The Gettin' Lyrics - Arrested Development

Aw 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 

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

Everybody snap your fingers like this 

Every single soul, c'mon 

Aw, 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
