[Snoop Dogg]
Hell Yeah ya better get ready

And I mean from player to player
It's only right if I gots to pass the throne

He's bonafide, Qualified, and the ladies would definitely testify
Matter fact G

Toss the box of blunts
Let me roll the upper lip

And I thought you knew

[Chorus]

Niggas get ready it's time to explore

And you graduating with honors nephew
And that's from the top dollar with honors and scholars
Ginuwine a little something for the ladies
And the players too
You got to do it




Preach

Overall Meaning

The song "Get Ready" by Ginuwine, Rook, and Snoop Dogg talks about being ready to explore the real world, and how many people think they know the artists, but they really have no clue. Ginuwine starts the song with the lines "You think you know but you have no clue, no idea, you don't know G, I mean you really really don't know G," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The chorus of the song urges people to get ready and explore the world of the real one, which implies that the artists are going to show their real sides to the audience.


Snoop Dogg's verse praises Ginuwine and how official he is, and how it's time for him to pass the throne to Ginuwine, who is bonafide, qualified, and beloved by women. All the artists then agree that they're going to show their true sides to the audience, and the song encourages people to be ready for what's coming. The lyrics are filled with hip-hop slang and are aimed at a younger audience that is more familiar with the genre.

Always been a fan of Reese G aka The Rook who is the lead singer of rnb group 3 piece one of my fav groups from back in the days….he killed the vocals on here….I can’t find any of his solo music under The Rook but when he was in 3 piece he went by Reese G….anyways wanna hear more check out the group and my fav songs that he killed are Sprung You…Oooh Ahh the original and remix…Picture your body which he doesn’t sing the lead but great song…this dude is a beast for real 💯

@willjamesjr

I'm not sure if that's accurate. The Rook is also known as Harvey Hester. He's a singer and songwriter who also co-wrote "In Those Jeans"
