  • Man I'm gonna do my thang, get up!
    It's crazy in the club when I'm in there man, get up!
    Trust me homie I'm not playin', get up!
    Now get on the dance floor off the chain
    I say get up!

    I came to bring you that California love
    And a lil' New York hatin' it's all of the above
    I'm not playin' I'm sayin' I'm off the chain
    You niggas better follow the instructions
    I said get up!

    I ball till I fall
    I stunt till I drop
    I'm off the show room floor
    Not the used car lot
    You buy a bottle
    I buy the bar
    I make every other week feel like Mardi Gras

    When I get in to it
    I get in to it
    Everybody can't do it the way I do it
    I make it rain, rain
    Till the sun come out
    A nigga playin', playin'
    We make the guns come out

    Now, my question is
    Who they gonna blame
    When I'm back number one on the Billboard again
    Shit, shift now the game done change
    Since Mike made Thriller and Prince made Purple Rain

    I guess I make the kids wanna slang
    And NWA made the West Coast bang
    Nah it's just music, man it's just music
    Now get your ass on the dance floor and move it

    I have the savoir faire
    I'm the reason everybody here
    I say get up!
    I make it hot, I make it hot in here
    Your feet hurtin' I really care
    I said get up!

    I want to see you, I want to see you move
    And get all into the groove
    I said get up!
    I'm getting money man I really don't care
    Let me see you put your hands up in the air
    I said get up!

    Girl, you look good
    I want to get to know you better
    You look good in them jeans
    And them red stilettos
    You got a Bentley
    Coupe booty baby
    I want to drive
    See I tell you what mileage is
    When I'm inside

    I'ma take you for a spin
    You know round and round
    Switch gears till your love come down
    I take you to the point of no return
    If you listen you learn
    Just how a nigga earn
    I got money to burn

    While the Gap Band play
    She dropped the bomb on me
    It's up and down
    And up and down
    Gracefully
    Rick James would have said she a brick house
    Or Fifty you should go home to see
    What that bitch bout

    I found out she like it how I like it, huh
    Back it up' get cha some
    I know how to get you sprung
    Tune you up' use your tongue
    Under the hood it's so good
    She said it's so good
    Goddamn I'm so hood
    Nigga wattup?

    I have the savoir faire
    I'm the reason everybody here
    I say get up!
    I make it hot, I make it hot in here
    Your feet hurtin' I really care
    I said get up!

    I want to see you, I want to see you move
    And get all into the groove
    I said get up!
    I'm getting money man I really don't care
    Let me see you put your hands in the air
    I said get up!

    And get into it
    You are now rocking with the Unit
    I said get up!
    And get into it
    We gonna show you just how we do it
    I said get up!

    Aftermath, still shady Aftermath
    I said get up!
    Aftermath, still shady Aftermath
