Jungle Brothers

The Jungle Brothers are an American hip hop group that pioneered the fusion of jazz and hip-hop and also became the first hip-hop group to use a house-music producer. The group began performing in the mid-1980s and released its first album, Straight Out the Jungle, in July 1988. With Afrocentric lyrics and innovative beats, the Jungle Brothers were critically acclaimed and soon joined the influential Native Tongues collective. The original trio comprised Michael Small (Mike Gee), Nathaniel Hall (Afrika Baby Bam, a homage to Afrika Bambaataa) and Sammy Burwell (DJ Sammy B). Sammy B left the group after the group released Raw Deluxe in May 1997. more »

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 
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 

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 
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 

Wooh, uh huh 
Because I got it like that 
You want to know why, brother? 
Because I got it like that (uh huh) 
I ain't jokin', I ain't playin', it's just my brother 
I got it like that (ah ha ha)

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 want to give me up, so they agreed to share 

Because I got it like that 
I hear you, brother, word 
Because I got it like that 
Man, you's one baaaaaad 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?
