Love's Gonna Get'cha (Material Love) - Boogie Down Productions[00:00:00]
You know that's why man I've been telling[00:00:11]
You all the time man you know love[00:00:13]
That word love is a very serious thing[00:00:15]
And if you don't watch out I tell ya that[00:00:17]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:00:20]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:00:21]
Because a lot of people out here say[00:00:23]
I love my car or I love my chain or or[00:00:24]
I'm just in love with that girl over there[00:00:29]
So far all the people out there[00:00:32]
That fall in love with material items[00:00:34]
We gonna bump the beat[00:00:36]
A lil' something like this[00:00:37]
I'm in junior high with a B plus grade[00:00:39]
At the end of the day I don't hit the arcade[00:00:43]
I walk from school to my mom's apartment[00:00:45]
I gotta tell the suckers everyday "Don't start it"[00:00:48]
'Cause where I'm at if your soft your lost[00:00:50]
To say on course means to roll with force[00:00:53]
A boy named Rob is chillin' in a Benz[00:00:55]
In front of my building with the rest of his friends[00:00:58]
I give him a pound oh I mean I shake his hand[00:01:00]
He's the neighborhood drug dealer my man[00:01:03]
I go upstair and hug my mother[00:01:05]
Kiss my sister and punch my brother[00:01:08]
I sit down on my bed to watch some TV[00:01:10]
Do my ears deceive me [00:01:14]
Nope that's the fourth time this week[00:01:15]
Another fast brother shot dead in the street[00:01:18]
The very next day while I'm off to class[00:01:21]
My mom goes to work cold busting her ass[00:01:23]
My sisters cute but she got no gear[00:01:25]
I got three pairs of pants and with my brother I share[00:01:28]
See there in school see I'm made a fool[00:01:31]
With one and a half pair of pant you ain't cool[00:01:33]
But there's no dollars for nothing else[00:01:36]
I got beans rice and bread on my shelf[00:01:38]
Every day I see my mother struggling[00:01:41]
Now it's time I've got to do somethin'[00:01:43]
I look for work I get dissed like a jerk[00:01:46]
I do odd jobs and come home like a slob[00:01:48]
So here comes Rob he's cold and shivery[00:01:51]
He gives me two hundred for a quick delivery[00:01:53]
I do it once I do it twice[00:01:55]
Now there's steak with the beans and rice[00:01:58]
My mother's nervous but she knows the deal[00:02:01]
My sister's gear now has sex appeal[00:02:03]
My brother's my partner and we're getting paper[00:02:06]
Three months later we run our own caper[00:02:08]
My family's happy everything is new[00:02:11]
Now tell me what the f**k am I supposed to do [00:02:13]
That's why[00:02:20]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:02:21]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:02:23]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:02:24]
You fall in love with your chain[00:02:25]
You fall in love with your car[00:02:27]
Love's gonna sneak right up and snuff you from behind[00:02:29]
So I want you to check the story out as we go down the line[00:02:33]
Money's flowing everything is fine[00:02:42]
Got myself an Uzi and my brother a nine[00:02:44]
Business is boomin' everything is cool[00:02:46]
I pull about a G a week f**k school[00:02:49]
A year goes by and I begin to grow[00:02:51]
Not in height but juice and cash flow[00:02:54]
I pick up my feet and begin to watch TV[00:02:56]
'Cause now I got other people working for me[00:02:59]
I got a 55 inch television you know[00:03:01]
And every once in awhile I hear 'Just say no'[00:03:04]
Or the other commercial I love[00:03:07]
Is when they say this is your brain on drugs[00:03:09]
I pick up my remote control and just turn[00:03:12]
'Cause with that bullshit I'm not concerned[00:03:14]
See me and my brother jump in the BM[00:03:17]
Driving around our territory again[00:03:19]
I stop at the light like a superstar[00:03:22]
And automatic weapons cold sprayed my car[00:03:24]
I hit the accelerator scared as shit[00:03:27]
And drove one block to find my brother was hit[00:03:29]
He wasn't dead but the blood was pouring[00:03:32]
And all I could think about was war and[00:03:34]
Later I found that it was Rob and his crew[00:03:37]
Now tell me what the f**k am I supposed to do [00:03:39]
You know that's why[00:03:51]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:03:52]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:03:54]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:03:55]
That word love is very very serious[00:04:04]
Very addictive my brothers out of it[00:04:09]
But I'm still in it[00:04:14]
On top of that I'm in it to win it[00:04:15]
I can't believe that Rob would diss me[00:04:17]
That faggot that punk he's soft a sissy[00:04:20]
I'm driving around now with three of my guys[00:04:22]
The war is on and I'm on the rise[00:04:25]
We rolled right up to his favorite hang out[00:04:27]
Said "Hello" and then the bullets rang out[00:04:30]
Some fired back so we took cover[00:04:32]
And all I could think about was my brother[00:04:35]
Rob jumped up and began to run[00:04:37]
Busting shots hoping to hit someone[00:04:40]
So I just stopped and let off three shots[00:04:42]
Two hit him and one hit a cop[00:04:45]
I threw the gun down and began to shout[00:04:48]
"Come on I got him it's time to break out"[00:04:50]
But as we ran there were the boys in blue[00:04:53]
Pointing their guns at my four man crew[00:04:55]
They shot down one they shot down two[00:04:58]
Now tell me what the f**k am I supposed to do [00:05:00]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:05:03]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:05:04]
(Love's gonna get you)[00:05:05]
You know a lot of people believe[00:05:22]
That that word love is real soft[00:05:25]
But when you use it in your vocabulary[00:05:27]
Like your addicted to it it sneaks right up[00:05:29]
And takes you right out[00:05:32]
So for future reference remember[00:05:38]
It's alright to like or want a material item[00:05:41]
But when you fall in love with it[00:05:44]
And you start scheming and carryin' on for it[00:05:46]
Just remember it's gonna get'cha[00:05:49]
