Go Out And Get It
De La Soul Lyrics

All hail to the check one-two
Acknowledging the importance of concrete actions to achieve success

You can catch one-two at a theatre near
Success is attainable, but requires effort and perseverance

Where you'll find me supportin rap, like a brassiere
Supporting others is important in achieving success

Not sayin if the game is tits, but you gotta admit
Realizing that rap can be challenging, but worth the effort

That the soul be the, holder of the mic device
Recognizing that artistic expression is critical to success

Rhymes filled with blood and guts, the game filled with
Accepting the challenges and risks associated with achieving success in rap

Bolts and nuts, but them shits rusty
Acknowledging that working in rap may involve outdated or unhelpful elements

And the trusty MC got the W-4
Success requires proficiency in one's craft

You can find me up in the W. Moore
Success requires consistent effort and networking

I'm back on the juice with them heavy-o Chevy rhymes
Returning to one's strengths to achieve success

Missin like crime on the deuce
Acknowledging past mistakes or missed opportunities

We don't sit in boats and fish, we sit in studios
Success requires dedication and hard work

And quote words to serve on a dish
Artistic expression is a powerful tool for success

And the nerve that you wish you had I got bags of
Confidence and determination are key to achieving success

And tracks are drugs that only make it worse when you're high
Success can create its own challenges and pressures

Listenin to the Why on the first verse named Wonder
Paying attention to the creativity and passion of others is important in achieving success

So don't underestimate, what we create
Believing in one's own abilities is necessary to achieve success

And you'll never find us pullin up to clubs
Success is not defined by superficial displays of wealth or status

In them long stretch whales
Acknowledging that superficial displays of wealth are not necessary or meaningful for success

Or pushin inside girls with Donkey Kong stretch tails
Success is not defined by objectifying or exploiting others

And when all else fails, we hit 'em with the charm
Success often requires perseverance, creativity, and adaptability

That reflects like muscles on the arm
Success can be visible, but also requires strength and resilience

And even if crowded like food courts
Success can involve challenges, including competition and crowded markets

We own home court advantage so we never feel alarmed
Believing in oneself and one's strengths is critical in achieving success

It's eighty-six y'all, put your rap on pause
Realizing that challenges and setbacks are inevitable in achieving success

More milk on the mic than them pregnant broads
Artistic expression is often a metaphor for success, and requires dedication and effort

Nine times out the dime it's a penny on the floor
Often, success requires recognizing hidden opportunities

Same penny you walk around and ignore
Success requires recognizing the value of opportunities that might be overlooked by others

See I'm the penny that'll have the deal closed
Believing in oneself and one's abilities is key to achieving success

Turn that point nine nine into one point oh's
Achieving success requires seizing opportunities and making the most of them

A millisecond you'll be needin in the race
In the competitive world of rap, success often requires speed and agility

That photo finish I ain't even see your face
Success may involve competing with individuals whose identities or values are unknown

I'm that one degree that made the Pisa lean
One's unique talents or qualities can be key to achieving success

The one goal, one job, one aim and one team
Focusing on one's goals and purpose is key to achieving success

That one good push that gave birth to your dream
Success often requires a decisive or powerful moment of motivation, inspiration, or action

That one good year, that one good beer
Success requires celebrating life's small victories and pleasures

See you can hit the lotto with hope and a buck
Success requires taking risks or chances, but also recognizing the role of luck or chance

But with 99 cents yo' ass is outta luck
Success often requires investing in one's own abilities or vision

Once upon a time, it's not once it ain't happen
Success is never guaranteed, and often requires patience, persistence, and resilience

One pop in the air does not mean you clappin
One moment of success does not define or guarantee future success

One rap hit does not mean you be rappin
Success requires consistency and dedication over time

Although you bust rhymes, you ain't kill it ONE TIME~!
True success requires sustained excellence, not just one moment of inspiration or creativity

Never was to be in the first, just the second one
Success does not require being first, but rather being determined, focused, and consistent

If you don't find me with mic, I'm mic checkin one
Believing in oneself and one's talents is important in achieving success

One good pinch, and one good hunch
Success often requires seizing opportunities or trusting one's instincts

That's just one bad apple out the New York bunch
Success can be hindered by negative or unhelpful elements in one's environment

Got ones, but I want 2's 3's and 4's
Success is not defined by superficial markers of wealth or status

I'm that one when you got one more
Success requires believing in one's potential and the value of sustained effort
