Better get it while the getting is good you do what you do
|
No hesitation ain't no time for playing games
|
Go head and take all you can and grab with both hands
|
Do it big or they won't even know your name
|
While the getting is good you do what you do
|
No hesitation ain't no time for playing games
|
Go head and take all you can and grab with both hands
|
Do it big or they won't even know your name
|
|
What are you doing with your life your time on earth is sacred
|
The time you spend at your plantation is it worth the paper
|
Its like you working for nathan the money's circulating
|
Can't pay your mortgage but you buying bottles perpetrating
|
Chill with them threatening raps
|
You sound lame you a snake you made the plane with your venomous acts
|
They call me Gentleman Sav because I back Miss Congeniality like Benjamin Bratt
|
Attracting chicks like [?]
|
While you only deal with the bitches I deal with the realest women
|
And still how they feel the rhythm in they mid section
|
When they blessed with the child bearing hips
|
Softest pair of lips is when they hair get flipped
|
I love my culture and heritage keep me from being derelict
|
Invested in myself like this was Merrill Lynch
|
Been waiting for my second coming like I'm heaven sent
|
Even though I'm not your savior I grace you with my benevolence
|
|
Better get it while the getting is good you do what you do
|
No hesitation ain't no time for playing games
|
Go head and take all you can and grab with both hands
|
Do it big or they won't even know your name
|
While the getting is good you do what you do
|
No hesitation ain't no time for playing games
|
Go head and take all you can and grab with both hands
|
Do it big or they won't even know your name
|
|
My style is unfadeable and hater proof I'll slay the proof
|
I'm known to interrupt the program like late breaking news
|
Some say its only egg heads that I cater to
|
Then wait a few in order to make an omelet I gotta break a few
|
My plate is full i wasn't suppose to be here but I made it through
|
My reputation grew I left blood on the stage for you
|
How dare you say that my commitment is debatable
|
I'm married to the music you rhythm then I'm a slave to you
|
Commercial artist so relatable consumer appetite is insatiable
|
I could do what they could do easily
|
But then they say Kweli be seeming fake to you
|
Record sales ain't making you money is motivating you
|
The artist gotta lead I hope the fan base stay with you
|
The products shoddy if you rush it for the paper true
|
D'Angelo and Sade they take a decade or two
|
Keep that good music coming and they'll wait for you
|
|
Better get it while the getting is good you do what you do
|
No hesitation ain't no time for playing games
|
Go head and take all you can and grab with both hands
|
Do it big or they won't even know your name
|
While the getting is good you do what you do
|
No hesitation ain't no time for playing games
|
Go head and take all you can and grab with both hands
|
Do it big or they won't even know your name
|
