About Git Up, Git Out (feat. Goodie Mob)
"Git Up, Git Out" is the third and final single from Outkast's debut album Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. A conscious Southern story-rap about the dangers of giving in to circumstances and not doing anything with one's life, the song features Cee-Lo and Big Gipp of Goodie Mob, the second appearance of any of Goodie Mob's members, after "Call Of Da Wild". Produced by the Dungeon Family's own Organized Noize, the track is also featured in the 2006 film ATL, which also featured Big Boi, and was sampled in the 1998 hit "Can I Get A. .
Git Up, Git Out (feat. Goodie Mob) Lyrics
[00:10.04] Nigga, you need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[00:13.21] Don't let the days of yo' life pass by
[00:16.17] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[00:18.92] Don't spend all yo' time tryin' to get high
[00:21.82] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[00:24.74] How will you make it if you never even try?
[00:27.66] You need to get up, get out and get somethin' (get somethin')
[00:30.87] 'Cause you and I got to do for you and I
[00:33.79] I don't recall, ever graduatin' at all
[00:36.58] Sometimes I feel I'm just a disappointment to y'all
[00:39.32] Every day, I just lay around then I can't be found
[00:42.32] Always askin' "Gimme some" livin' life like a mo'
[00:45.28] Times is rough (my), my auntie got enough problems of her own
[00:49.28] Nigga, you supposed to be grown
[00:50.90] I agree, I try to be the man I'm 'posed to be
[00:53.70] But negativity is all you seem to ever see
[00:56.66] I admit, I've done some dumb shit
[00:59.03] And I'm probably gon' do some mo'
[01:00.86] You shouldn't hold that against me though (why not?)
[01:03.42] Why not? My music's all that I got
[01:05.25] But some time must be invested for this to be manifested
[01:08.36] I know you know but I'm gon' say this to you I
[01:11.28] Get high but I don't get too high (why?)
[01:14.67] So what's the limit 'posed to be?
[01:16.46] That must be why you can't get yo' ass up out the bed befo' three
[01:19.87] You need to get up, get out, cut that bullshit out
[01:23.26] Ain't you sick and tired of having to do it out?
[01:25.82] And what up with all these questions?
[01:27.81] You act as though you know somethin' I don't
[01:30.25] Do you have any suggestions?
[01:31.64] 'Cause every job I get is cruel and demeanin'
[01:34.58] Sick of takin' trash out and toilet bowl cleanin'
[01:37.25] But I'm also sick and tired of strugglin'
[01:39.79] I never ever thought I'd have resort to drug smugglin'
[01:43.12] Nah, that ain't what I'm about
[01:45.48] Cee-Lo will just continue travelin' his route
[01:47.23] Without any doubt or fear
[01:49.78] I know the lord ain't brought me this far so he could drop me off here
[01:53.15] Did I make myself clear?
[01:54.23] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[01:57.07] Don't let the days of yo' life pass by
[01:59.97] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[02:02.85] Don't spend all yo' time tryin' to get high, nigga
[02:05.96] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[02:08.56] How will you make it if you never even try?
[02:11.65] You need to get up, get out and get somethin' (get somethin')
[02:14.77] 'Cause you and I got to do for you and I (that's why)
[02:17.22] Well, uh, get up, stand up, so what's said, you dickhead
[02:20.79] See when I was a youngster, used to wear them fuckin' Pro Keds
[02:23.23] My mama made me do it, but the devil, he made me smart
[02:25.95] Told me to jack them weak ass niggas for they fuckin' starters
[02:29.04] In the middle school, I was a bigger fool
[02:31.58] I wore a tank top to show off my tattoo, thought I was cool
[02:34.44] I used to hang out with my daddy's brothers, I call them my uncles (yo)
[02:37.52] They taught me how to smoke herb
[02:39.24] I followed them when they ran numbers
[02:41.20] So ever since I was Rosemary's baby
[02:43.28] And then, I learned the difference between a bitch and a lady
[02:46.17] Hell, I treat 'em all like hoes, see I pimped 'em
[02:48.82] Bitch never had my money, so I never whipped 'em (what's up, hoe?)
[02:51.83] See all the players, came, and all the players, went
[02:55.22] A player ain't a gangsta but a player can handle his shit, bitch
[02:58.11] You need to get up, get out, get somethin'
[03:00.79] Smoke out, 'cause it's all about money, money, money
[03:03.51] Yeah, I said it, a nigga sportin' plats and a Braves hat
[03:06.93] I hang with Rico Wade 'cause the Dungeon is where the funk's at, boy
[03:10.47] I'm true to Organized, 'cause they raised me
[03:12.75] I'm also down with LaFace 'cause L.A. Reid
[03:14.32] Yeah, he pays me, and it's cool
[03:16.42] It's real cool, gettin' paid fat pockets
[03:18.78] And all that other fat shit like that, ha-ha
[03:21.09] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[03:23.60] Don't let the days of yo' life pass by
[03:26.23] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[03:29.36] Don't spend all yo' time tryin' to get high, nigga
[03:32.16] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[03:34.89] How will you make it if you never even try?
[03:37.62] You need to get up, get out and get somethin' (get somethin')
[03:40.58] 'Cause you and I got to do for you and I (that's why)
[03:43.48] A lot of people in my past tried to do me, screw me
[03:47.06] Throw me over in the fire, let me get chunky and charred
[03:50.03] Like a piece of wood and them spirits got the mutant's mind
[03:52.23] I'm gettin' paranoid and steady lookin' for the time
[03:55.44] It's eight in the mornin' and ain't nobody up yet
[03:57.97] I got my Long Johns, get my coat and throw on my ball cap
[04:00.75] I'm headed out the do', to get off in my ride
[04:03.39] I'm diggin' through the ash tray, hopin' to have a good day
[04:06.58] I had Jamaica's best and when I light it up, I hear a voice in my head
[04:10.43] (You got to get up, get out and get somethin')
[04:12.36] Now I know it's on, my day is finally started
[04:15.10] Back up in my crib, eat my shit, break out quick, in my slick
[04:18.97] '84 Sedan DeVille, steady bouncin'
[04:22.08] Out the Pointe to Campbellton Road
[04:24.52] The valley of the Southside flow
[04:26.87] Everybody know about that killer that we call blow, so
[04:29.10] Keep yo' eyes peeled for the cover unit
[04:32.65] 'Cause they known for jumpin' out of black Chevy trucks
[04:35.24] And through the fog
[04:36.15] Here come the Red Dogs, I'm bustin' out around the corner in my hog
[04:38.97] Dippin' from the area, I'm scared
[04:40.67] So one of these bitches might wind up dead
[04:43.24] 'Cause I have no time for jail, fuck Clampett cops, fuck Elgin Bail
[04:47.87] And crooked ass Jackson, got the whole country
[04:50.87] Thinkin' that my city is the big lick for '96
[04:53.78] '94, Big Gipp, Goodie Mob, Outkast, a vision from the past
[04:58.53] Hootie Hoo (Hootie Hoo), my white owls are burnin' kinda slow
[05:03.64] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[05:07.78] Don't let the days of yo' life pass by
[05:10.56] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[05:13.42] Don't spend all yo' time tryin' to get high, nigga
[05:16.37] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[05:19.22] How will you make it if you never even try?
[05:22.36] You need to get up, get out and get somethin' (get somethin')
[05:25.10] 'Cause you and I got to do for you and I (that's why)
[05:27.97] Y'all tellin' me that I need to get out and vote (huh), why?
[05:31.33] Ain't nobody black runnin' but crackers, so, why I got to register?
[05:35.06] I'm thinkin' of better shit to do with my time
[05:36.76] Never smelled aroma of diploma, but I write the deep-est rhymes
[05:41.21] So let me take ya way
[05:42.59] Back to when a nigga stayed in Southwest Atlanta, ay
[05:45.73] Y'all could not tell me nuthin', thought I hit that bottom rock
[05:48.72] At age 13, start workin' at the loadin' dock
[05:51.57] They layin' my mama off of work, General Motors trippin'
[05:54.62] But I come home Bank like Hank, from lickin' and dippin'
[05:57.53] Doin' dumb shit, not knowin' what a nigga know now
[06:00.14] Yeah, that petty shit will have you cased up and locked down
[06:02.93] I dips, over to East Point, still actin' a fool
[06:05.99] Wastin' my time in the school, I'd rather be shootin' pool
[06:08.79] Cool is how I played the tenth grade
[06:11.19] I thought it was all about mackin' hoes and wearin' pimp fades
[06:14.56] Instead of bein' in class, I'd rather be up in some ass
[06:17.36] Not thinkin' about them six courses that I need to pass
[06:20.13] Graduation rolled around like rolly-pollies
[06:22.94] Damn, that's fucked up, I should've listened when my mama told me that
[06:26.34] "If you play now, you gonna suffer later"
[06:28.72] Figured she was talkin' yang-yang, so I payed her no attention
[06:32.27] And kept missin' the point she tried to poke me with
[06:34.58] The doper that I get, the mo' I'm feelin' broke as shit
[06:37.90] Huh, but that don't matter though, I am an O-U-T-Kast
[06:42.14] So get up off your ass
[06:43.00] You need to get up, get out and get somethin'
[06:45.77] Don't let the days of yo' life pass by
