Got lyrics

Artist  : Mos Def 
Song : Got



 Send "Got" Ringtone to your Cell 

  Some cats really like to, you know...
Profile and front.
And then the jooks go down, all at once they
like...

Don't get mad
Don't get mad
Don't g-g-g-g-g-get mad (repeat 3x)

You're out on the block hustling at the spot...
GOT, this is how you get Got...
At the gamblin' spot and your hand is mad hot...
GOT, this is how you get Got...
Out in Brooklyn late night flashing all of your
rocks...
GOT, this is how you get Got...
Some girl from pink house said 'I like you
alot'...
GOT, this is how you get Got...

This one goes to all them Big Will cats
With ice on they limbs and big rims on they Ac
You goin' around town with your system bump
And your windows cracked low to profile and front
Now I like to have nice things just like you
But I'm from Brooklyn, certain sh*t you just
don't do
Like, high postin' when you far from home
Or like, high postin' when you all alone
Now, this would seem to be clear common sense
But, cats be livin' off, sheer confidence
Like 'f**k that, picture them tellin' me run
that'
But acting invincible, just ain't sensible
It's nineteen ninety-now, and there's certain
individuals
Swear they rollin' hard and get robbed on
principle
5 star general, flashin' on your revenue
You takin' a ride on the Downstate medical, Like
(whooooooo)
Colorful sparks, yellow and blue
A fool on attack and it's happening to you
Wit' nothing you can do but bust back and cop a
plea
But five of them and one of you, that equals Got
to me...
 

Don't get mad
Don't get mad
Don't g-g-g-g-g-get mad (repeat 3x)

Come on ya'll now, let's be real
Some jokers got a rough time keepin' it concealed
I wonder what it mean, it's probably self-esteem
They fiending to be seen, get hymned like
Aberdeen
Cats think it can't happen until the gats start
clappin'
They comin' down the wire spittin' fire like a
dragon
'Cause while the goods glisten, certain eyes take
position
To observe your trick, and then catch that as*
slippin'
Like, come on now ock, what you expect?
Got a month's paycheck danglin' off your neck
And while you Cristal sippin', they rubbin' up
they mittens
With heat in mint condition to start the
getti-gettin'
They clique starts creepin' like Sandinistin
guerrillas
You screamin' playa haters, these niggas is playa
killers
Mr. Fash-ion, that style never last long
The harder you flash, the harder you get flashed
on
There's hunger in the street that is hard to
defeat
Many steal for sport, but more steal to eat
Cat's heavy at the weigh-in, and he's playin' for
keeps
Don't sleep, they'll roll up in your passengers
seat
There is universal law, whether rich or poor
Some say life's a game, to more, life is war
So put them egos to the side and get off them
head-trips
'Fore some cats pull out them heaters and make
you head-less...

Don't get mad
Don't get mad
Don't g-g-g-g-g-get mad (repeat 3x)
