| Well I was born one morning in the month of May
|
| Where the sun don’t shine and the good don’t stray
|
| Yeah there was blood on the streets every single day
|
| Alright
|
| Because the crime comes cheap when the bills don’t pay uh
|
| Ha, let me tell you
|
| Well I grew up quick and I grew up mean
|
| Yeah my beats got hard and my wits got keen
|
| I met a man on the corner where the blind men see
|
| And these are the words that he said to me now
|
| He said you got to get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| You got to get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| Oh tell 'em
|
| (I don’t need salvation brother, I got time on my side)
|
| Get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| (I don’t need salvation brother, I got time on my side)
|
| Get up on your feet, get up now
|
| Well Lord I know that I been bad
|
| But I done my best with the luck I had, yeah
|
| And if I learned one thing I realised
|
| That in this life you got to put up a fight, yeah
|
| You got to get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| You got to get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| (I don’t need salvation brother, I got time on my side)
|
| Get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| (I don’t need salvation brother, I got time on my side)
|
| Get up on your feet, get up now
|
| Yeah, you got to get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| You got to get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| (I don’t need salvation brother, I got time on my side)
|
| Get up on your feet to get what you need
|
| (I don’t need salvation brother, I got time on my side)
|
| Get up on your feet to get what you need |
