Get Right
B.o.B Lyrics

You think this shit happened for me over tha night
You believe that I achieved success overnight

This is my life
This is the reality of my existence

Everybody know I be on tha flight
Everyone is aware that I am constantly on the move

To get it right, and keep it right, and stay strong
To achieve success, maintain it, and remain resilient

Nigga thought it wouldn't happen to 'em, but all of 'em dead wrong
They believed it would never happen to them, but they were all proven wrong

Singin' tha same song, sayin', "Juvie ain't shit!"
Repeating the same criticism, saying that Juvenile is not worth anything

With a project nigga out here tellin' people he rich."
With a person from the project boasting about their wealth

When tha truth is: they wishin' they was in my shoes
In reality, they envy my position and wish they were in my place

I pay dues, with them pistols I made moves
I have worked hard and made progress, sometimes using weapons

And I'm seein' all these pussy-ass niggas tryin' ta be hard
I observe these weak individuals attempting to appear tough

Why ya fuckin' with mines? I ain't fuckin' with y'all
Why are you bothering me? I have no interest in dealing with you

Tha people runnin' your organization workin' for me, uh-huh
The individuals in charge of your group are actually working for me

You didn't know that, now you call for tha plea
You were unaware of this fact, but now you are seeking a plea agreement

Boy, think of all tha places you could possibly be
Consider all the negative outcomes that you could potentially experience

Then, (?) these bullets (?) is comin' for me
Afterwards, these bullets will be aimed at me

With my T-shirt and Rees on
Wearing a T-shirt and Rees sneakers

'cause only God knows what these niggas be's on
Because only God knows what these individuals are up to

Look, niggas better get it right and keep it right
Listen, individuals need to get their act together and maintain it

'cause them Uptown Hot Boy$ on tha street at night
Because the Uptown Hot Boys are active on the streets at night

So I hope you got your soldiers and your 'Bauds on
I hope you have your backup and guns ready

'cause we about ta strap up and know your clothes off
Because we are about to arm ourselves and forcefully remove your possessions

Listen, listen, listen
Pay attention, pay attention, pay attention

Sip it
Drink it

Cock ta act a fool and make 'em dip it (what?)
Prepare to behave foolishly and make them submit (what?)

Chrome MAC diply (what?)
Chrome MAC weapon shining (what?)

Automatic spitty (what?)
Automatic firearm shooting (what?)

I'm a Hot Boy, nigga, follow me
I am a member of the Hot Boys, follow my lead

Do or die, survive with me (huh?)
We must face danger together and survive (huh?)

Blow a pound of that broccoli (huh?)
Smoke a large amount of marijuana (huh?)

Hit a block and ya ride with me (huh?)
Go to a neighborhood and accompany me (huh?)

Cut 'em all, but not your boy, he just had a baby daughter (so?)
Eliminate all of them, except for your friend who recently had a daughter (so?)

Then, Cita, he never walk again (so?)
Then, his friend named Cita became paralyzed and cannot walk anymore (so?)

Don't play with them shots again (oh)
Do not toy with those bullets again (oh)

I make them niggas bleed like that time of tha month
I cause those individuals to bleed, similar to their monthly period

See, I told 'em, "Nobody move; nobody head bust."
As I told them, "Do not move; do not get your head blown off."

Plus, a hundred rush turn a boy ta dust
In addition, a large crowd in a frenzied state can easily overpower and defeat someone

Nigga, I'm a soldier, trust
I am a tough and fearless individual, have faith in me

I'll blow a hole in your guts
I will shoot you and create a hole in your abdomen

And ain't no "if", "and's", or "but's" (uh-uh)
And there are no doubts or uncertainties (uh-uh)

You could get mad and fuss (uh-uh)
You can become angry and argue (uh-uh)

Watch your lip, man, you'll touch (uh-uh)
Be careful what you say, man, you'll get hurt (uh-uh)

I'll pop a clip in, and bust (uh-uh)
I will load and fire a magazine (of bullets) (uh-uh)

Look, I'm straight thuggin'
Look, I am fully immersed in the gangster lifestyle

Lookin' at niggas' fake muggin'
Observing others pretending to be tough

I'm runnin' with niggas that stay sufferin'
I associate with individuals who are constantly in difficult situations

That ain' nothin'
That is nothing to me

It's Weezy Weez
It's Lil' Wayne

I show off behind cheese
I flaunt my wealth and success

Get full of trees
Get high on marijuana

Here I come, you better leave
I am approaching, you better go away

Niggas know I could get ugly when it come to that (To that)
People are aware that I can become violent when it concerns that (To that)

Oh, for sure, I leave ya bloody if ya come for that (For that)
Certainly, I will cause you to bleed if you try to initiate conflict over that (For that)

I ain't no ho, if in beef I ain't gon' run from that (From that)
I am not a coward, I will not run away from conflict (From that)

You got coke, keep it on tha low 'cause I'll come for that (For that)
If you possess cocaine, keep it a secret because I will take it from you forcefully (For that)

I keep pistols in my possession 'cause I stays in shit (What?!)
I carry firearms because I am always involved in dangerous situations (What?!)

I was raised watchin' niggas shoot out with K's and shit (Wha?)
I grew up witnessing individuals engaging in gunfights with automatic weapons (Wha?)

My momma tried ta keep me inside, but I snuck out tha back (Oh)
My mother attempted to prevent me from going outside, but I secretly escaped through the back (Oh)

Shot hookie from school, hung on V.L. and sold a lil' crack (Fo sho')
Skipped school, hung out on the street named V.L., and sold a small amount of crack cocaine (For sure)

Niggas respect me 'cause they know my nuts be hangin'and swingin' (Hangin')
People respect me because they know I am courageous and ready for action (Hangin')

If my toes get stepped on, I'm click-clackin' and bangin' (Bangin')
If someone disrespects me, I will quickly retaliate with gunfire (Bangin')

I've been out here since I was, like, ten years old
I have been involved in this lifestyle since I was around ten years old

Caught my first gun charge in nineteen-nine-four
I was charged with a firearms offense for the first time in 1994

Scuffed my knees up a lot, he pulled me out that
I was frequently involved in dangerous situations, but he protected me from harm

I'm out here now, and ain't no way that I'ma look back
I am currently active in this lifestyle, and there is no chance of me returning to my former life

Fresh laid tha track down, I picked tha pad up for a minute
Mike Fresh created the music and I took over the lyrics briefly

Put tha gat down
Set the gun down

But don't think I still won't act, busta
However, do not assume that I won't act violently, fool
