Get Live (feat. Erykah Badu)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause they never get live like me

Ooh, oh, it's live like ain't this

Ah, ain't this, oh

Get up out the bed, it's looking like a beautiful day

Put on a classic tape in the cassette deck then press play

Let my mind at ease, better than smoking on trees

Look outside the window, leaves fallin' down

Turnin' brown, hit the ground

Season change, time to rearrange my thoughts

So I can stimulate the brain, gotta maintain

That's how we get down, they crown us kings

Protectin' the queen in this match of wits with the Black fists

I give 'em fits in this immaculate, beautiful movement

Known for craftin' classics, yo my, that's it

Got the speaker box blastin', my love is below

Take these cats to the underground and show 'em a show

We like chillin' with the crowd, gettin' live to this

Pump it up loud, y'all, we can ride to this

Where my fans at, dawg? No denyin' this

SFP in the place to be and that's it

Never get live like us, they

Never get live like us, they

Never get live like us, they

Never get live like this now

Everybody's gettin', everybody's gettin'

Everybody's gettin' (Uh, down to this, say)

Everybody's gettin', everybody's gettin'

Everybody's gettin' (By the sound of this, say)

It's like a brother stuck up in the matrix

Dealing with hatred on another level, gotta make it

Pastor was telling me, "Give it to God, no need to face it" -- maybe

It's like the pressure got me going crazy -- never

So all my peoples gotta stick together -- do that

We stepping up on the scene just like you knew that -- for sure

We with Badu and she gon' let it blow -- that's right

It's been a long time coming, a hundred-plus miles and running

We giving up facts but they still making assumptions

I was wondering, can I clear up all the rain and all the thundering?

Turn the speakers up and feel the music pondering

That our love show and flow throughout the continents

Amongst the rinse of thieves and leaves with our common senses

Feel the breeze and see with my stunning lenses, plus

Let's make it happen, there's no need for fail because

Never get live like this, they

Never get live like this, they

Never get live like us, they

Never get live like this now

Everybody's gettin', everybody's gettin'

Everybody's gettin' (Uh, down to this, and say)

Everybody's gettin', everybody's gettin'

Everybody's gettin' (By the sound of this, say)

I got this feeling in my bones that the time is right now

Ever since I got a mic, I can't seem to pipe down

Like I got a crack addiction, and rehab is the vibe that you get

When someone puts an ill tape in your deck

I mean a CD 'cause if we be in '06

Then MP3s like these'll make you say oh

It might make you feel like somebody put the soul in a hole

It's only 'cause it's been a ho of a road

I mean a hard road to hoe

Might slip up, still rip up tracks

And guaranteed I'll wax that abstract

My mind's a black MAC, protect mine, bust back and reload

It's hard up, comin' out of the cold

Y'all **** better squad up if you ain't stealin' the show

And if you never thought us, we gon' give it a go

It's Badu and all us, big D in the hole

Nine yards holding it down and fa sho' we gettin' live

Never get live like this, they

Never get live like this, they

Never get live like us, they

Never get live like this now

Everybody's gettin', everybody's gettin'

Everybody's gettin' (Uh, down to this, and say)

Everybody's gettin', everybody's gettin'

Everybody's gettin' (By the sound of this, say)

Wow, wow, wow (Yeah)

Wow, wow, wow (Come on, ha)

Wow, wow, wow (Yeah)

Wow, wow, wow (Ee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee, oh)

Wow, wow, wow (Yep)

Oh, ah, ah, oh-oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

Ooh-hoo, ooh, yee, hey

Yee, hee, hee, hey, hey, wow

Whoa

Doo, doo, doo, doo, ca-dee-dee

Di-di-di, oh-oh-oh, uh

That's so strange
