Shot out durk
Yeah this is as real as it gets
I done played my role
I done played my part
And them niggas back doored me shit
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice and I'm loading the clip
We outside
This is the life that we picked
Yeah this is as real as it gets
Yeah this is as real as it gets
I done played my role
I done played my part
And them niggas back doored me shit
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice and I'm loading the clip
We outside
We outside
This is the life that we picked
Yeah this is as real as it gets
Yeah this is as real as it gets
These niggas be acting real tough
But niggas be bitch
Your wife wanna swallow my kids
I let her babysit my kids
Then I go handle my biz
Time to expose the haters
I'm on my grind
Yeah like a pro skater
You niggas get no paper
Hitting my line but I do no favors
Sometimes you go through shit
Take a L learn from it quick
My ice on damn he rich
I'm too fly take a pic
My life a movie flick
I know I make 'em sick
But this is as real as it gets
Yeah this is as real as it gets
I done played my role
I done played my part
And them niggas back doored me shit
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice and I'm loading the clip
We outside
We outside
This is the life that we picked
Yeah this is as real as it gets
Yeah this is as real as it gets
I done played my role
I done played my part
And them niggas back doored me shit
Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice and I'm loading the clip
We outside
We outside
This is the life that we picked
Yeah this is as real as it gets
The lyrics to "Get It" by Wilmer Alexander Jr. & The Dukes are infused with themes of survival and realness. The song starts with the line "Shot out durk," which sets the tone for the rest of the song - an unapologetic display of toughness and authenticity. The artist makes it clear that he has been betrayed before (when he says "Fool me once shame on you/Fool me twice and I'm loading the clip"), and is now living life on his own terms, with no time for favors ("Hitting my line but I do no favors"). The line "These niggas be acting real tough/But niggas be bitch" speaks to the idea of "fake toughness" - an illusion of strength that is ultimately just a facade.
The chorus of the song, "We outside/This is the life that we picked/Yeah this is as real as it gets," reinforces the idea that the artist is living life on his own terms, despite the hardships he has faced. The verses of the song talk about living a life of luxury ("My ice on damn he rich/I'm too fly take a pic") but being willing to take risks and face adversity along the way. Overall, "Get It" is a song about living life authentically, and being willing to face the consequences of one's actions in pursuit of success.
