One two three

Yeah I'm trying to get it right live my life right

I want the things that come with the fast life

But I don't wanna lose my soul right pay with my life

I just wanna rock ice with my fresh nikes yeah yeah

Cruz the girls at the school think I dress nice yeah

The real thug niggaz cool with a ni**a right that's right

'Til one day after school waking home right uh huh

Them same thug niggaz ran up on a brother right

With three more I never met in my life damn

Axed me where I'm from banged on me right where you from

The brothers that I knew was up outta sight

Man they made me get it together now I ack right

Let's get it together

Trials and tribulations both got you accosted

Understand I'm not the one go tap some other resources

The road that you travel gone be paved in some gravel

So before you try on jock me understand the sh*t is rocky

I don't mean a boxer illy or Oscar

I'm trying to spit some game so your a** can prosper

Pay a little dues do a couple a shows

Put a mix tape out man let's see how it goes

My only good advise is to cut your own slice

I mean the world ain't gone bite just cause you think you nice

How can I be diplomatic when this ain't automatic

I'm gonna tell you right this a roll of the dice

Let's get it together

Hey being solid silent's the first sign

If not being able to follow my first line

I dirt grind on my first it works fine

I'm alert but I been caught of guard at the worst time worst time

Yeah I get apparent applause

But do these people know my character flaws I get embarrassed

And pause meticulous but never careless because

I might be the one standing on your terrace that falls

And you can laugh but it's therapeutic to

Talk about my faults of a acoustic dove sh*t

We ain't perfect to fight just ain't worth it

Despite a stained surface we gotta retain purpose

Let's get it together

I was a pick a the litter when I was a little ni**a

My pops would turn preacher once my voice got deeper

Than his for all the times a ni**a would vent

I had to listen he was paying the rent and what

He's saying he meant I'll admit I was tripping a bit

I was hanging with different chicks and we be wild'n and sh*t

But I had to get a grip before time ran out

Or pop starts to trip start putting me out

But now I kinda see what he was talking about

You can't live in somebody house and start airing it out

You got to be your own man and handle your biz

And later on you can tell 'em what time it is

Let's get it together

For you and me

Let's get it together

For you and me

Let's get it together

For you and me

Let's get it together

For you and me

For you and me

For you and me

For you and me
