| If you wanna be somebody, you can’t mess around
|
| If you want to be somebody, you can’t mess around
|
| I want y’all to listen what I sang in this song
|
| Listen to the voice of experience
|
| I wouldn’t tell you nothin' wrong
|
| If you met a to-ho, you better hold on if you can
|
| But if you lose that to-ho, back up and try it again
|
| You got to get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| Got to get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| If you wanna be somebody, tell you what you gotta do
|
| You got to go to it, 'cause to it ain’t comin' to you
|
| You got to get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| Get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| So, now
|
| George Washington Carver, he got in a rut
|
| But he came up with a whole lot of things
|
| From a plant called a peanut
|
| And there was a Martin Luther
|
| Who didn’t give up the fight
|
| He’s the one that started that song
|
| The road to civil right
|
| You got to get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| Got to get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| You can’t just sit back
|
| You got to get on up
|
| You can’t just sit down, no
|
| You got to git on up
|
| Get on up and move
|
| Get on up and move
|
| Get on up and move
|
| Get on up and move
|
| Hangin' out on the corner, can cause some tears
|
| You’ve had more trouble in five minutes
|
| Than you can get out in twenty years
|
| You got to get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| Get on up and do it
|
| That’s all it is to it
|
| Get on up, and do it
|
| Get on up, get on up and do it |
