Get It Myself
D.R.A.M. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I turn on the tubewhat do i see,
A whole lot a people cryin' "don't blame me"
They point their crooked little fingers at everybody else
Spend all their time felin' sorry for them selves
Victim of this, victim of that
Your mommas too thin; and your daddys too fat
Get over it
Get over it
All this whinin' and cryin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it
Get over it
You say ya haven't been the same since ya had your little crash
But you might feel better if they gave you some cash
The more i think about it, ol' billy was right
Let's kill all the lawers- kill 'em tonight
You don't wanna work you wanna live like a king
Butt the big bad world doesn't owe you a thing
Get over it
Get over it
Ya don't want to play then you might as well split
Get over it, get over it
It's like going to confession every time i hear you speak
Your makin' the most of your losin' streak
Some call it sick, but i call it weak
Yeah you drag it around like a ball an' chain
You wallow in the guilt; you wallow in the pain
You wave it like a flag, you wear it like a crown
Got your mind in the gutter, bringin' everybody down
Ya bitch about the present and blame it on the past
I'd like to find your little child an' kick it's little ass
Get over it
Get over it
All this bitchin' and moanin' and pitchin' a fit
Get over it, get over it
Get over it
Get over it




It's gotta stop some time so why don't you quit
Get over it,get over it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to D.R.A.M.'s song Get It Myself are actually not what they seem at first glance. They are not just a bunch of random words put together to sound cool or catchy; rather, they are part of a sample from Run-DMC's "Can I Get It, Yo." The lyrics hint at the struggles and challenges of making it in the music industry, as well as the pride that comes with success. The use of the sample also serves to connect D.R.A.M. to the legacy of hip-hop and to introduce a new generation to the genre's history and roots.


The first verse is actually a sample from Run-DMC's "Can I Get It, Yo," and it is used to build hype and energy for the rest of the song. The verse sets the tone for what is to come, with references to DJ Run, Joe, and various other hip-hop icons. The part about "beefin' through your teeth" is a nod to the inherent competitiveness of the genre, and the lines about being a pro serve to assert D.R.A.M.'s credibility as a rapper.


The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Can I get it?" serves as a catchy hook that draws the listener in, and it also reinforces the themes of perseverance and ambition that run throughout the song. The verses that follow each contain their own unique storylines and references, ranging from DMC's comeback after a hiatus to Jam Master Jay's emphasis on being a "real street nigga." Ultimately, the song serves as a tribute to the legends of hip-hop while also showcasing D.R.A.M.'s fresh and contemporary take on the genre.
