Yea, ok...
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh...
Yea, uh, yo, uh
[Verse: Angie Martinez]
They call me "Digalo" Angie
Rippin' the arenas in Miami
Or the chulos in white tees (yea)
You ain't peeped the Billboard on Jimmy's
Then I guess you cannot see
You want to party wit me, da-to
Only big dogs invited, no gatos
Quite though, what's with all the questions, whoa
Why you asking? I'm all in wit my friends embarrassing
Be easy, you want to get up close and personal?
Cop the CD, if not leave me
I'm bout to bag somethin', why you blocking?
'Cause your man in Timbs is home watchin'?
I'm a pro, mangu on the stove
Chancletas and a robe, my crew at the show
Big Pun in my heart, esperate how it go? it go
[Men chanting]
[Chorus: x 2]
It go esperate, hold on, legs so strong
We can do it, we can do it, we can get it on
You know what's "papichu", and playing "capicu"
And tell them chicks that they can all come around too
[Verse: Angie Martinez]
Andre mia amor, I would love to date you
Soon as I come off tour
I like papis from Cuba, Colombia, Bermuda, Peru or Ecuador
We got PR, DR, Mexico, Panama
Guatama' pa's wit flags in their cars
This is for the Jose's, Juan's, Claudio's
Broadway, LES, en el bario
Bronx, Fernando's, only trabajando
On the calle, watchin' for bandos
These - Orlando, Victor's, Tony's
Who pick up and hold me, put away your Rolly
I like 'em low key, oh you blow trees?
I got half an o-z you shoulda' told me
I get the groceries and 'Pac's CD
Now everybody sing my part with me, see'mon
[Chorus]
[Verse: Angie Martinez]
Hard level to the quarters at the fight screaming "Ti-to!"
Or at the table all night, more heat though
What chu know about the Chimmy-Cherry?
And don't forget, I need a cab para tu me le tumbe le
Come down - BK, uptown - NY to LA
Everything's still "Suavemente"
Para mi jente, after the show
Everybody get your freak on (sawago-sawago)
All my eses, Etey
This is the casa con anamo anamo
You know what's that? Angie the Old G
I can be a girl, and be your "Cold D"
And we can go eat, see, I'm a keeper
All I ask is for me to see you in wife beaters
And in them nice sneakers
He like me? I don't doubt him
Word? You got feelings for me? then cop two albums!
[Chorus]
[Men Chanting]
Esperate, hold on, legs so strong
We can do it, we can do it, we can get it on!
We can do it, we can do it, we can get it on!
Oohh!
The lyrics to N.O.R.E.'s song "Get It In" feature Angie Martinez, who delivers a confident and assertive verse. In the verse, she introduces herself as "Digalo" Angie, someone who is tearing up the arenas in Miami and inviting people to dance with her on the beach. She mentions being featured on Billboard and invites only big dogs to party with her, excluding the "gatos" (small cats). Angie brushes off questions and is unapologetic about her behavior, stating that she is all in with her friends, even if it may be embarrassing. She asserts her independence, urging those who want to get close to her to either buy her CD or leave her alone.
The chorus repeats the phrase "esperate," which can be translated to "wait" or "hold on." It emphasizes the idea of anticipation and building excitement. Angie encourages the listener to embrace their strong legs, suggesting that they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. She mentions the Spanish terms "papichu" and "capicu," both of which are associated with playful and flirtatious games. Angie invites all the girls to join in and have a good time together.
In the second verse, Angie expresses her desire to date someone named Andre, but only after she finishes touring. She lists off various nationalities and regions, expressing interest in men from these places, including Cuba, Colombia, Bermuda, Peru, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Panama. She shouts out different neighborhoods and individuals, highlighting her familiarity with different parts of the city. Angie mentions enjoying low-key individuals who enjoy smoking marijuana, suggesting that she has some to share. She also references Tupac's CD and encourages everyone to sing along with her.
The final verse introduces Angie as the "Old G," emphasizing her experience and expertise. She describes going to a boxing match, screaming for Tito Trinidad, and spending a late night at the table, potentially gambling. She mentions "Chimmy-Cherry," a term that may refer to a drink or a dance move. Angie asks for a cab because she wants to go out and have a good time. She shouts out different locations, from Brooklyn to LA, and the Spanish phrase "Suavemente" which means "smoothly." Angie encourages everyone to let loose after the show and references "sawago-sawago," which may be the name of a dance or a slang term. She represents her Hispanic culture and asserts herself as a strong and confident woman. She says she enjoys seeing men in wife beaters and nice sneakers and challenges someone who claims to have feelings for her to support her by buying two of her albums.
