about

GET RIGHT! is about finding your swag, securing the bag, and eating well. It’s a party vibe with an old school funk energy reminding you to get up, get down and get right. The goal is to dance and shake off whatever is holding you back from your best and baddest self. Sauce is what you put on food to give it flavour. This tune is the sauce.

lyrics

If it feel right – jump on it. If it ain’t right – we don’t want it
If it ain’t right we don’t get your money
Me and the dollars like matrimony. You and the money y’all is a phoney
You and the money ya’ll need a lawyer. Nah, we ain’t getting divorced
Cause we came with the dollars and poured the sauce
Put the rum, sugar cane, curry goat on the brain
If it feel right – jump on it. If it ain’t right – we don’t want it
If it ain’t right we don’t get your money

Uptown girl don’t play with me, cause I’m a downtown boy girl can’t you see
For real, you know the deal
We can lock into your fantasy and turn that into reality
For true, you know how we do

Fee, fi, fo, fum. Dance floor with your electric bum
Don’t hold back girl beat the drum. Don’t hold back, can’t stop the sun
World speeds up, we on the run. Ice cold fits, sip with the rum
Life is a bullet and you’re the gun. Baby pull up, I think you’re the one
You an uptown chick, you read them pages. Wrote the book, called it outrageous
I’m a saga boy, I love them stages. Put me in a box? I don’t love cages
Me, you and the dough that’s matrimony. Be my, be my, tenderoni
Darling you got to know, we have got to go, all the way, yeah
If it feel right – jump on it. If it ain’t right – we don’t want it

Hey, homeslice, I hear you funkdafied, making money and you doing it right
Hey, my my, I hear you funkdafied, getting money and your keeping it tight

He combines hip- hop swagger, Afrobeat energy and dancehall charisma to create a sound built on big catchy hooks.
