Gettin` It Lyrics

Gettin` It lyrics

That's right, album number ten, Short Dawg's in the house
It's gettin close
to the end y'all
But we gonna kick it like this on the last
album

Verse One: Too $hort

Now let me holler at ya partner, spit
this game
in you ear for a minute, quit complaining
Bout how you can't
spend it cause you ain't got it
You got what it takes but not enough to get
started
I hope you get the message, no it's not a test it's
Just me ridin
legit, they can't arrest me or bust me
I'm still hungry, I want some more
stuff
Get fat and watch my whole crew blow up
So get yours, and buy my
new album
Peep the game and don't be like Calvin
Get everything you want,
get real, get you mail
Get your girl to make bail and get your ass out of
jail
You should be gettin it, everything you want
Everything you dreamed
of, never have to front
you shoulf be gettin it, gettin money
I'm talking
bout you black, don't laugh it aint funny
You should get a good lawyer, like
Johnny Cochran
Swear to tell the truth, hell no I didn't pop him
Get your
kids in school, so they can get an education
Get a degree, and take a
vacation
You see I got all my game from the streets of California
Young
millionaire with no high school diploma
Livin real good, taking care of my
folks
roll up a fat one for the players to smoke
Short Dawg in the house,
I know you aint trippin
Cause Life is Too $hort you gotta Get In Where You
Fit In
Stop looking for what you never seem to find
It ain't what you
think you got to read between the lines
Cause life ain't long, for a young
black man
Tryin to make money doing all he can
Sellin dope don't ya hope
he would go to classB
But the boy makes money and he makes it fast
with
the twenties on top and the fifties on the bottom
I fuck the top notches oh
yes we got em
It's been a long time since I first got down
But I still
keep makin these funky sounds
Get your money man
Get yours

Chorus:
P-Funk

You should be gettin it
Get it while the gettin is good, get it
while you can
you should be gettin it
Get it while the gettin is good
(repeat as necessary)

Verse Two: Too $hort

I know you tired of
being broke just hanging out
You gotta lot a dreams but you can't get
out
The first thing you need to do is set your self some goals
Think
positive, everything else is old
and work hard, never stop hustlin
Cause
they just love to see the black man strugglin
(So what are you saying
Todd?)
It's time to come up, put your dollar bills in the air
He said
meet me at the White House and I was there
Cause I'm one in a million, black
man rising
They wanna keep me down but I always surprise em
Spend my money
in the hood, I know it's all good
and you should do the same I told you peep
the game
Too $hort, you know I'm the man
I lend my brother a hand cause I
know I can
I keep going and goin but I'm not the pink bunny
I'm not beatin
on a drum I never stop thinkin money
I'm gettin all I can if you don't ya
slip
I can't wait to get to heaven just to have a grip
When I was broke,
I couldn't afford a meal
But now I'm now rich I can't be fake I gots to keep
it real
It's been a long time baby since I first got down
But it still
keep making these funky sounds

Chorus

(I earned my respect in the
street
The ghetto's been good to me
I'm never going to turn my back
The
true and living so I got to kick the facts)
