Koçi Xoxe (pronounced [ˈkɔtʃi ˈdzɔdzɛ]; May 1, 1911 – June 11, 1949) was the Defence and Interior Minister of Albania for some time under Enver Hoxha.
Xoxe was born in 1911 in Negovan, near Florina in Greece, back then part of the Manastir Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. Negovan (today: Flampouro/Φλάμπουρο) had a majority Orthodox Albanian population of whom identified with the Greek orientated Patriarchist Orthodox church and a minority of Vlachs. According to some sources, Xoxe was an ethnic Macedonian or ethnic Bulgarian from Aegean Macedonia and was initially a tinsmith.
Around 1937 he emerged among others, such as Enver Hoxha and Koco Tashko as prominent leaders of Albanian communism. He was a rival of Hoxha, and the Yugoslavs supported him.
He was purged for "pro-Yugoslav activities" after Josip Broz Tito broke relations with Hoxha's ally, Joseph Stalin. After a secret trial in May 1949, Xoxe was executed. He allegedly admitted that he was working for the British intelligence and that he was a conspirator with Tito. Xoxe was executed by a firing squad in June 1949.
[Intro:]
Get em up, get em up, get em up, get em up- [x2]
Get em up, get em up-
[Verse 1:]
Get em up, put em up cause we back
I'm back in my city so it's back on the map
We be smokin out the club, gettin drunk in the Yac
Then it's back tothe block to make mo' money stack
And I'm always on my grind, there's no time to relax, I've been livin
For the moment since I grasped the fact
That ya gotta get ahead or you fallin behind in a trap, ain't to many
People that be climbin out that
So let me get this clear, crystal clear
When it come to the money foo you can disappear
So if you dare, touch somebody money
Well then ya gettin fucked up and this I swear
Cause shit round here, we be stuck in the Mitten, goin through hard
Times, why I say forget the beer
Give me a fifth in here, I'm bout to roll another spliff in here, and
Try to spit it to my bitch in here
And take em all to the head, then it's back to gettin bread, cause I'm
Sick and tired of livin on the edge
Ain't got time to waste, cause any time or place, you could be missin on
Ya step and fallin off the ledge
Baby yes, we've been gone for a minute but we back now, back in full effect
Like when ya pull a tek, and every time that's what you should expect
Cause it's Meticulous Records.
[Hook:]
I just gotta get this money, that's fa sho-
Ask anybody, tell ya I'm
Bout my doe-
I grind all the time, get it fast or slow-
Stuck in the struggle, this
Shit is all I know-
Gotta get this money, that's fa sho-
Ask anybody, tell ya I'm bout my doe-
I grind all the time, get it fast or slow-
Stuck in the struggle, this
Shit is all I know-
[Verse 2:]
Get em up, put em up, we rollin, bet that I be out till the mornin
Just roamin around and zonin
Plenty cash to clock, when I be duckin from the cops, every time I stop
My pockets growin, so we keep it coastin, until they be buldgin
So the end of the night, I'll be countin up my money and smokin
Sippin on potion
Just know it, that we never gonna quit, never will I, seize to try
Rather than that I would risk my life, just to rise, can I justify
Everything that a mothafucka be doin to get ahead sometimes and stay alive
Could you empathize, or you livin the life, these other cats
Glamorize, must be nice
All I know is I'm a keep bangin out these tracks and pushin to the max
No time to relax
Already got rid of every single rat, tryin to take my cheese, but man
What's up with that
Don't they know that that bring they epitaph, they get hit up on Telegraph
Cause I just gotta get this doe hoe and there ain't no steppin half.

[Bridge:]
I gotta get this money regardless of consequence
I intend to do good, but do bad, I'm on the fence
Can't tell ya how many times police dogs have been on my scent
But still I leave em shook and fucked up like Calodapins
Lord tell me, where do I go from here, would ya help me
I know this liquor and Hydro can't be healthy
But all of this stress from money, I guess just compels me
To drownin out the cards that you dealt me
Man I gotta
