Mos Def - Got(1999)

[00:00.84] Some cats really like to, you know...
[00:03.56] Profile and front
[00:06.22] And then the jooks go down, all at once they like...
[00:10.12] Don't get me
[00:11.23] Don't get me
[00:12.51] Don't g-g-g-g-g-get me
[00:15.17] Don't get me

[00:26.84] Don't get me
[00:28.29] Don't g-g-g-g-g-get me
[00:31.07] You're out on the block hustling at the spot
[00:33.58] Got, this is how you get got
[00:35.98] At the gamblin' spot and your hand is mad hot
[00:38.50] Got, this is how you get Got
[00:41.23] Out in Brooklyn late night flashing all of your rocks
[00:44.17] Got, this is how you get got
[00:46.46] Some girl from pink house said, "I like you a lot"
[00:49.36] Got, this is how you get got
[00:51.91] This one goes to all them Big Will cats
[00:54.34] With ice on they limbs and big rims on they Ac
[00:56.72] You rollin' around town with your system bump
[00:59.27] And your windows cracked low to profile and front
[01:02.21] Now I like to have nice things just like you
[01:04.55] But I'm from Brooklyn, certain shit you just don't do
[01:07.18] Like, high postin' when you far from home
[01:09.63] Or like, high postin' when you all alone
[01:12.19] Now, this would seem to be clear common sense
[01:15.05] But cats be livin' off sheer confidence
[01:17.56] Like, "Fuck that, picture them tellin' me run that"
[01:20.21] But acting invincible, just ain't sensible
[01:22.88] It's nineteen ninety-now, and there's certain individuals
[01:25.57] Swear they rollin' hard and get robbed on principle
[01:28.49] 5 star general, flashin' on your revenue
[01:30.31] Be takin' a ride on the Downstate medical, like (whoo)
[01:34.00] Colourful sparks, yellow and blue
[01:35.82] A full on attack and it's happening to you
[01:38.49] Wit' nothing you can do but bust back and cop a plea
[01:40.96] But five of them and one of you, that equals got to me
[01:43.52] Don't get me

[02:04.72] Come on ya'll now, let's be real
[02:06.83] Some jokers got a rough time keepin' it concealed
[02:09.61] I wonder what it mean, it's probably self-esteem
[02:12.04] They fiendin' to be seen, get hemmed like Gaberdeens
[02:14.78] Cats think it can't happen until the gats start clappin'
[02:17.20] They comin' down the wire spittin' fire like a dragon
[02:20.08] 'Cause while the goods glisten, certain eyes take position
[02:22.58] To observe your trick, and then catch that ass slippin'
[02:24.85] Like, come on now ock, what you expect?
[02:27.54] Got a month's pay cheque danglin' off your neck
[02:30.09] And while you Cristal sippin', they rubbin' up they mittens
[02:32.84] With heat in mint condition to start the getti-gettin'
[02:35.31] They click starts creepin' like Sandinistin guerrillas
[02:38.19] You screamin' playa haters, these niggas is playa killers
[02:40.55] Mr. Fash-ion, that style never last long
[02:43.22] The harder you flash, harder you get flashed on
[02:45.82] There's hunger in the street that is hard to defeat
[02:48.44] Many steal for sport, but more steal to eat
[02:50.98] Cat's heavy at the weigh-in, and he's playin' for keeps
[02:53.54] Don't sleep, they'll roll up in your passenger seat
[02:55.98] There is universal law, whether rich or poor
[02:58.74] Some say life's a game, to more, life is war
[03:01.14] So put them egos to the side and get off them head-trips
[03:03.89] 'Fore some cats pull out them heaters and make you head-less
