Another day in the ghetto
One look outside and I'm already upset yo
It look about a hundred-and-two
It's a Saturday and Biggie ain't got nuttin' to do
Uhh, I'm intrrupted by a phone ring
Sometimes I wish I never got the motherfuckin' thing
"Hello hello? Can I speak to Biggie?"
Yo who dis? "Taisha" Yo call back, I'm busy
Why don'tcha hit me on the box a little later
Washed up, got dressed, hits the elevator
Steps out it's the same old scene
Dopefiend, crackfiend, eyewitness news team

Sittin' all thick, with the ruby red lipstick

You make the head feel special
Now I know it's official

Pull up my pants and diss you

That's her hands, ankles, feet they ashy
I like the flashy type, who pass with dykes
With long hair, and they ass be right

Overall Meaning

The song "Can I Get Witcha" by The Notorious B.I.G. and Method Man is essentially a story of Biggie looking to pick up a woman in the ghetto. As the song opens up, Biggie is describing a lazy day in the ghetto where he is interrupted by a phone call from a woman named Taisha. The main chorus of the song is essentially Biggie trying to convince this woman to sleep with him, stating that he is attracted to her big butt, hence the title of the song. As Biggie tries to persuade the woman, she's apprehensive due to his reputation as a player, and Biggie tries to make himself look more appealing by comparing himself to other men she could be interested in.


"What's my name? What's my name? Brooklyyyyyyn!" and "One two three four, five six seven!" are two popular ad-libs used by Biggie in this song.


The song's beat was produced by DJ Enuff, a New York-based radio personality, and composer Nashiem Myrick who also co-produced some of the songs for Biggie's album "Life After Death."


The hook of the song is based on the 1989 hit "Juicy Fruit" by Mtume.


The music video for the song features Method Man and Biggie riding around the city of New York in a Cadillac Eldorado. The video also features both rappers interacting with various women on the streets of New York.


The track was released on the posthumous album "Born Again" along with guest appearances from Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Redman, and others.


"Can I Get Witcha" is featured in the film "Project X" during a party scene.


In the aftermath of Tupac Shakur's death, the song became quite popular for its reference to Tupac’s “I Get Around” lyrics.


In an interview, Method Man said he missed the chance to work with Biggie on a collaboration project because of schedule conflicts.


If there are any guitar or piano chords for the song, they are not readily available online.
