Yo, let me holla at you, partna
Spit this game in your ear for a minute
Quit complainin' about 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
Just me ridin' a jit, they can't arrest me or bust me
I'm still hungry, I want some mo' 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 your 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 should be gettin' it, gettin' money
I'm talkin' 'bout your black, don't laugh, it ain't funny
You should get a good lawyer like Johnnie Cochran
Swear to tell the truth, niggas know 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, takin' care of my folks
Roll up a fat one for the players to smoke
$Hort Dog in the house, I know you ain't trippin'
'Cause life is too short, you gotta get it when you can
And stop lookin' for what you never seem to find
It ain't what you think, you gotta read between the lines
'Cause life ain't long for a young black man
Tryin' to make money, doin' all he can
Sellin' weed, don't you hope he would go to class?
But the boy makes money and he makes it fast
With the 20's on top and the 50's on bottom
A flock of 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, mayne
Get yours
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
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
Get your money, mayne (Get it while the gettin' is good)
Get yours (Get it while the gettin' is good)
You should be gettin' it
I know you tired of bein' broke, just hangin' out
You got a lot of dreams but you can't get out
The first thing you need to do is set yourself 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 sayin', Todd?)
Get your money, mayne, get yours
It's time to come up, put your dollar bills in the air
They said meet me at the White House and I was there
'Cause I'm one in a million black men risin'
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
From Too $hort, you know I'm the man
I lend my brother a hand 'cause I know I can
I keep goin' and goin' but I'm not the pink bunny
'Stead of beatin' on a drum I never stop makin' money
I'm gettin' all I can, if you don't, you 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 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 I still keep makin' these funky sounds
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
Bonecrusher in the industry, 8.5 must've read it
Got more than Bill Gates
Like white folks hairlines recedin'
Some niggas they believe in
More dangerous than the studio
Bring a mask for fun, so the young slut walks
Have you shiverin' in your socks, I never stop
But every gain will come because of my fame
Lyrical giants, they know our name
That's L.G. to the uh-uh-uh Swain
Leavin' memory stains, whoever dies
$Hort Dog, we gettin' ours, mayne
Niggas I got your mind frames
And if I have that, my pockets stay fat
Black, sometimes I don't understand how I spit these lines
But you know that I know that I'ma gets mine
Respect the SWAT, give it all we got
And never ever stop
We got the Southwest, Adamsville
OutKast, all that shit, we real
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
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
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
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
