Get It Get It
Cam'ron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been had to get for get, lived in the sickest pad
Slept with mice and roaches, woke up pissed up slab
School of the hard knocks, I on the vicious Ave
Jim chase Mark Chan, we beat a bitches ass

Ask me who you loving, Cam you been bugging
Must have lost your mind; you fought Lucien's cousin
And St. Mark's, yeah big LE watch
My nigga red squashed it, forget that topic

40th, down the block danger zone
Up the ave forty wall, hope y'all niggas bring you chrome
What you saying homes, cops they raiding homes
Activator juice, yes to spray your dome

from a tiny dude, developed grimey dude
Stuck delivery, took all his Chinese food
I'm so good but bad, I'm so kind but rude
Americas most wanted, should have signed a Q

Plus its savage, cop car crash your door
Further more heard the boy em at the sack amore
Boy yes, over seas more sex
Four jets, corvettes, and I ain't done a tour yet

'Cause I'm moving bricks, yes they serve in fours
Signing off dipset boss, truly yours

[Chorus]
We gon make it make it, we gon make it y'all
We gon make it make it, we gon take it y'all
We gon get it get it, money we gon get it get it
We gon get it get it, money we gon get it get it

We gon make it make it, we gon make it y'all
We gon make it make it, we gon take it y'all
We gon get it get it, we gon get it get it
We gon get it get it, we gon get it get it

My cerebral stress, eagle let it rest
Feel it in the air yeah, siegel said it best
It's a legal mess, needles need to death
Blame the government, until then I need to chef

Turn right, lead left, street games scrams
Call the cops oc, like we need a ref
You can't cheat a chef, I can see your chest
No heart, cherish your oxygen, breath your breaths

He need a rest, how he gon be the best
Like I guess a couple slugs he need to catch
See the sketch, you lassie
The gun is Frisbee proceed to fetch

Side up the hoopty, spray up the sentra
It be sixty years before I'm laid up in benter
Sprayed up her denture, your girl
Then I laid her placenta, blew hazed in her rental

Some days in December, some days I remember
A boy sugar ray want to play the contender
Just say I got a temper
And my temperature is off the thermometer

Korean New Year to Hanukah I'm bombing ya
Put you to sleep for good pajama ya
Wrangle you in ya he man pajama's
Wrap you up in your pac man sheets





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Let's Get It On" by Cam'ron feat Juelz Santana talk about their upbringing and experiences in the streets. The first verse, Cam'ron reminisces about how he had to hustle to survive in the dangerous New York City neighborhoods, living in less than desirable conditions, and going to a school where he had to learn how to protect himself. He also mentions an incident where he and his friends chased and beat up a boy who disrespected them.


In the second verse, Juelz Santana talks about the struggles of living in the streets and the illegal activities he's engaged in to make money. He also criticizes the government for neglecting their responsibilities, causing the poor to resort to crime. He ends the verse with a graphic metaphor of wrapping someone up in their own sheets.


Overall, the song is a gritty portrayal of the street life in New York City and the harsh realities that come with it. It's a reflection of the struggles and survival stories of two young men trying to make it in a tough environment.
