[Chorus]

I gotta get wet, get some respect

I’m making cheddar yea but I’m risking my neck

I gotta get wet, get some respect

I’m making cheddar yea, but I’m risking my neck

[Verse 1]

The sprinkler system got all my homies wet

Minority traps sprung, some of you won’t forget

Being locked down for the crime commit

They say all dope charges guaranteed to stick

Conspiracy seems to catch all my dogs

Just like dominos all seem to fall

Tougher on crime more time they want

Big moneys in the prison no time to front

They never built the prisons to be empty

Wasn’t made by none of us, but it was made for me

Chance taker from the hood that don’t want to be broke

The one the police look at under the microscope

Ain’t doing nothing wrong, they don’t understand

Just playing the game that was given by the man

Didn’t ask for the dope to raise up around here

But for sho can get dope easier than beer

[Chorus]

Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet

Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget

Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set

I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet

Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget

Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set

I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

[Verse 2]

Ten of thousands died over thirty years ago

In Vietnam on they own they would never go

You die for fools that you never even seen before

Protect the south from the north

It’s the reason for war, soldiers locked up

But don’t just let him out

POWS of war is what I’m talking about

In my hood they got Vietnam in full effect

Soldiers running through the streets wearing

Bullet proof vest, spending hell of cash

To keep me from being free

Making money on off my ass for containing me

Locking me up for years for having a gun

I wasn’t worried about my life; I wasn’t having it son

Hot on my block and hell a worried too

Cops feel the same way, cause its them or you

Cause Twenty-Five years is too long to make her wait

My girl gone find another if I go up state

[Chorus]

Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet

Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget

Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set

I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet

Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget

Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set

I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

[Verse 3]

Fools don’t see crack as an epidemic

Why don’t you govern that, with your government?

I call it yours cause it can’t be mine

To many things I think is wrong, you will never find

Cocaine is the foundation of every bad hood

Cops die for nothing without doing no good

Soldiers going blind never seen the light

If you see dope daily how could it not be right

If you get your job right in the government

And keep a tight record on the money you spent

Raking out millions just to tour with me

Cause I keep worked myself up to a whole key

Fly back over to the private fields

Where nobody is concerned with the cocaine deals

Then you would know for sure if you stopped it there

I wouldn’t be serving on this block

Pushing it playa

[Chorus]

Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet

Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget

Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set

I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet

Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget

Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set

I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

I gotta, I gotta, I gotta get wet

I gotta, I gotta, get some respect

I gotta, I gotta, make this cheddar yea

I’m risking my, risking my, risking my neck

I gotta get wet, get some respect

I’m making cheddar yea but I’m risking my neck

I gotta get wet, get some respect

I’m making cheddar yea, but I’m risking my neck
