Too Short - Gettin' It lyrics

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

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 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 shoulf be gettin it, gettin money

I'm talking bout you black, don't laugh it aint 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 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 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

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 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

Chorus

(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)
