Gettin' It

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
 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 should be gettin it, gettin money
 I'm talking bout you black, don't laugh it ain't 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 ain't 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 class
 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
 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
 I know you tired of being broke just hanging out
 You gotta lotta 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
 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
 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
