| Put it up if you feeling the vibe,
|
| Put it up whether day or night,
|
| Put it up if you loving your life,
|
| Whether a fist or peace sign,
|
| Put it up, Put it up
|
| The rat race make you feel like you running in place,
|
| You take haste make you feel like it’s all a mistake,
|
| So you vacate, when you should really be them planting roots,
|
| Seeds looking for you, like trying grow without food,
|
| Be a father to your son, because you only get one chance,
|
| Eyes on the prize, cause our future is they hands,
|
| Need to man up, give these queens some assistance,
|
| Act a King, and spend a minute with your kinfolk,
|
| Ain’t all about paper, it’s more about time
|
| Spend a little, so you really know what’s on they mind,
|
| Conversation like education, give them a voice,
|
| Lethem know right from wrong, so our people have a choice,
|
| One hand washes the other; |
| both wash the face,
|
| Teach them to be a prince, don’t condemn to last place,
|
| Mind terrible waste, but a little is hope useful,
|
| World will never change, if we don’t help the youth grow…
|
| Put it up if you feeling the vibe,
|
| Put it up whether day or night,
|
| Put it up if you loving your life,
|
| Whether a fist or peace sign,
|
| Put it up, Put it up
|
| Now it can be tough be one on one,
|
| But if you committed, then make them feel it,
|
| Sometimes love is best when they hear it,
|
| And I ain’t telling you how to run your house,
|
| But if you live with her then you might want to take her out,
|
| The grass will always seem greener,
|
| Bright lights, skin tights, is cool for club peoples,
|
| And it’s even cool to kick it in,
|
| But after the fun, who’s the one that’s always listening,
|
| Who probably got you them clothes that you strutting in,
|
| Who going be rubbing on your face when you stumble in,
|
| Who is down is from the jump, the middle, the end,
|
| If it’s all the same person, that’s the one to worry about then,
|
| Before they let you go, you better Lethem know,
|
| Cook a meal, run her bath, just let it show,
|
| Who really mean the most, who really is the one?
|
| Cause if you don’t, somebody will get it done…
|
| Put it up if you feeling the vibe,
|
| Put it up whether day or night,
|
| Put it up if you loving your life,
|
| Whether a fist or peace sign,
|
| Put it up, Put it up |
