Lyrics

[Intro] Mmm, yes sir, yes sir boss Mmm, no sir, no sir boss Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm! [Verse 1] You can be a slave from the crib to the grave And the man will love you You can be a slave from the crib to the grave And the man will let you, mmm You can get into pollution, and forget revolution And you'll dig it Answer me this, brother Answer me this, sister Where you think you goin'? Get up a choose, you might as well stand up What you got to lose? [Hook] A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway [Chorus] You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Go out (Get it, get it, get it, gеt it, get it) You oughta (Get it, get it, gеt it, get it, get it) You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm (Go on and get it) [Hook] A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway [Verse 2] The filling pudding just be that way Instead of sniffin', you better listen to what I say 'Cause one thing's certain I can find a curtain Ain't nothin' gonna stand in the grim reaper's way [Hook] A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway [Chorus] You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) You oughta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Go out (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Lord (Go on and get it) [Hook] A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway [Bridge] Mmm, mmm (Get it in your mind, lay it on the line) Mmm (Lay it on the line) Ooh! (Lay it on the line) [Verse 3] You spend your life tryin' to hustle car fare Cold piece of your welfare if you wanna Yeah, the man's gonna try to get through the piece But you hang on there, snatch your beef Hear me, hear me [Hook] A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway [Chorus] Mmm You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Go out (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) You oughta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) You gotta (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Hey, oh lordy (Go on and get it) [Hook] A birth certificate ain't nothin' but a death warrant anyway [Bridge] (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm, play! (Go on and get it) Ooh, ooh, ooh [Outro] (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it) Mmm hmm (Get it, get it, get it, get it, get it, get it)
