by looking at your pic means about 2-4 years from now FUCK BOY
Kendall B kanye sucks now. his beats are trash and his bars are corny
Nigga sit yo 65 year old ass down trying to be cool, nigga go kill yo kids and yo then yoself FUCK BOY
i can bet you its only the people that are 18 yo and under that think kanye is still making good music. end of convo.
1 did you call me a fuck boy?? you are pretty lame bruh. 2 hop off of his nuts. you cant compare these beats to the crap he produces now and has people producing for him. he is far past his prime.
Kanye is still in his PRIME fuck boy
whats ether?
Bender Over are you kidding?
Bender Over diss song by Nas directed towards Jay-Z
"Using my 'hands solo', and I don't need Chewy
Over your heads like yarmulkes and kufis"
Seriously... Kweli is the fucking man.
you right dude, that ether flow is on point
I just saw that interview too
I had to have listened to this at least 100 times and never paid attention that he used Nas' pattern from ether until he said it on his sway interview
Kanye when he was still Hip Hop Producing ... word
itunes shuffle stop of the day...now let's go to work
KANYE WEST BETTER THAN JAY Z FOOL...JAY Z A BITTER
reflection eternal.
no doubt. reflection eternal.
Late Registration is poop? Graduation is poop? My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is poop? you don't know music
yea but g unit used a differently sampled beat
kanye shouldve stayed a producer, like jay used to think but won't say
Ahhh, so this is where G-Unit went as well:
'I'm a 360 nigga, 730 all the way dirty
I got that burner on me now, you heard me
Tasted the good life twice, rap and shooting dice
Hell naw, I ain't put my head between her legs
Smelled like a philly wood grain
Bitch I'm balling, in a Bentley continental see bitch I'm hauling
You got to want to win like I want to win and do things my way
If not I'll put your ass out on the highway'
“you just a big joke, thinking you a Big Pun”
this track (and entire album) takes me back to the honeymoon phase of my relationship with hip hop.
@throwdown006 Funny how many people think a male voice sampled in a higher pitch is a females.
@sinitus agree 100%
It's not a woman's voice. It's an Al Green sample.
@sinitus he still is
@NakedBrainStudios Real Talk I feel your pain
Yua Yua.
this was when kanye as still in his prime.
Ye beat
