Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Count all the cash up
You gotta get it, get it, get it
See stops signs and red lights
I hear gun shots and street fights
Ambulance sirens holler in the late night
It's murder, Compton nigga it don't stop
If you down throw it up soak
It up like a sponge, baby
I'm sweepin up all the crumbs daily
It all add up
It's about to get fucked the fuck up
Shut the fuck up or get fucked the fuck up
For real nigga
Keep your eyes on your women nigga
Pass the lemon, squeeze it in Hennessey nigga
It's all with me, let the mob kiss you
Affiliation is my job, forever I'm a paid man
A brave manI sip the Henny down to nothin'
What you know about the knock
You got from Doc huh?
It's nothing', it's all money and cream
Gasoline so supreme it's third
Under the greens
Get your money right
Don't be worried 'bout the next man
Make sure your business tight
Get your money right go inside the safe
Grab your stash that you copped tonight
You gotta get your money right
Be an international player
Don't be scared to catch
Those red eye flights
You better get your money right
Cause when you out there on the
Streets, you gotta get it, get it
If you ain't in it for the
Money then get out the game
Motherfuckas' better think 'fore they
Spit out my name
I've been known to have tone
Shit out the frame
Load up the clip and aim, listen
If you ain't in it for the
Dough your rhymin' the blah
I hit you with an O you'll
Be the crime in your block
If you wanna sell a
Million motherfucker then ride
You know we come through with the glacier
We'll be blindin' your block
And our homes be spacious like
A million and dot
I be holdin your bracelets tryin'
To steal at your shot
Been a villian since I can
Remember 4 wheelin' the plot
Sell crack, make a million and stop, feel me?
Get your money right
Don't be worried 'bout the next man
Make sure your business tight
Get your money right go inside the safe
Grab your stash that you copped tonight
You gotta get your money right
Be an international player
Don't be scared to catch
Those red eye flights
You better get your money right
Cause when you out there on the
Streets, you gotta get it, get it
Yeah from Compton to the Brooklyn zoo
I'm classic like Detox and Blueprint two
I went from Whoo Kid's and the DJ Clue's
To signing autographs on G-Unit shoes
Y'all thought it was over after Hova retired
'Till I pulled up in that
Rover on 24-inch wires
Under the limo tint spittin'
That gangbang lingo the kid get 20 thou' for
A show with no single
So how the fuck could you judge me
Niggas push but they can't budge me
Niggas sayin' fuck me
See me in the lowrider, niggas try to mug me
Then I hop out
Niggas try to dap me and hug me
See me in my red converse
Niggas wanna cuz me
But blood be the reason these
Street niggas love me
The same reason your bitch wanna suck me
You niggas ain't artists you just
Paint pictures of me
Get your money right
Don't be worried 'bout the next man
Make sure your business tight
Get your money right go inside the safe
Grab your stash that you copped tonight
You gotta get your money right
Be an international player
Don't be scared to catch
Those red eye flights
You better get your money right
Cause when you out there on the
Streets, you gotta get it, get it
In the verses of The Game Feat. Dr. Dre's song Get It, the artists talk about their approach to handling their finances and hustling in their city. The Game boasts about staying on top of his finances by listening to his bank statements instead of those around him, even if it angers his banker. He explains that money isn't the only thing that motivates him, but rather the way he lives his life is his priority. He points out that there's a difference between working for a living and living for what you do.
He goes on to explain that he's put in the work and paid his dues to get where he is, and he's still living like he's on a mission. He suggests that if you're not spending, you may appear suspicious, so they maneuver like bosses and get what they want. The Game talks about taking care of his family and considering the skeletons under the building, perhaps referring to the challenges he's faced in his life.
Dr. Dre jumps in on the track with a verse that refers to a woman who's seeking his attention but isn't finding satisfaction with other men, so he offers her a prescription, metaphorically speaking. The song ends with The Game telling listeners to quiet their doubts or fears and focus on hustling and their innermost spirits.

Are you kidding me!? Dre, Jay and Game and not even 500k views!? This is an outright classic right here
@ravibhatti746
It’s cause this track is not legit. Jay never got on this song with game. He never gave it to game. Game just put a verse on and put it on a mixtape. They were beefing at the time too. So it makes no sense.
@eyecontrol4900
@Ravi Bhatti this was the song that started the beef with Jayz and Game.
@rossfylesthadon1443
@Eye Control yeah Jay Z was crying because Game put it on his mixtape
@Gardenstateking
completely forgot about this joint until Ii saw a video about Game vs Jay-Z today. This stayed in rotation for me.
