Get Ready
Mase feat. Blackstreet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I do what I do
I do what I'm doing
But I'm doing it like I'm doing it for TV
Oww, oww, oww, oww, oww
Keep ya hands up
What, what, put your hands up
We back, we back, we back, we back (put your hands up)
We back, we back again (keep your hands up)
We back, we back, we back, we back, we back, we back
I remember the days of prayin' my chips be right
Louie the 13, no more Cris tonight
Gold to me is like Superman and Kryptonite
So I pray how I don't miss my flight, switch to night
Get out the plane, it look all strange
See a man from Spain, holding up my name
Give him my things and head down to bag' claim
And I hear somebody scream my name
So I look back, look once, look twice
Look fast, look left, look right
Look Blink, look Meeno, look Myse
They try tell me honey don't look right
So, I approach her, it all look Kosher
But there was kids runnin' up with posters
And I was startin' to lose sight of chauffer
So I had to say nice to know ya
Get ready
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
What, what, what, what, what, what
Get money all over again
Get money all over again
Come on, uh, uh, All Out
Uh, yo, it just so happen this how Ma$e stay starred
Flip two aces and get two face cards
It happens, chip stackin'
I turn around, see a bunch of chicks clappin'
But a girl walked by, caught my eye
So I said, 'What the fuck, stand here and give me luck'
And she whispered in my ear
A purple one on there and put a pink one on there
I did just that and gave Hud a stack, shout 'I'll be right back'
In fact, I'ma be over here talkin' to love
Said you Been Around the World, been so many places
Hit so many girls, and spent so many faces
And every girl in the world know who Ma$e is
But right now that's really not what the case is
Let's be real, I know you got bills
So how 'bout one night and I just gave you a mil'
Whatchu feel
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
What, what, what, what, what, what
All Out
Wanna Blow
H World, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
I don't rap for Rollies, I rap for Starbucks
I'm that star who get the stars star struck
You a one hit wonder who caught some hard luck
I'm that kid cats can't wait to scar up
But the show ain't over until the bottles is empty
Then girls run out the club, follow the Bently
Knowing that every president need a Lewinsky
Girls know I ain't know you but they try to convince me
And any chick that I'm with already know
You ain't gotta like Ma$e, but bet he blow
And anything that I do get heavy dough
Stop handcuffin' that girl and let her go
My whips got satellite, see it in the graphics
I ain't only got eight cuz I fly passed it
Why ask is Ma$e a classic
Knowin' I'm from the hood doing deals with Magic
Come on
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
Get ready, tonight
We're gonna make this a night to remember
What, what, what, what, what, what
Get money all over again, get money all over again
H World get money again
All Out get money again
Wanna Blow, get money again
So Bad Boy get money again
No Limit get money again
Roc-A-Fella get money again
Untertainment get money again
Charli get money again
Brandy get money again
Cuda Love get money again
Cardan get money again
Yo, even Cam' get money again
We back, we back, we back, we back
We back, we back again
We back, we back, we back, we back
We back, we back again

Line by Line Meaning
See, the difference with me
I stand apart from others
When I do what I do
In my field of expertise
I do what I'm doing
I give it my all
But I'm doing it like I'm doing it for TV
I aim for perfection
Keep ya hands up
Raise your hands
What, what, put your hands up
Encouraging people to join in
Come on, come on, keep your hands up
Don't put your hands down
We back, we back, we back, we back (put your hands up)
We return for another round
We back, we back again (keep your hands up)
We return to continue
We back, we back, we back, we back, we back, we back
We're back and ready to take over
I remember the days of prayin' my chips be right
I remember my days of struggle
Louie the 13, no more Cris tonight
I no longer settle for less
Gold to me is like Superman and Kryptonite
Gold is my weakness
So I pray how I don't miss my flight, switch to night
I pray I don't miss opportunities
Get out the plane, it look all strange
The surroundings look unfamiliar
See a man from Spain, holding up my name
I see someone waiting for me
Give him my things and head down to bag' claim
I give him my belongings
And I hear somebody scream my name
Someone recognizes me
So I look back, look once, look twice
I glance back multiple times
Look fast, look left, look right
I scan my surroundings quickly
Look Blink, look Meeno, look Myse
I look for people I trust
They try tell me honey don't look right
They caution me
So, I approach her, it all look Kosher
I engage with her
But there was kids runnin' up with posters
There were people trying to get my attention
And I was startin' to lose sight of chauffer
I was distracted from my goal
So I had to say nice to know ya
I had to politely end the conversation
Get money all over again
Make more money
Uh, yo, it just so happen this how Ma$e stay starred
It's no accident that I'm successful
Flip two aces and get two face cards
I have good luck
It happens, chip stackin'
I am successful at gambling
I turn around, see a bunch of chicks clappin'
I am popular with women
But a girl walked by, caught my eye
I noticed a new woman
So I said, 'What the fuck, stand here and give me luck'
I asked her to stay with me
And she whispered in my ear
She spoke softly to me
A purple one on there and put a pink one on there
She gave me gambling advice
I did just that and gave Hud a stack, shout 'I'll be right back'
I followed her advice and made money
In fact, I'ma be over here talkin' to love
I decided to spend time with the woman
Said you Been Around the World, been so many places
She acknowledged my accomplishments
Hit so many girls, and spent so many faces
She acknowledged my past relationships
And every girl in the world know who Ma$e is
My fame is widespread
But right now that's really not what the case is
That's not why she's talking to me
Let's be real, I know you got bills
She brought up money
So how 'bout one night and I just gave you a mil'
She offered me money for one night
Whatchu feel
What's your response?
I don't rap for Rollies, I rap for Starbucks
I'm not motivated by luxury items
I'm that star who get the stars star struck
I am a popular celebrity
You a one hit wonder who caught some hard luck
You are not as successful as I am
I'm that kid cats can't wait to scar up
People want to compete with me
But the show ain't over until the bottles is empty
The party continues until the drinks are gone
Then girls run out the club, follow the Bently
Women chase after luxury cars
Knowing that every president need a Lewinsky
Women are attracted to powerful men
Girls know I ain't know you but they try to convince me
Women try to pretend they know me
And any chick that I'm with already know
My relationships are known
You ain't gotta like Ma$e, but bet he blow
You don't have to like me, but I am successful
And anything that I do get heavy dough
I make a lot of money
Stop handcuffin' that girl and let her go
Stop being possessive of your partner
My whips got satellite, see it in the graphics
My cars are high-tech
I ain't only got eight cuz I fly passed it
I have more than just eight cars
Why ask is Ma$e a classic
My success and popularity speak for themselves
Knowin' I'm from the hood doing deals with Magic
I came from humble beginnings and am now successful
We're gonna make this a night to remember
We will have a great time tonight
Get money all over again
Make more money again
So Bad Boy get money again
The record label makes money again
No Limit get money again
Another record label makes money again
Roc-A-Fella get money again
Another record label makes money again
Untertainment get money again
Another record label makes money again
Charli get money again
A person/business named Charli makes money again
Brandy get money again
A person named Brandy makes money again
Cuda Love get money again
A person named Cuda Love makes money again
Cardan get money again
A person named Cardan makes money again
Yo, even Cam' get money again
A person named Cam' makes money again
We're back and ready to take over
We have returned and are prepared for success

Why did R&B and Rap music videos look so good back then?
@williedavis1980
Because people were allowed to be creative and was encouraged to be creative.
@marlonthompson4539
This song doesn't get half the credit it deserves. Pure banger.. Why this isn't played regularly on the old school hip hop channels is a mystery to me..one of my fave songs ever. No matter what mood I'm in, I play this joint and I'm in a good mood.
@TrYED84
It's simple, this song wasn't a chart topper, and not because it's a bad song, it came just after Ma$e's retirement so he wasn't doing any promotional work for this single or album. This single should have been as big as "feel so good"
It's a damn shame too because Double Up was a solid album by Ma$e. He left at his peak.
@jarvasedundy1
That's where I'm coming from lol. I heard it, while listening to the radio station on my tv๐๐๐๐๐
@r.m.congrats7690
Mase raps whole first verse is about landing and leaving an airport his pen game and structure of his bars is impeccable
@jmendoza2003
This song brings me back memories in the summer of 1999.
@ljohnson7812
Exactly!
@user-yw9cl9gg8w
Mase made me fall in love with rap music, he is my best rapper of all time
@anthonybyrne5661
So good! The memories... Who's listening to this song in 2020?
