[Intro: Redman]
Gilla House niggas
Check it out
('Cause I like it!)

[Verse 1: Redman]
Yo! I'm Ghetto Fab, hungry
Beastie Boy with (Brass Monkey)
Humphey Bogartin' the whole country
Chunky women love Doc
(Projects) pump me like Pat
My pimp game is like rugby
Doctor, you know
New flow, new dough
Drunker than Woodrow, good time with a hood ho
Mutombo, stack that bread tall
Two chromey things like the back of my rear exhaust
Redman, dog - something wrong, strong arm
If I don't get (Chips) like Ponch and John
You get slapped like Dee Barnes
(Doctor), not Dre
And eating - but, I'm after the entree!
My watch got TV's in, CD in play
Wanna find D-O, I'm knee-deep in MJ
(Boy), I'm (Bad)
And You've Got Mail
And I need brain - she said (Yes) like he 112

[Chorus: Redman (Saukrates)]
PICK UP - boogee women!
PICK UP - freaky women!
PICK UP - ghetto women!
PICK UP - classy women!
PICK UP - boogee women!
PICK UP - freaky women!
PICK UP - ghetto women!

Y'all know y'all can't fuck with us! GET 'EM!
When I see a big ass I go and - GET 'EM!
(Fuck the club, man!)
(I'mma fuck where I - GET 'EM!)

[Verse 2: Saukrates (Redman)]
Saukrates, all action, less talk
I'm paid to make the muscle under your chest talk
GILLA! Attack like that pump he lets off
20 motherfuckers hittin' from the chest up!
Saukrates, worldwide name
God put me D, now worldwide game (GILLA!)
Niggas keep a burner by the flame
'Cause when shit get hot, we already came!
Saukrates, double vision, double incision
Double the pimpin' - takeover!
One of a kind, a stark reminder to any mark
Who wanna' stop the run of my cake over!
She ain't missin', she just kissin'
On my johnson, shit was out of the frame
Like (D) video, How Does It Feel?
That Gilla House chill
It's Saukrates season, better shoot to kill!

[Chorus: Redman (Saukrates)]
PICK UP - boogee women!
PICK UP - freaky women!
PICK UP - ghetto women!
PICK UP - classy women!
PICK UP - boogee women!
PICK UP - freaky women!

[Verse 3: Icadon (Redman)]

Or this ratchet gonna' blast ya!
(My flowwwwwww!)
Is like a natural disaster
Bricks the Brook-lon, the crack move faster!
(I blowwwwwwwwww!)
Backwoods on the master
Dro' grown in the cold waters of Alaska
(Where I goooooooooo!)
I don't ever fold a map up
Wack, fuck (Navigation) in the black truck!
Icadon, I own the dick your chick's on
Gilla House! I'm clique strong, the fifth long
My name reign, from Bricks to Brick-ston
But I'm from Brook-lon, don't get flipped on!
I'm nice with my metal wear, ice in the ghetto
If I die - nigga, your wife is a widow!
I'll nice with the fiddle
I'll make the belly button a bulls-eye, nigga!
I'll put my knife in the middle!

[Chorus: Redman (Saukrates)]
PICK UP - boogee women!
PICK UP - freaky women!
PICK UP - ghetto women!
PICK UP - classy women!
PICK UP - boogee women!
PICK UP - freaky women!
PICK UP - ghetto women!
PICK UP - classy women!
Gilla House in this bitch and we - GET 'EM!

Overall Meaning

The song "Get 'Em" by Redman featuring Icadon & Saukrates is a homage to the pursuit of women. In the intro, Redman introduces the members of Gilla House. In the first verse, Redman describes himself as "Ghetto Fab, hungry" and compares himself to a Beastie Boy with "Brass Monkey." He goes on to say "Chunky women love Doc," and that his pimp game is like rugby. He mentions a willingness to get violent to get what he wants and refers to "Chips" like Ponch and John from CHiPs, the popular TV show from the 70s and 80s. In the chorus, Redman repeatedly shouts "GET 'EM!" to encourage himself to pursue women of all types.


In the second verse, Saukrates takes over and raps about his ability to take action and make things happen. Specific lines compare himself to a pump that he lets off, and he boasts about his worldwide game. He also references the Gilla House crew and the fact that they're all armed ("keep a burner by the flame"). The message is clear: they run things and they're not afraid to use force if necessary. In the third verse, Icadon jumps in and mostly talks about his personal prowess, from his flow to his drug dealing ability to the way he handles women. He has a cool delivery compared to the others, and is less boastful. The chorus repeats several times, encouraging listeners to pick up women of all types.
