Gettin' It (feat. Parliament-Funkadelic)

That's right, album number ten

Short Dawg's in the house

It's gettin' close to the end y'all

But we gon' kick it like this on the last album

Now let me holler at ya partner, spit this game

In your ear for a minute, quit complainin'

'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 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 you black, don't laugh, it ain't funny

You should get a good lawyer like Johnnie Cochran

Swear to tell the truth, "Hell nah, 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 Dawg in the house, I know you ain't trippin'

'Cause life is too short, you gotta get in where you fit in

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' dope, don't ya hope he would go to class?

But the boy makes money and he makes it fast

With the twenties on top and the fifties on bottom

A flock a 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, 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 yours

You should be gettin' it

I know you tired of bein' broke, just hangin' out

You gotta lot of dreams, but you can't get out

The first thing you need to do is to 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?

It's time to come up, put your dollars 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 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 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 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, 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

I earned my respect in the street

The ghetto's been good to me

I'm never gonna turn my back

The true and livin', so I gots to kick the facts

I earned my respect in the street

The ghetto's been good to me

I'm never gonna turn my back

The true and livin', so I gots to kick the facts

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
