| Everybody snap your fingers like this, every single soul, c’mon… |
| Aww, what’s going on right about here is center staggge |
| It’s about a brotha… it’s what a brotha does when he’s gettin' ready for a |
| date, ha ha, yeah |
| My mom likes to call it «The Gettin'» |
| She calls it «The Gettin'» because the brotha’s gettin' SLICK |
| Gettin' ready, gettin' snazzy |
| Gettin' prepared for a dinner, and gettin' prepared for an even mo' betta |
| dessert |
| You understand what I’m talking about? |
| I think this sista and brotha know what I’m talking about, check this out |
| (Singers sing in background) |
| Gettin' jazzy, Gettin' snazzy |
| But you probally ain’t gettin' it on |
| (Speech overlaps while singers sing) |
| Aw yeah, Brotha Man, Brotha Man, Brotha Man thinks he’s gonna knock boots |
| tonight |
| You know what I’m talkin' about? |
| I think Brotha Man think he’s gonna do «The Nasty» tonight, alright? |
| I think Brotha Man is gonna umm… hit the skins tonight, if you know what I’m |
| talking about |
| «I said, yo baby, yo baby, yo baby, YO! |
| UH!» |

| Ah, but the sistas ain’t down with that type of stuff no mo', you see? |
| They decided, «Yo! |
| We ain’t gotta have materialism type of stuff |
| We want somethin' mo' than that» AM I RIGHT SISTAS? |

| Ahh yeah! |
| So you know um… Brotha Man is wearing the most expensive clothes |
| and those expensive watch and the most expensive Calvin Klein jeans and all |
| those type of thang |
| But the sistas don’t give a dang because a sista’s got her own thang goin' on |
| She wants a real man, know what I’m talkin' about, yeah! |
| Well, I tried to tell the brotha |
| I said, «Brotha Man, sistas don’t want that type of thang in the Black |
| community anymore |
| We lookin' for somethin' a little bit deeper. |
| (Speech joins singers) |
| Gettin' jazzy, Gettin' snazzy |
| But you probally ain’t gettin' it on |
| (cheers) |
| And all the brotha had to really do was to be upset… |
