I Can't Get It Myself — Aceyalone Lyrics

Soundtrack: Invincible (TV Series)

I Can't Get It Myself Song Lyrics

[Intro]
They say, they say “can I get that for you?” I say “no… I got it”
Yea

Now do you need me, need me, need me here?
I can get it myself, I can get it myself
I can get it myself, I can get it myself

[Verse 1]
I jumped out the boom in a delivery room
Landed on planet, they handed me a silver spoon
I gave it back to em, I told em don’t assoom
I can, I can, I can get it myself
In class a teacher ask
If I wanted to pass I’d come out last
I didn’t wanted the grass but I just flashed
Told er I can, I can, I can get it myself
The reverend and the priest
Both tried to get my sins released
Tried to give me the blessings to kill the beast
I told em I can, I can, I can, I can get it myself
Try to put dirty money in my hand
Well goddamn, I’mma show you exactly where I stand
What? You think I do whatever but no mam
I can, I can, I can

[Hook]
I don’t need you you you you you you you you you you you
I can get it myself, I can get it myself
I can get it myself, I can get it myself
I don’t need you you you you you you you you you you you
I can get it myself, I can get it myself
I can get it myself, I can get it myself

[Verse 2]
Yea, my girl don’t take no mess
She love to get undressed and throw it to the west
I say that’s fresh and I’m so impressed
But I can, I can, I can get it myself
I don’t beg ball skill
But I will take the high road over the hills
Like that’s how I do it, baby
That’s how I feel
I can, I can, I can get it myself
I don’t buy dreams, got it but hoes sell
Hotel, motel, settle a 4 tail
Nobel, oh well, never a cotel
I can, I can, I can get it myself
Arriving at the pearly gates, God don’t know if I’m early or late
He said let me check, 1000 just wait
Told Him I can, I can…
I can get it myself, I can get it myself
I can get it myself, I can get it myself
I can get it myself, I can get it myself
I can get it myself, I can get it myself

[Hook]

Song Facts:

Genre: Hip Hop/Rap

Featured on: Invincible (TV Series) Soundtrack

Lyricist: Aceyalone

Annotations and Meaning:

"I Can't Get It Myself" by Aceyalone is a powerful holler that emblazons independence, the ability to be self-providing, and defiance of everything—if not at least society's expectations. In a series of bright narratives and bold statements, Aceyalone pens a song to show value in the independence and powerful force of one's own spirit.
The song's introduction almost bluntly declares self-reliance: refusal when offered, pointing up the theme for most of the track. The recurrent chorus suggests that the speaker does not require the help of others; he can stand on his feet, capable to run his affairs and needs.

The speaker takes us through his journey from birth. He even, as a baby, rejects what had been there for him by society ("I jumped out the boom in a delivery room"), rejects even as a baby from what has been there for him by society ("They handed me a silver spoon"). This recurrent motif of refusal of some foreordained way of societal norms points to a distinct spirit of wanting to determine their line, not needing crutches or short paths.

Aceyalone touches on the other two things: academic and moral guidance. Both are turned down, just as one would turn down the offer of a teacher, in easing the path to success, against the religious figures trying to offer spiritual salvation. This indicates a much more general sort of skepticism towards institutional and social structures that would shape conduct at the individual level, hinting at some form of sense of personal agency and moral independence.

Another very important theme is that of financial independence, where the rejection of "dirty money" symbolizes a rejection of bribes and therefore shows that integrity and dignity are much more valuable issues in life than the money earned.

At every sense, even while being close and in love, the character insists on independence ("my girl don't take no mess. But I can, I can, I can get it myself"). This goes further in the pursuit of dreams and ambitions, not giving in to shortcuts or an easy way, but rather focusing on hard work and individual accomplishment.

Finally, the song culminates with a hypothetical conversation at the "pearly gates," meaning that even on such huge existential issues, there is some reconciliation—albeit in this case with the speaker having to assert his independence, drumming home the message of being self-reliant unto the end.
