DJ Khaled Ft Jadakiss & Pusha T – Good Man Lyrics

DJ Khaled connects up Pusha T and Jadakiss for the 15th track on his Grateful album.

The producers Cool & Dre and 808-ray connect with Khaled flipping 1967’s Them Two track, “Am I A Good Man?” to provide a hard-hitting instrumental.

The context of the song revolves around Pusha’s and Jadakiss’ past as drug dealers and the song finds Pusha bragging about being the “only one left from the drug era” and being of a “rare breed,” while Jadakiss raps on similar themes, calling his competitors “peasant[s]” that “don’t deserve [his] presence.”

Good Man Lyrics by DJ Khaled Ft Jadakiss & Pusha T

[Intro: Pusha T & DJ Khaled]
Yeah
We the Best Music!
DJ Khaled!

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Please, Khaled, don’t pair me or compare me
Unless the said party is a rare breed
The stories I hear, they tend to mirror me
At this point now, rap is only therapy
President Push—I’m more Eric B.
I ain’t no joke—check out my melody
Felony, felony, felony, that’s all they selling me
But two million in large bills is billing me
I was on the wrong side of the law
Like Pac was on the wrong side of the car
Like B.I.G. at the Soul Train Awards
The moral is all greats been driven
G-Wagons are bulletproof
The ones before me got snatched like bullet tooth
Tony nigga, only one left from the drug era
The jewelry weighs more in the drug mirror
[Interlude: Pusha T]
Yeah, what you see when you look in the mirror, nigga? Haha
Yeah, I know who the fuck I am

[Verse 2: Pusha T]
Yuugh, tell me how you fit in
Was you a street nigga when Nas said It’s Written
When Reasonable Doubt dropped, how was you living?
I was leading up the grinding in my kitchen
Getting work from Detroit like a piston
We was on a mission, stuff it in a Michelin
I could spend a year reminiscing
The length of your career, reminiscing
We can’t occupy the same space
We ain’t even running the same race
When it come to these bitches, it ain’t the same chase
Moynat vs Céline, we ain’t the same taste
Therefore, it’s no comparison
To be mentioned with you niggas is embarrassing
I am one Joe Blow, you know my narrative
Clear your sinus like Claritin
Push

[Interlude: Jadakiss]
When you look in the mirror, what do you see, nigga?
‘Cause I know when I look in the mirror, I know what I see
You peasants don’t deserve my presence

[Verse 3: Jadakiss]
You portraying other individuals
Me, I’m just weighing my residuals
From where success is the bare minimal
You a rapper, I’m a criminal
I had money before they found y’all
That’s why I feel funny around y’all
Lord, bless those praying for my downfall
If I get too deep, don’t let me drown, y’all
Hearing ’em talking ’bout how to flip a key
Started moving that Daddy Kane and Nicky D
Had the whole YPD sick of me
Don’t sit, if you get tired, just pick a knee
Bet it all or bet it large
Now the coke, all these pills, and the crack, all these credit cards
I just laughed and I shrug at it
‘Cause the niggas with the money are the drug addicts
Kiss
