Get Wit It
Vanilla Ice
Vanilla Ice's Anthem of Confidence and Success
Vanilla Ice's song "Get Wit It" is a bold declaration of self-confidence, success, and dominance in the hip-hop world. The lyrics are filled with braggadocio, a common theme in rap music, where the artist asserts his superiority over other MCs. Vanilla Ice describes his impact on the crowd and his ability to outshine his competition effortlessly. The imagery of shaking and baking, and making big gees (money), paints a picture of someone who is not only talented but also financially successful. The line about using a rival's record as a frisbee and then being kissed by their girl is a vivid metaphor for his disdain for lesser talents and his irresistible charm.
The chorus, "Gotta get it going' on, Get wit' it, Bust that beat," serves as a rallying cry for listeners to join in the energy and momentum that Vanilla Ice brings. He emphasizes his blessed status and his ability to pass any test, claiming that every line in his rhyme sets him apart from the rest. The references to living high on the hog, champagne, and caviar, and riding in limos like a superstar, further illustrate his vision of success and the luxurious lifestyle that comes with it. The mention of money pouring in like a faucet left on and his rhymes lasting long like a coppertop battery underscores his enduring appeal and financial acumen.
In the final verse, Vanilla Ice shifts focus to his romantic life, expressing confidence in his ability to attract women but also showing a more personal side by highlighting a special relationship. He acknowledges the presence of other women but makes it clear that the one he wants has finally come around. This verse adds a layer of depth to the song, showing that behind the bravado, there is also a desire for genuine connection. The recurring theme of a "Non Stop Jam" ties the song together, reinforcing the idea that Vanilla Ice is the ultimate entertainer, ready to deliver an unending stream of high-energy performances.
