rate me

Song by Outkast feat. Cee-Lo<br /><br>

chorus:<br>

Nigga, you need to git up, git out and git somethin<br>

Don't let the days of your life pass by<br>

You need to git up, git out and git somethin<br>

Don't spend all your time tryin to get high<br>

You need git up, git out and git somethin<br>

How will you make it if you never even try<br>

You need to git up, git out and git somethin<br>

Cuz you and I got to do for you and I<br>

<br>

[Cee-Lo]<br>

I don't recall, ever graduatin at all<br>

Sometimes I feel I'm just a disappointment to y'all<br>

Every day, I just lay around then I can't be found<br>

Always asked to give me some livin life like a bum<br>

Times is rough, my auntie got enough problems of her own<br>

Nigga, you supposed to be grown<br>

I agree, I try to be the man I'm 'posed to be<br>

But negativity is all you seem to ever see<br>

I admit, I've done some dumb shit<br>

And I'm probably gon do some mo'<br>

You shouldn't hold that against me though (Why not?)<br>

Why not? My music's all that I got<br>

But some time must be ingested for this to be manifested<br>

I know you know but I'm gon say this to you I...<br>

Get high but I don't get too high<br>

So what's the limit 'posed to be?<br>

That must be why you can't get your ass up out the bed before three<br>

You need to git up, git out, cut that bullshit out<br>

Ain't you sick and tired of having to do without<br>

And what up with all these questions?<br>

As act as though you know somethin I don't. Do you have any suggestions?<br>

Cuz every job I get is cruel and demeanin<br>

Sick of takin trash out and toilet bowl cleanin<br>

But I'm also sick and tired of strugglin<br>

I never ever thought I'd have resort to drug smugglin<br>

Naw, that ain't what I'm about<br>

Cee-lo will just continue travelin this route<br>

Without any doubt or fear<br>

I know the Lord ain't brought me this far so he could drop me off here<br>

Did I make myself clear?<br>

<br>

chorus:<br>

<br>

[Big Boi]<br>

Well, uh, git up, stand up. So what's said, you dickhead<br>

See when I was a youngsta, used to wear them fuckin Pro Keds<br>

My mama made me do it, but the devil, he made me smart<br>

Told me to jack them weak ass niggaz for they fuckin Starters<br>

In the middle school, I was a bigger fool<br>

I wore with tank tops to show off my tattoo, thought I was cool<br>

I used to hang out with my daddy's brothers, I call them my uncles<br>

They taught me how to smoke herb, I followed them when they ran numbers<br>

So in a sense I was Rosemary's baby<br>

And then, I learned the difference between a bitch and a lady<br>

Hell, I treat 'em all like hoes, see I pimped 'em<br>

Bitch never had my money, so I never whipped 'em<br>

See all the playas came and all the playas went<br>

A playa ain't a gangsta but a playa can handle his shit bitch<br>

You need to git up, git out, git somethin<br>

Smoke out, cuz it's all about money, money, money<br>

Yeah I said it, a nigga sportin plats and a Braves hat<br>

I hang with Rico Wade cuz the Dungeon is where the funk's at, boy<br>

I'm true to Organized, cuz they raised me<br>

I'm also down with LaFace cuz L.A. Reid, yeah, he pays me<br>

And it's cool<br>

Yeah, it's real cool, gettin paid fat pockets<br>

and all that other fat shit like that, ha-ha<br>

<br>

chorus:<br>

<br>

[Big Gipp]<br>

Alot of people in my past tried to do me, screw me<br>

Throw me over in the fire, let me get chunky and charred<br>

Like a piece of wood and dem spirits got the mutant's mind<br>

I'm gettin paranoid and steady lookin for the time<br>

It's eight in the mornin and ain't nobody up yet<br>

I got my long johns, get my coat and throw on my ball cap<br>

I'm headed out the door, to get off in my ride<br>

I'm diggin through the ash tray, hopin to have a good day<br>

I had Jamaica's best and when I light it up, I hear a voice in my head<br>

(You got to git up, git out and git somethin)<br>

Now I know it's on, my day is finally started<br>

Back up in my crib, eat my shit, break out quick, in my slick<br>

'84 Se-dan DeVille, steady bouncin, <br>

out the Pointe to Cambelton Road<br>

The valley of the Southside flow<br>

Everybody know about that killa that we call blow, so<br>

Keep your eyes peeled for the 'cover unit<br>

Cause they known for jumpin out of black Chevy trucks and through the fog<br>

Here come the Red Dogs, I'm bustin out around the corner in my hog<br>

Dippin from the area, I'm scared<br>

So one of these bitches might wind up dead<br>

Cuz I have no time for bail. Fuck Clampett cops. Fuck Elgin Bail<br>

And crooked ass Jackson, got the whole country<br>

Thinkin that my city is the big lick for 96<br>

94, Big Gipp, Goodie Mo, Outkast, a vision from the past<br>

Hootie Hoo...my white owls are burnin kinda slow<br>

<br>

chorus:<br>

<br>

[Dre]<br>

Y'all tellin me that I need to get out and vote, huh. Why?<br>

Ain't nobody black runnin but crackers, so, why I got to register?<br>

I thinkin of better shit to do with my time<br>

Never smelled aroma of diploma, but I write the deep ass rhymes<br>

So let me take ya way, back to when a nigga stayed in Southwest Atlanta,<br>

Y'all could not tell me nuthin, thought I hit that bottom rock<br>

At age 13, start workin at the loadin dock<br>

They layin my mama off of work, General Motors trippin<br>

But I come home Bank like Hank, from lickin and dippin<br>

Doin dumb shit, not knowin what a nigga know now<br>

Yeah, that petty shit will have you cased up and locked down<br>

I dips, over to East Point, still actin a fool<br>

Wastin my time in the school, I'd rather be shootin pool<br>

Cool is how I played the tenth grade<br>

I thought it was all about mackin hoes and wearin pimp fade<br>

Instead of bein in class, I'd rather be up in some ass<br>

Not, thinkin about them six courses that I need to pass<br>

Graduation rolled around like rolly-pollies<br>

Damn, that's fucked up. I shoulda listened when my mama told me<br>

That, if you play now, you gonna suffer later<br>

Figured she was talkin yin-yang, so I payed her no attention<br>

And kept missin the point she tried to poke me with<br>

The doper that I get, the more I'm feelin broke and shit<br>

Huh, but that don't matter though, I am an O-UT-KAST<br>

So get up off your ass<br>

<br>

chorus:<br>

You need to...(4X)<br>
