Get Ready
Mase Feat. Blackstreeet Lyrics

See, the difference with me
I am unique and different from others

When I do what I do
I am focused and committed to my actions

I do what I'm doing
I am intentional and purposeful

But I'm doing it like I'm doing it for TV
I am performing at my best and giving it my all, as if I am on television

Keep ya hands up
Keep your hands raised in the air

What, what, put your hands up
Raise your hands and make some noise

Come on, come on, keep your hands up
Encouraging the audience to continue cheering and keeping their hands up

We back, we back, we back, we back (put your hands up)
The performer is back and wants the audience to show their appreciation by putting their hands up

We back, we back again (keep your hands up)
The performer has returned and is asking the audience to keep their hands up

We back, we back, we back, we back, we back, we back
Emphasizing that the performer is back and ready to give an amazing performance

I remember the days of prayin' my chips be right
Reflecting on a time when the performer was struggling financially

Louie the 13, no more Cris tonight
The performer has moved on from a lower quality of lifestyle to a more luxurious one

Gold to me is like Superman and Kryptonite
The performer values gold very highly, but recognizes that it can be a weakness

So I pray how I don't miss my flight, switch to night
The performer is hoping not to miss his flight and is transitioning to night time

Get out the plane, it look all strange
The surroundings upon arriving at the destination look different than expected

See a man from Spain, holding up my name
The performer sees a man holding a sign with his name on it

Give him my things and head down to bag' claim
The performer hands over his belongings and proceeds to baggage claim

And I hear somebody scream my name
The performer hears someone calling out his name

So I look back, look once, look twice
The performer looks around to see who is calling his name

Look fast, look left, look right
Continuing to search for who is calling his name quickly

Look Blink, look Meeno, look Myse
Naming people he knows to see if they are the one calling his name

They try tell me honey don't look right
Friends warn the performer that a woman may not be trustworthy

So, I approach her, it all look Kosher
The performer approaches the woman, thinking everything is okay

But there was kids runnin' up with posters
Suddenly, children are running up with posters, causing chaos

And I was startin' to lose sight of chauffer
The performer is losing sight of his driver in all the commotion

So I had to say nice to know ya
The performer decides to leave and say goodbye to the woman

We're gonna make this a night to remember
The performer is promising to make this an unforgettable night

It just so happen this how Ma$e stay starred
The performer is explaining how he stays successful

Flip two aces and get two face cards
The performer is referencing his luck and skill in gambling

Chip stackin', I turn around, see a bunch of chicks clappin'
The performer is winning big and attracting the attention of many women

But a girl walked by, caught my eye
The performer is taken by a certain woman passing by

So I said, 'What the fuck, stand here and give me luck'
The performer asks the woman to stay with him for good luck

And she whispered in my ear
The woman whispers something to the performer

A purple one on there and put a pink one on there
The woman is suggesting what the performer should wear

I did just that and gave Hud a stack, shout 'I'll be right back'
The performer follows the woman's suggestion and gives someone money before leaving with her

Let's be real, I know you got bills
The woman is suggesting that the performer give her money

So how 'bout one night and I just gave you a mil'
The woman wants the performer to give her a million dollars for one night together

My whips got satellite, see it in the graphics
The performer's car has a satellite system that is visible on the dashboard display

Knowing that every president need a Lewinsky
The performer is referencing a scandal involving former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky

Girls know I ain't know you but they try to convince me
Women try to convince the performer that they know him personally

You ain't gotta like Ma$e, but bet he blow
The performer is confident in his abilities, even if people don't like him

Stop handcuffin' that girl and let her go
The performer is telling someone to let go of a woman they are holding onto

The show ain't over until the bottles is empty
The party will continue until all the alcohol is gone

Then girls run out the club, follow the Bently
Women will follow the performer's car as they leave the club

We back, we back again
The performer has returned again

Get money all over again
The performer is ready to make money again

The performer's crew, H World, is ready to make money again

All Out get money again
