Rakim - Working For You lyrics

Yeah, let's get it cracking

I've been working for you
(it's for my ladies) doing all
I can (all I can)
All the time (all the time)
I've been working for you
(it's for my hustlers) doing all
I can (all I can)
All the time (all the time)
I've been working for you
(worldwide baby) doing all I can (all I can)
All the time (all the time)
I've been working for you
(yo TNT turn the mic up) doing
All I can (all I can) all the time

Listen, hey yo, what's good boo? I know I've
Got explaining to do
I've got some problems but none
Of them pertaining to you


It's mostly money, bills
Warrants that's just naming a few
I ain't complaining just let me win
The game and I'm through
I get my shit together stop
Living off the corner
Get the majority of my priorities in order
And in my goal is find a way
To get you out the slums
So we can roll through the
Neighborhood without the guns
And the grind my days is limited
Sinning and crime
Time is money but you wonder
How I'm spending my time
Am I really stacking paper or
I'm bending a dime
That's propaganda try not to let
That enter your mind yo hon
You listening? 'Cause when it
Come to flipping ones
And getting bundles in the jungle
I've got tunnel vision
Just stay focused there's a lot of road
I bridge the gap to get a lot of dough
Just help me with this pot of gold
'Cause you was there when the feds hit me
We took our vows in the penals
So you could do my bid with me
Private, visit's to jail you had
A kid with me now it's time to get the crib
With me, live with me, come on

I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)
I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)
I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)
I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)

If you don't hear from me
Call the priest and don't think papi cheating
If I ain't there something happened to me
The block is heated
Just go in the ceilings and the
Boxes and the closets keep it
I hid the yearly profit's we
Get in the Sealy Posturepedic
I got to leave it drugs
Squeezing guns and the ghetto
Last thing I wanna do is
Leave you a young widow
But the scent of papi's Issey
Miyake still on the pillow
So I'mma find a way to survive and stay alive
Don't let the Lexus scare you just
Let it just prepare you
I spraying nine's some thorough
Plus I'm extra careful
Got something good waiting for me you
Know I'll be there boo
Incredible head to toe plus the
Sex is rare too
Got you the cranberry Benz you
Say yeah I'm happy
But, you don't want nothing if
You can't have me
So I'mma switch the gig when
I get rich from this
Then go legit and handle businesses
Kiss the kids

I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)
I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)
I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)
I've been working for you, doing all I can
(all I can) all the time (all the time)

I ball for you, score for you, mall for you
I say I'm sorry
But at times I was wrong for you
Get into your beef for you, plus, I be loyal
I go gutter free for you
Even flush a key for you
Right now, I'm ready to change my lifestyle
Pipe down for you, lay the pipe down for you
Even call free for you, all week for you
Lay off the heat for you
Stay off the street for you
I'll take you out for lunch
Anything you want without the front for you
Put out the blunt for you
Make sure you safe and sound
Stay around for you
You gonna love the way your man
Lay it down for you
Hey, yo, hey ma, everything is uh huh
You got to know it
