Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I take it back
Take it back, back
Back when it was in style to do the yellow Hummer (Chop Squad)
Back when I had a job every summer (summer)
Back when I tried to be the number one stunner (stunner)
Back when everybody in the band had a drummer (brr)
Back before it was so easy to get a number
Back before George W. used to run it (run it)
Back when me and all my dogs used to go huntin' (hunt)
Boy, we used to get it in
Get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
You know we had to get it in (you know I had to get it)
You know I used to get it in (you know I used to get it)
You know we had to get it in
Get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa)
Schemin', whole team just schemin'
Okay, me and my whole team seem to put it all together (go)
It's time to make the moves that's gon' put us on forever
'Cause they stay down, like my foot did on the pedal
Hold up, stay down like they shooting at me
But they never, I can never take you bitches personal
I brought the money outside in like it's reversible
I'm QB on my team, yeah, so don't rush (rush)
Bitch, start actin' like a grownup (okay)
M-moving like a boss do
Pimp enough that I can pay for law school
I was raised by a O.G. one
Talk to me like I'm Obi Wan (boy)
Business moves, you know we don't discuss
All twenties, talkin' area touch (whoa)
Still runnin' with the dogs like mush
'Cause the only ones we trust is us, an' hell yeah
We get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
You know we had to get it in (you know I had to get it)
You know I used to get it in (you know I used to get it)
You know we had to get it in
Get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa)
Schemin', whole team just schemin'
I'm talkin' plottin' an' schemin'
Boy, we used to get it in
Get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
You know we had to get it in (you know I had to get it)
You know I used to get it in (you know I used to get it)
You know we had to get it in
Get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
Schemin' (yeah), whole team just schemin'
I'm talkin' plottin' an' schemin'
All I ever did was figure it out
Back when a nigga used to have to live on the couch (uh-huh)
I [?] on this shit just to get through the drought (straight up)
I strategised it in my head, then started livin' it out
Man, these niggas want the perks without doin' the work
Drag my name through the mud without doin' the dirt (damn)
I put your face on a shirt like I'm doin' your merch
They love to talk, I'm 'bout doin' it first, 'cause
Boy, we used to get it in
Get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
You know we had to get it in (you know I had to get it)
You know I used to get it in (you know I used to get it)
You know we had to get it in
Get it in, get it in, get it in (whoa, whoa)
Schemin', whole team just schemin'
I'm talkin' plottin' an' schemin'

I'm living life like I found a fucking check with no ink
I'm enjoying life like I received a large sum of money by surprise

Looking at a life you never seen so close
I'm seeing my dreams come closer to reality
I had a dream about a trillion in cash
I dreamed of having an enormous amount of wealth
It's time to make it happen
Now is the moment to turn my dreams into reality
I'm back to dreaming what you can't imagine
I'm dreaming bigger than what people think is possible
Talking cash shit you gotta fake a accent
When discussing wealth, some people pretend to be more posh
I broke enough tree down that I can make a cabin
I have a lot of money and resources to achieve my dreams
I turned all my problems to ash
I overcame my problems and difficulties
All my ones into halves and then divide it by half
I'm making the most of my money and assets
Pass it on to my man write my will out
I want to secure my legacy and benefit my loved ones
Then pass it on to my fam' and finally become a man
I want to take care of my family and establish myself as a successful man
I had a dream I was greatest of all time
I dreamed of being the best at what I do
Greatest of all Big's and greatest of all Sean's
I want to be the most successful and respected in my field
Get it, get it
Go ahead and achieve your dreams
Nigga we can get it (we can get it)
We can achieve success together
Nigga you can get it (you can get it)
You can achieve success too
Nigga I can get it (I can get it)
I'm capable of achieving success
My nigga we can get it (let's go)
We can achieve our dreams if we work hard for it
