Love's Gonna Get'cha Lyrics - Boogie Down Productions

BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS 

Ya know that's why man I be telling you all the time man, you know love, that word 'love,' is a very serious thing, and if you don't watch out I tell ya, that (Love's gonna get you) because a lot of people out here say "I love my car" or "I love my chain" or, or "I-I-I'm just in love with that girl over there" so, for all the people out there that fall in love with material items, we gonna bump the beat a little something like this 

I'm in junior high with a B-plus grade 

At the end of the day I don't hit the arcade 

I walk from school to my mom's apartment 

I got to tell the suckas everyday "Don't start it," 

Cause where I'm at, if you're soft, you're lost 

To stay on course means to roll with force 

My boy named Rob is chillin' in a Benz 

In front of my building with the rest of his friends 

I give him a pound, oh I mean I shake his hand 

He's the neighborhood drug dealer, my man 

I go upstairs and hug my mother 

Kiss my sister, and punch my brother 

I sit down on my bed to watch some tv 

(machine gun fire) Do my ears deceive me? 

Nope, that's the fourth time this week 

Another fast brother shot dead in the street 

The very next day while I'm off to class 

My moms goes to work cold busting her ass 

My sister's cute but she got no gear 

I got three pairs of pants that with my brother I share 

See there in school see I'm made a fool 

With one and a half pair of pants you ain't cool 

But there's no dollars for nothing else 

I got beans, rice, and bread on my shelf 

Every day I see my mother struggling 

Now its time I've got to do something 

I look for work I get dissed like a jerk 

I do odd jobs and come home like a slob 

So here comes Rob his gold is shimmery 

He gives me two hundred for a quick delivery 

I do it once. I do it twice 

Now there's steak with the beans and rice 

My mother's nervous but she knows the deal 

My sister's gear now has sex appeal 

My brothers my partner and we're getting paper 

Three months later we run our own caper 

My family's happy everything is new 

Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do?

That's why, (loves gonna get you) 

(loves gonna get you)(loves gonna get you)(loves gonna get you) 

You fall in love with your chain 

You fall in love with your car 

Love's gonna sneak right up and snuff you from behind 

So I want you to check the story out as we go down the line 

(loves gonna get you)(loves gonna get you)(loves gonna get you) 

Money's flowing, everything is fine 

Got myself an Uzi and my brother a nine 

Business is boomin' everything is cool 

I pull about a g a week--fuck school 

A year goes by and I begin to grow 

Not in height but juice and cash flow 

I pick up my feet and begin to watch tv 

Cause now I got other people working for me 

I got a 55-inch television you know 

And every once in a while I hear 'Just Say No,' 

Or the other commercial I love 

Is when they say 'this is your brain on drugs,' 

I pick up my remote control and just turn 

Cause with that bullshit I'm not concerned 

See me and my brother jump in theBM 

Driving around our territory again 

I stop at the light like a superstar 

And automatic weapons cold sprayed my car 

I hit the accelerator scared as shit 

And drove one block to find my brother was hit 

He wasn't dead but the blood was pouring 

And all I could think about was warring 

Later I found that it was Rob and his crew 

Now tell me, what the fuck am I supposed to do?

Ya know thats why, (love's gonna get you) 

(love's gonna get you) (love's gonna get you) (love love's gonna get you) 

(love's gonna get you) (love's gonna get you) (love's gonna get you) 

(love love's gonna get you) (love's gonna get you) 

That word love is very very serious (love's gonna get you) 

Very addictive 

My brothers out of it, but I'm still in it 

On top of that im in it to win it 

I can't believe that Rob would dis me 

That faggot, that punk, he's soft--a sissy! 

I'm driving around now with three of my guys 

The war is on, and I'm on the rise 

We rolled right up to his favorite hangout 

Said 'hello' and then the bullets rang out 

Some fired back so we took cover 

And all I could think about was my brother 

Rob jumped up and began to run 

Busting shots hoping to hit someone 

So I just stopped, and let off three shots 

Two hit him and one hit a cop 

I threw the gun down and began to shout 

'Come on, I got him, it's time to break out!' 

But as we ran, there were the boys in blue 

Pointing their guns at my four man crew 

They shot down one, they shot down two 

Now tell me what the fuck am I supposed to do? 

Ya know a lot of people believe that that word 'love' is real soft, but when you use it in your vocabulary like you're addicted to it, it sneaks right up and takes you right out 

So, for future reference remember: it's alright to like or want a material item, but when you fall in love with it and you start scheming and carrying on for it, just remember, it's gonna get'cha
