Overall Meaning

In Sean Paul's song Get it Right, the singer refers to himself as someone who is bringing something new to the table in the music industry. He is teaming up with Mike Ranson and Debbie Nova to create a fresh sound. He emphasizes this point by starting the song with "Well in come di ting dem a call di ol' to di new," which can be interpreted as him being the "new" in an industry that has become tired of the "old." He assures his listeners that he is a naturalist and they do not need to worry about anything because he's got them covered. He describes a world where everyone is having a good time and all the girls are getting their hands up for him. The lyrics are filled with Jamaican dialect in combination with English, which reinforces his artistic identity.

In the song, Sean Paul mentions the name Alice, which could be interpreted as a reference to the story of Alice in Wonderland where Alice found herself in a world that was wild and crazy, not unlike the world that Sean Paul is describing in his song. He also references Chris Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G, by mentioning his name as "Chris Wallace." This is a nod to the late rapper who was an influential figure in the Hip Hop industry. Moreover, the lyrics mention San Jose and J-A, which stands for Jamaica, highlighting Sean Paul's roots and his pride in representing his hometown.
