Get Used To It
Ice Cube feat. WC & The Game Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull a four on the fifty
Fuck yo monkey ass up like Bobby did Whitney
Trigger fingers get itchy
When niggaz get bitchy
And they need they story told on Jerry or Ricki
Well you're green and you're iffy
I'm clean and I'm spiffy
All my niggaz that's wit me
All my bitches are picky
To ride around that's right on time
Bitch you know it's tricky
Take a hit of the sticky
Everybody get tipsy
When we hittin' that whiskey
All my niggaz get pissy
Don't fuck wit no sissy
All we bumpin' is missy
If you know where I am motherfucker come get me
I'm a man out of mickey
All my niggaz love hickies
That don't go away til ya well in your sixties
All I'm wearin' is dickies
Don't try to evict me
When we come to Atlanta we gon' re-open Nickies
I'm a gangsta rap teacher, nigga you better know it
It's the Don Gotti Jr. slash motherfuckin' poet
Sit back and take notes while I spin like hundred spokes
My flow is razor sharp I'm comin' straight for ya throat
With that west coast gang bang
Watch him when his chain hang
East coast down south
Niggaz do the same thang
Throw up ya dubs like Wu-Tang who bang
Harder than that nigga barrelin' thru ya hood wit two chains
Swangin' like he's nuts, 'cuz he don't give a fuck
I know nigga that ain't bangin' in no khaki's or some chucks
It's that westside, connected with that nigga who flow so wreckless
He spent a hundred thousand on his necklace, I bet this
Motherfuckin' coast ain't got shit after me
Ain't have shit before Cube except a Dub C
The mack circle is back with mad purple in fact
I'm 'bout to join the Lynch mob that's me squirtin' the mack
In this verse, the three rappers boast about their gangster lifestyle and warn others not to mess with them. The opening line states that if someone wants to approach them, they better come prepared with a gun because they are not afraid to defend themselves. The references to Bobby and Whitney imply that if someone crosses them, they will end up like the troubled superstar couple. The rappers then talk about how they are good storytellers and will expose anyone who tries to cross them on national television shows such as Jerry Springer or Ricki Lake. They describe their posse, which consists of picky women and tough men who are not afraid to fight. The verse ends with a threat to any who dare cross them, stating that they will never see it coming.
The second verse is rapped by The Game, who identifies himself as a gangsta rap teacher and poet. He claims to have a razor-sharp flow that is coming straight for the listener’s neck. He then goes on to say that the West Coast gangster music is just as powerful as the East Coast and Southern rap music. He refers to the Wu-Tang Clan's hand gesture and name-checks the famous hip-hop group. He says that he knows some people who pretend to be gangsters and wear gangster clothes but are not real gangsters. The verse ends with The Game stating that the West Coast is superior to all other coasts, and he is the best of them all.

It's the Don Gotti Jr. slash motherfuckin' poet
I'm Don Gotti Jr., also known as a badass poet
Sit back and take notes while I spin like hundred spokes
Listen and learn while I rap quickly
My flow is razor sharp I'm comin' straight for ya throat
My rap style is aggressive and intense
With that west coast gang bang
With that west coast style of gangster rap
Watch him when his chain hang
Watch him when his chain is hanging
East coast down south
Areas known for their hip-hop styles
Niggaz do the same thang
People in all these areas do the same thing (rap)
Throw up ya dubs like Wu-Tang who bang
Throw up your 'W' hand signal like Wu-Tang Clan
Harder than that nigga barrelin' thru ya hood wit two chains
Stronger than the guy driving through your neighborhood with two chains on
Swangin' like he's nuts, 'cuz he don't give a fuck
Swerving like he's crazy because he doesn't care
I know nigga that ain't bangin' in no khaki's or some chucks
I know a guy who doesn't dress like a gangster but still is one
It's that westside, connected with that nigga who flow so wreckless
It's the west coast style of rap, combined with someone who raps recklessly
He spent a hundred thousand on his necklace, I bet this
He spent a lot of money on his chain, I guarantee
Motherfuckin' coast ain't got shit after me
The coast (west coast) doesn't have anything better than me
Ain't have shit before Cube except a Dub C
They didn't have anything before Ice Cube except for WC (a rapper)
The mack circle is back with mad purple in fact
The group of pimps and players is back and they have a lot of purple (wealth)
I'm 'bout to join the Lynch mob that's me squirtin' the mack
I'm about to join the Lynch mob, which means I'll be spraying money around (showing off)
