You Got My Back Lyrics by The UMC’s

Fruits of Nature

1991

[Verse 1: Haas G. + (Kool Kim)]
It’s all gotta be real (real), no, not a dream (a dream)
It’s schemes, the element I feel is good (how good?)
I feel so secure, you watch my back you’re your (my) eyes, of course
It’s obvious how you just apply the force
When the time calls for it, I know you’re sparker of brutality
But you’re the beneficial pal to be down
If we must by law hit town—run around and settle those scores
(Yeah, I’m down for that)
[Chorus]
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
[Verse 2: Kool Kim + (Haas G.)]
Don’t mean you hang on my coattails
You got my back, you watch my rear
You watch my rear, you got my back
So when the coast is clear, we chill like that (like that)
Like this, you didn’t make it known that you was handy you’re your fists
But when I needed bros, you was the first one to enlist
You stayed by side, you didn’t let your pride affect
(They gave me respect) And everything goes correct, so…
When other friendships are done and gone, ours is going strong
That’s the reason why you’ll always see some unity
The brothers who affiliate with me (it’s like that)
[Chorus]
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
(“All right”) *scratched*
[Verse 3: Haas G. + (Kool Kim)]
Now let’s take a look through the magic window
When I was a bit immature and devious (devious)
Guardian, no mother, no father figure, others couldn’t move me
I had a mind of my own
Reference call (all hail the Haasy)
Now let us all gather ‘round and watch the
Maturing of a mind of a mischievous kid
Making up rhymes with another that did
Stand by my side at a ripe early age
Now I’m 20, and I’ve experienced plenty
Animosities like others watching me and concluding my lifestyle’s a joke
I think that’s wack (wack), definitely bogus
(Your feelings my surface) It’s only right they know it’s
A true buddy system and the Kool and me comes through
Thick or thin, no matter where or when
Don’t matter if it’s you, soloist or true (I won’t slack)
[Chorus]
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
[Verse 4: Kool Kim + (Haas G.)]
I was never one for gangbangin’
Ran with some brothers, but mainly we was hangin’
And if it was some beef, most of them was chicken
Some of them was hypocrites, so then I started pickin’
People of a parallel nature
Conquering thought modes, helps to sedate the (triumphant venues)
And next on the menu, a new world order as we continue
Expanding, expanding geometrically
The U is never two and the me is never we
The he is never us, we trust it’s an achiever
If vision is a gift of fame, I’m a believer (believer of what?)
That trouble’s on a default, croppin’, up and comin’
(Yeah, but you won’t see me runnin’) Well, it’s an actual fact
[Chorus]
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
It makes me feel good you got my back
(“All right”) *scratched*
