[Chorus]
You know we trap all day, play all night
This is the life of a, the life of a go getta (eh!)
Go getta (eh!), go getta (yeah!)
And in the club, you see a bad bitch; point her out (oh!)
Yeah, you damn right I'm a (eh!)
You damn right I'm a go getta (eh!)
Go getta (eh!), go getta (yeah!)

[Young Jeezy]
In the immediate state they callin' me Will Smith
Thing on my side, you can call that Jada
The boys talkin' down; yeah, we call 'em hatas
I'm ballin' right now, so we'll get back to that later
Be the first to admit I'm such an alcoholic
Only blow that good shit, yeah, that whatchamacallit
Catch me posted on the block in something exotic
'07, yeah, same color Hypnotic
I'm on the outside lookin', and I want in
My homie did the same thing, and he got ten
Just took a loss; still tryin' two win
And you tryin' to get back, so what you tryin' to spend?

[Chorus]

[Young Jeezy]
We live life on the edge like there's no tomorrow (yeah)
They grind hard like there's no today
They do the same shit like it's yesterday
The game never stop so who's next to play?
Against all odds you can place your bets
Yeah, I'm just gettin' started, so I ain't done yet (naw)
Risk it all, you can lose your life
What else can I say? That's a hell of a price (damn)
I don't under 'cause I over-stand
No time for mistakes, so I over-plan
I'm in the club like what?
Four-five wit' me, and I'm a stay thuggin' till the feds come get me

[Chorus]

[R.Kelly]
Hey, hey, this is how we play
When we roll up to the club high, sittin' on twenty treys
Hop out like we fabulous
Top models grabbin' us
They love them go gettas, only in America
Put D on chicks like Wallace
Turn 'em, throw 'em down
Thinkin' they can have all this
Can't deny it when you see the wheels spinnin'
Boy Kells out the coupe in Miami white linen
Chips big spendin', walk out the club with a shit load a women
Soon as I see one I like, I'm a go getta
I'm a get it 'cause I'm a go getta





[Chorus]

@charlessnortley4519

My uncle an auntie took me an my older brother because we were too wild (gang banging an selling crack) at 16-17... But see when we moved in with my moms sister, at first he would only give us dime bags or a quarter of Reggie Bush finally i couldnt wait until the first of the month i went to school an rounded up half the schools money an only gave them a half ounce to split. Lol i was smoking good than i start making kids pay me an my brother or take us on the high ride for the plug. An man when i tell u my uncle went from 2 pounds to 20 with just me an my brother there. Finally his plug sent him an my brother home "with a gift" an it was a big ass block of Yola' 2kilos in one brick. He didnt know what to do (the previous summer when i was 15 was the first time we stole from another cousins of mine sister an her baby daddy) they was moving 4kilos a month. An we would take the bottom kilo an break off zips of that shit. An go to the bootlegger on our rez trade em cocaine an go cook up at the crackheads crib. Man when jeezy was Killing the radio waves it was a movie for my reservation (im native american) anyway when we broke down them kilos we ended up with over 6 workers an getting all the crackheads to blow us up!.... We was booming. Than when we were done the plug had to do 10 years. An he was gonna give us the logistics operation (going to pick it up an drive it thru 4 states) making their orders for the family of mexicans. Shit was fun. Jeezy will always be mid 2000s rap king.
