Let's Get It On
2 Pac & Notorious B.I.G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Yea this is uh Super funk you know what I'm sayin
This is for all the players and playetts wherever you at you dig
I'm talkin about from this side to that side
East side, West side, your side, my side
It's all about being funky man
Aiyyo give me that microphone
It's Heavy D the baritone and I'm home alone dig it
where the dogs bark and the dreadlock be sparkin spliff
Okay okay okay okay it's Heavy D again
Hallelujah I'm on your T.V. screen again
You see me on your MTV and on your BET
and on your local focal point video show
Nigga this how it flow so fly like an eagle
No sequels no weed but I get love from all the thugs
cause they still my people
I'm dynamic punks panic when they see me
They get all shook up when my mic's hooked up
Let's get it on!
[chorus]x2
Untouchables at your door
(Let's get it on)
All you wack rappers hit the floor
[2pac]
How should I plead forever thuggin on a quest to get G's
Runnin from enemies ever since the days of a seed
I'm under pressure the stress will have me drinkin
thinkin niggaz after me much too paranoid to blink
Wonder why the police don't want to see me stackin G's
They after a playa but I won't let em capture me
I gotta thank the lord for the weed and the nicotine
I can't sleep close my eyes I see wicked deams (deamons)
I keep my pistol by my bedside one in the chamber
Preoccupied with homocide my life's in danger
Rollin down the four-five beware of stangers
Hand on my 4-5 that's what the fame does
I'm probably wrong but I'll never know it till I'm gone
From out the ghetto where the jealous motherfuckers roam
Pass the weed let that Hennessey get to me
before the penitentiary
Let's get it on!!
[chorus]x2
Untouchables at your door
(Let's get it on)
All you wack rappers hit the floor
[Grand Puba]
I thought you knew I stay true to this rhyme thing I do
I have all the honeys saying, "Go Pu'!"
I flip a style from the projects building 70 apartment 6C
I turn food stamps to green stamps rough power amps
and sold weed under corner lamps but now I'm just microphone talkin
So when you see my ass have my cash or just keep walking
Niggaz got more game than Genesis
Seen a movie in L.A. now everybody want to see
but them youth don't trouble we
because they fall victim to what they see hey!
I keeps it +Reel to Reel+ like my last album title song
but I understand it takes a year for niggaz to catch on
(hit em in the head dog) So let's get it on! yea
[Notorious B.I.G.]
Split the dutches fill it with the skunk we about to
get wicked in the joint uh Notorious is glorious
*cough, cough)*
Niggaz now who's the mind blower, the weed grower
Have you seeing doubles like Noah, the rhyme flower
B.I.G. top notch with the glock check your pockets
and your sock it's just the way my pops taught me
When you throw the drop check em thoroughly
The bastard might spin around and try to bury me
And dead niggaz don't make no moves
When I'm slingin in the hood I don't fake no moves aight
Reminiscin on my swingin days
when I drove a Caddy and my bitch sported finger waves
Yea she had the Gucci boots I had Sarducci suits
Oshkosh-begosh Coca-Cola lookin real cute
Junior M.A.F.I.A. representin Bucktown
Mac-11 cocked back niggaz better duck down
Face down you know the routine the cream
Earrings you know the drama Biggie bring
Let's get it on
The song "Let's Get It On" by 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G starts with Heavy D introducing the song as being all about being funky and for all the players and playetts. He relates his usual cool and style growing up in an environment where there is dog barking and dreads, sparking spliffs. Heavy D is proud of his hits playing on TV channels such as MTV, BET, and local video shows, and how he shines brighter than an eagle. He mentions how he appreciates the love he gets from his thugs supporters. He then invites all the wack rappers to hit the floor and let the untouchables take charge.
2Pac chimes in with verse two, a reflection of his life as a thug on a quest to get G's while running from enemies since he was young. He is paranoid, vulnerable, and feels that the police are after him. Tupac acknowledges the importance of marijuana and nicotine in helping him relax whenever he cannot sleep, and how he always keeps a gun by his bedside. Tupac vividly paints a picture of walking down 45th Street always wary of strangers, keeping his hand on the 4-5 ready to fire if necessary.
Grand Puba continues with verse three, exhibiting his rapping skill and true to the game. He talks about his humble beginnings in an apartment with frequent power outages before turning his life around by selling and producing music. Despite now being a microphone talker, he illustrates how he always carries cash and keeps it real to reel like his previous album. Notorious B.I.G makes the last verse all about weed, the mind blower and weed grower, and highlights his awareness of the importance of being mindful of people's pockets.

Pac bars are poetry. Running from my enemies since the days of a seed. Think about that. He's talking about all the sperm racing for life.
