Too $hort - Gettin' It ft. Parliament Funkadelic (1996) (Lyric Video)

LYRICS: That's right, album number ten, Short Dawg in the house It's gettin close to the end y'all But we gonna kick it like this on the last album Now let me holler at ya partner, spit this game In your ear for a minute, quit complainin' '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 your 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 should be gettin it, gettin money I'm talking bout you black, don't laugh it ain't funny You should get a good lawyer, like Johnnie Cochran Swear to tell the truth, 'Hell nah 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 ain't 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 bottom A flock a 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 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 Get your money, man Get yours You should be gettin' it I know you tired of bein' broke, just hangin' out You gotta lot a dreams but you can't get out The first thing you need to do is set yourself 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 sayin', 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 men risin' 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 From Too $hort, you know I'm the man I lend my brother a hand 'cause I know I can I keep goin' and goin' but I'm not the pink bunny Instead of beatin' on the drum, I never stop thinking 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 makin' these funky sounds 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 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 gots to kick the facts Follow Too $hort:   / tooshort      / @tooshorttv   Follow Parliament Funkadelic:   / werpfunk   #rap #music #lyricvideo #90srap #hiphop #lyrics #rapforward
