| Its gettin close to the end yall
|
| 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 cant spend it cause you aint got it You got what it takes but not enough to get started
|
| I hope you get the message, no its not a test its
|
| Just me ridin legit, they cant arrest me or bust me Im 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 dont 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
|
| Im talking bout you black, dont laugh it aint funny
|
| You should get a good lawyer, like johnny cochran
|
| Swear to tell the truth, hell no I didnt 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 aint what you think you got to read between the lines
|
| Cause life aint long, for a young black man
|
| Tryin to make money doing all he can
|
| Sellin dope dont 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 Its 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 cant 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?)
|
| Its time to come up, put your dollar bills in the air
|
| He said meet me at the white house and I was there
|
| Cause Im 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 its all good
|
| And you should do the same I told you peep the game
|
| Too $hort, you know Im the man
|
| I lend my brother a hand cause I know I can
|
| I keep going and goin but Im not the pink bunny
|
| Im not beatin on a drum I never stop thinkin money
|
| Im gettin all I can if you dont ya slip
|
| I cant wait to get to heaven just to have a grip
|
| When I was broke, I couldnt afford a meal
|
| But now Im now rich I cant be fake I gots to keep it real
|
| Its been a long time baby since I first got down
|
| But it still keep making these funky sounds
|
| (I earned my respect in the street
|
| The ghettos been good to me Im never going to turn my back
|
| The true and living so I got to kick the facts) |
