Artist  : Too Short 
Song : Gettin` It



 Send "Gettin` It" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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 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
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)
