Am I Worth You?
De La Soul

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, yeah


It's a pity that you're so dirty

Worthy of some Southern Hospital

See we them Northern boys with nose 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, why don't 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 hits


I make the best of the life I be with it

Making the most of the moment among the livin'

And it feels good 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'm 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

Me 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 shackles 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 have me in 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 knock em' and release some stress

By any means, these petty greens will only get me stuck in a box

Doin' a dick shot in Oz, jerkin' off in the J

But anyway I keep my head on


I make the best of the life I be with it

Making the most of the moment among the livin'

And it feels good 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'm 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' like it used to be

Nothin' in that life 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 offense

Try to make ya life tense but we still here

Still gainin' the love, still standin' above most


I make the best of the life I be with it

Making the most of the moment among the livin'

And it feels good 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'm asking am I worthy of you, of you

Am I worthy of you


I make the best of the life I be with it

Making the most of the moment among the livin'

And it feels good 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'm asking am I worthy of you, of you

Am I worthy of you
