Git On Up And Do It |
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 |
