Get at Me Lyrics


Now I got to cut ya
Yeah, that's right
'Cause it's like this
Yeah, it's gotta be like this
NiggaIt used to be a CPT thang but now it's just an all me thang
Because I'm tired of this gizame, I'm through playin' for a crew
That ain't got my back when I'm the one who done created the sack
'Mister You Know Who' remember me? I met you when I was P.P.C.
And you hadn't nothin' but a scrub, wearin' plaid pants and bubble gums
And beggin' for grub and then when ya hips start growin'
You tripped and flipped and skipped out, know what I'm talkin' 'bout?Not even thinkin' 'bout the times when Kay Kay took yo' ass in
'Cause you didn't have a dime
Nigga couldn't even say thanks for the trouble
I would've spanked yo' ass on the double
'Cause when ya didn't have a place to stay
You little round the way girl, my nigga took yo' way
And that way all my homies had yo' back
Because together they knew we had a fat ass sack

But you couldn't stand the guns, couldn't wait to take yaBitch, better have my money and run
Kay Kay should've knew the motto of life
That ya can't turn a hoe into a housewife
Because you left a lot of people unhappy, nigga
You in debt and ya need to get at meI'm gonna let ya know it
(That's right)
I'm gonna let ya know it
(So ya need to get at me)
I'm gonna let ya know it
I'm gonna let ya know it
(You need to get at me)Now I can name a gang of niggas I done tripped with
Spent a grip with and they ain't spent shit
And they ain't never brought nothing to the table
But it ain't no puzzle, I'm able
But why you wanna take my kindness for weakness
To get my money back, I gotta ride yo' ass like Preakness
It ain't that fly and when ya see me in traffic just ride byYou should've been a pigeon 'cause you duck so well
But next time I catch you, I'ma pluck yo' tail
'Cause niggas like y'all show disrespect
By flossin' so you in for a tossin', you need to go brush your teeth
And change ya drawers and change ya sheets
And stop y'alls bitches from steadily tryin' ta ride on my mink
And start bathing more than once a weekYou know who I'm talkin' 'bout, bitches
So ya needs to come right with a quickness
And instead of tryin' to duck and dodge
And be crafty, you need to get at meI'm gonna let ya know it
(Hell yeah)
I'm gonna let ya know it
(You need to get at me)
I'm gonna let ya know it
(That's right)
I'm gonna let ya know it
(You need to get at me)So tell me how we gon' handle this
Either we gon' be men or we gon' be scandalous
Either way is all right with me 'cause I'ma show ya that I meant it
When I said that I'm a G Nigga, I don't take ganks too swell
That's why I went and bought a gang of shells
And if you approach me wrong, I'ma clown first nigga run upDamn, I wish it didn't even have to come to this
'Cause now y'alls on my shit list right with the white boys in this game
Thinkin' they gone get the hits for some chump change
Please, I didn't believe that you'll trip like that
That's how a gang of niggas flipped like that
So get back fool 'cause I'm going out
Comin' out of a straight jacket blastin' and they gon' have to get at meI'm gonna let ya know it
(Hell yeah)
I'm gonna let ya know it
(You need to get at me)
I'm gonna let ya know it
(That's right)
I'm gonna let you know it
(You know what? Y'all can never get at me)

DJ Quik (born David Martin Blake on January 18, 1970) is a West Coast rapper and record producer from Compton, California. He was raised at 436 West Spruce Street in Compton, California. As a teen he took up an affiliation with the Tree Top Piru Bloods, hence why his name is spelled Quik with the C conspicuously missing. A lot of Bloods would let the name "Quick" (because CK stands for Crip Killer) but he chose "Quik" to represent the Red but at the same time in some form of respect for the other side . He grew up without a father and moved out of his mother's home when he was only 17. He lived in the house as the only male with 8 sisters. His home life was far from stable as he raps in a song that one of his sisters was selling drugs to one of his other sisters. He began selling homemade mixtapes (like "The Red Tape", 1987) after he received a turntable for his 9th grade graduation and then began doing shows DJing around Southern California when he moved out. He signed to Profile Records in the summer of 1990, reportedly as the label's first six figure signee. Not only could he rap and write his own songs, he could produce as well.

His debut album, "Quik Is The Name" was led by the success of two top 20 R&B singles, "Tonite" and "Born and Raised in Compton." "Tonite" even charted on the pop charts. The album ended up reaching 10th on the album charts. None of his successive albums reached the success of his debut, though they have been well received in California, particularly his 1998 release "Rhythm-Al-Ism." His most popular albums are Quik Is The Name and Safe + Sound. . On "Safe + Sound" appears "Dollaz And Sense," which was a diss track to Compton rapper and member of the rival Tragniew Park Crips MC Eiht. Though full of bravado at the time, Quik now admits to fearing for his life during the period.

Instead of joining the G-Funk movement during the 1990's, DJ Quik had his own style that a new version of P-Funk, inspired by artists like Roger Troutman (who even taught him the use of the talkbox, which became a trademark for Quik's sound in the 1990's) and George Clinton. Throughout his career, Quik has collaborated with and produced for artists including 2Pac ("Heartz of Men", "Words To My First Born", "Late Night"), Janet Jackson ("All For You"), Snoop Dogg (e.g. "Doin' Too Much", "Buss'n Rocks", "Don't Tell"), Talib Kweli ("Put It In The Air"), Whitney Houston ("Fine"), Kurupt ("Can't Go Wrong"), Jay-Z ("Justify My Thug"), Xzibit ("Sorry I'm Away So Much"), Ludacris ("Spur of the Moment"), Chingy ("Bagg Up", and "Wurr's My Cash"),Dr. Dre, 2nd II None, Hi-C, Suga Free ("Street Gospel" album and on the "New Testament" album), 8Ball & MJG ("Buck Bounce") and others. Though he formally produced only "Heartz of Men" on 2Pac's masterpiece "All Eyez On Me" album, he went uncredited for work on many other tracks on the album; on that track he used his real name David Blake, because Profile did not allow him to use his stage name. In 2002, he produced Truth Hurts' Top 10 pop hit "Addictive". Quik used an uncleared Hindi sample on the record, and the copyright holders eventually filed a $500 million dollar lawsuit against Truth Hurts' label, Aftermath Entertainment.

Quik faced personal and professional tragedy when his friend and protegé Mausberg was murdered on the 4th of July, 2000. This was compounded by the death of his best friend Daryl Reed soon after.

Following 2000's "Balance and Options" CD he was dropped by Arista Records which in 1998 had bought Profile Records. In September 2005, DJ Quik released his first independent album on his own new label, Mad Science, which was supposed to be distributed by Warner Bros but Quik was forced to let Time Warner and so signed his Mad Science with Fontana/Universal. The album is titled "Trauma" and reflects the turmoil in the producer's life over the past few years. He than released "Trauma: Instrumentals". In recent years he has worked with a 74 piece orchestra during a collaboration with Marcus Miller while working on the score to the movie "Head of State." Over the years, Quik has morphed from a hardcore gangsta rapper to a mainstream producer and rapper who is not afraid to change his style. He has not abandoned his West Coast roots and now produces very much his own unique style.
