Good For/At Nothing
I can’t do nothing for anybody anymore, thank God
I can’t do nothing for no nobody no no more, thank God

Samuel Says:
I once did something
For some somebody
But what for?
Ask God

Now, I ran for something
Any everybody
On the floor
Oh God

Tell me what are you good for
Are good for nothing?
Is that what you’re good for?
Aren’t you good at something?
Yes, that’s what I’m good for
I am good at something
That’s exactly what I’m good for
I am good for nothing

I can’t do nothing for anybody anymore, thank God
I can’t do nothing for no nobody no no more, thank God
