The Gettin'

Aww yeah

What I like the brothers and sisters

In the audience to do right about now

Including y'all in the back

I want you to snap your fingers like this, c'mon, c'mon

Aww, c'mon, I know y'all got rhythm, c'mon

Everybody snap your fingers like this

Every single soul, c'mon

Aww, what's goin' on right about here is center stage

It's about a brotha, it's what a brotha does

When he's gettin' ready for a date, ha ha, yeah

My mom likes to call it 'The Gettin''

She calls it 'The getting'' because the brotha's gettin' slick

Gettin' ready, gettin' snazzy

Gettin' prepared for a dinner

And gettin' prepared for an even mo' betta dessert

If you understand what I'm talking about?

I think this sista and brotha know

What I'm talking about, check this out

Gettin' jazzy, gettin' snazzy, alright

But you probably ain't gettin' it on, oh yeah

Brotha man, brotha man

Brotha man thinks he's gonna knock boots tonight

You know what I'm talkin' about?

I think brotha man think he's gonna

Do the nasty tonight, alright? I think brotha man thinks he's gonna

Umm, hit the skins tonight

If you know what I'm talking about, alright

I said, "Yo baby, yo baby, yo baby, yo uh", yeah

Ah, but the sistas ain't down

With that type of stuff no mo', you see

They decided, yo

We ain't gotta have materialism type of stuff

We want somethin' mo' than that

Am I right sistas?

Ah yeah, so you know, um

Brotha man is wearing the most expensive clothes

The most expensive watch

The most expensive Calvin Klein jeans

And all those type of thang

But the sistas don't give a dang

Because a sista's got her own thang goin' on

She wants a real man, you know what I'm talking about, yeah

Well, I tried to tell the brotha

I said, "Brotha man, sistas don't want that type

Of thang in the black community anymore"

We lookin' for somethin' a little bit deeper

Gettin' jazzy, gettin' snazzy

But you probably ain't gettin' it on

Oh, gettin' jazzy, gettin' snazzy

But you probably ain't gettin' it on

And all the brotha had to really do was to be upset
