Getting Married Songtext
von Nas

"Picture us married, you and me," what?
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
"I remember the first time, girl you and me"

This ain′t no sucka-for-love shit
This ain't no Huxtable-kisses-and-hug shit
First-night-we-fuck shit, and don′t call the next day
This a thug's wedding day, in love
Will we make it? Let us pray

In a limo, my niggas, my father, my brothers
Everybody in tuxes gettin' blunted
Hard bottles, mob costumes this ain′t no act though
Factual, the pimp shall scoop no more
Yes, I′m absolutely sure

I know that she love me, I know that she faithful
We spoke on a prenuptial agreement 'cause Will and Jada ain′t need it
Spoke on eloping but then I dreaded the thought
'Cause she deserves Cinderella′s Ball and the whole shit


But know this, you fuckin' wit′ a slit ya throat quick
Vehicular explosions, cigar smokin'
Dark-minded, chart climbin', well-spoken
Say farewell to broke men or rich ones
Throw them phone numbers away ′cause this is it, hun

Headed to the Chapel, my niggas laughin′
And it's bafflin′ 'cause just a year ago
It′s weird, though, I knew I'd get married
To who? I knew not, thought of snatchin′ Halle up from the dreadlock
Pumpin' Sade, my head knot

Finally, I met the perfect bitch, pardon my French, rephrase that
Someone who made my heart stop, couldn't wait to blaze that
Tired of hoppin′ from honey to honey
HIV spreadin′, everybody bump the same bunnies

The game'll put niggas in they graves
Right before they part ways with the street
I want a son to greet every mornin′
Daughters and more sons tickle my feet
Wife smilin', tellin′ me it's time to eat, I′m gettin' married


Uh, uh, uh, uh
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigalo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigalo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigalo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want

It was my dream for my queen to put the ring on the ride
Even Martin Luther King had a fling on the side
That's what the negative ones say
Knew my wedding would be one day but quickly is this day

I know the hoes gonna miss me
Lookin′ at old photos, saying, "Damn, he used to twist me"
Start chokin′ up since I woke up
Bachelor party was crazy, tryin' hard just to sober up

Father, saw me in a daze, nudged me with his left arm
Told me how him and moms went to City Hall, dressed norm′
Said, she would love in me Oswald Boateng
Customized in London by guys who suit up kings

Gov, you got the ring, Jung, you behave
Maxwell, he gon' sing, invited Lauryn Hill and the gang
Baltimore, North Cacky, Mississippi
Family packed in, my nigga, L is crazy tipsy

Spilled Pepsi on the cuff links, ginger ale got it out
Walked in the church, chest all big to thug it out
My girl walked in glistenin′, different stones
'Bout to go from my fiancé to Mrs. Jones

That′s a union that nobody can touch
I gotta be cool wit' ya crazy aunts and uncles
'Cause I love you much ′cause you put up with my shit
Court cases, baby mamas

I make a honest woman outta you yet
Everybody starin′ at you, I'm at the altar, standin′
Heart poundin' out my chest like a cannon
I′m happy, one of my groom's men
Under the music says, "Don′t do it"

But they just joke, some crew shit
They playing, I'm gleeful, I'm stayin′
I′m stayin' vows, all true
"Will you take music as your wedded wife?" "I do"
Sike, this ain′t about music, y'all know who I′m talkin' to
I′m getting married

Uh, uh, uh, uh (yeah, yeah)
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigalo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigalo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want
Say hello to the man, goodbye to the gigalo
It was difficult for me to find a chick I want

I'm getting married
