[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I got to get over now
Momma poor, daddy poor
Candy lady had to close
Couldn't buy what she sold (I got to get over now)
Granny poor, pawpaw poor
Must run in the blood, shit that’s all we ever know (I got to get over now)
Neighbors poor, city poor
Politicians passing bills, they don't live 'round the door (I got to get over now, over)
I got to get over now
I got to get over now
[Verse 1]
Who the fuck gon’ tell me I can't get rich 'cause I come from the sticks
Where stone break bones and the junkies suck dick for the glass
I was beggin' when you passed
Why they eatin' out the trash?
Shit I had to do the math
Mickey D's never spoil, do it big with the Mac
Never thrown out
When you rich, shit get old quick
When you poor, it ain't shit to cut the mold out
Say grace, dig in, Hamburger Helper
Cheese that never melted
Stomach that wouldn't settle
Be thankful it ain’t the shelter
You right though, take another bite though
But I’m knowin' this shit ain’t healthy
I pray about it, get another plate up out it
One day, never eat another mixture, all I got to say about it
Too much poison in the bloodstream, high blood pressure killed a lot of kings
[Chorus]
I got to get over now
Momma poor, daddy poor
Candy lady had to close
Couldn't buy what she sold (I got to get over now)
Granny poor, pawpaw poor
Must run in the blood, shit that's all we ever know (I got to get over now)
Neighbors poor, city poor
Politicians passing bills, they don't live ’round the door (I got to get over now, over)
I got to get over now (I got to get over now)
[Verse 2]
Who the fuck gon' tell me I can't get rich 'cause I come from the bricks
Where the pimps break bones and the hoes suck dick for the cash
I was sellin' when you passed
Why they sending out that ass?
Had to do the math
Poonany never spoiled, do it big for a Mac
'Cause you sprung out
When you rich, you become a trick
When you poor, it ain't shit to send them hoes out
Alleyways, motels and dirty covers
Husbands was bothered, love 'em, but fuck around with no rubber
Really, he got a fetish
Yes, she tight tho (Yes she tight tho)
Yes, white tho (Yes she white tho)
But you knowin' that shit ain't healthy
Can't stay about it, get another date up out it
One day the mixture was too strong, all I got to say about it
Too much poison in the bloodstream, prostitution killed a lot of queens
[Chorus]
I got to get over now
Momma poor, daddy poor
Candy lady had to close
Couldn't buy what she sold (I got to get over now)
Granny poor, pawpaw poor
Must run in the blood, shit that's all we ever know (I got to get over now)
Neighbors poor, city poor
Politicians passing bills, they don't live 'round the door (I got to get over now)
Livin' poor, dying poor
Wanna keep me where I'm at, but can't wait to let me go (I got to get over now)
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, over now
Over now, I got to get over now, over now (Over now)
I got to get over now, over now (I gotta get, over now)
I got to get over now, over now (I gotta get, over now)
I got to get over now, over now (I gotta get, over now)
I got to get over now, over now (I gotta get, over now)
I got to get over now, over now (Over, over)
I got to get over now, over now (Over, over, over, over, over)
I got to get over now, over now (Over, over, over, over, over)
I got to get over now, over now (Over, over, over, over, over)
I got to get over now, over now (Over)
I got to get over now, over now (Yeah)
I got to get over now, over now
Over now, over now
