Get Off
4 Bruthas & A Bass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't got no poise or plans
Hear me out with your hands
It's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
Yeah, nothing major
Ain't got no problem to solve
I'm doing my best to dissolve
Well, it's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
I can't hang out, sister
I can't get off
I been watching it go by
Well, I been gone so long
[Incomprehensible]
Entertain religion of law
Slave morality and the norm
You know it
I'm doing my best to conform
Well, it's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
It's nothing major, sister
I can't get off
But I been watching it go by
Well, I been gone so long
I want to hear the new word now, now, now
I been watching it
I been watching it go by
I been gone so long
I want to hear the new word now, now
I can't get off
