chorus:
|
Nigga, you need to git up, git out and git somethin
|
Don't let the days of your life pass by
|
You need to git up, git out and git somethin
|
Don't spend all your time tryin to get high
|
You need git up, git out and git somethin
|
How will you make it if you never even try
|
You need to git up, git out and git somethin
|
Cuz you and I got to do for you and I
|
|
[Cee-Lo]
|
I don't recall, ever graduatin at all
|
Sometimes I feel I'm just a disappointment to y'all
|
Every day, I just lay around then I can't be found
|
Always asked to give me some livin life like a bum
|
Times is rough, my auntie got enough problems of her own
|
Nigga, you supposed to be grown
|
I agree, I try to be the man I'm 'posed to be
|
But negativity is all you seem to ever see
|
I admit, I've done some dumb shit
|
And I'm probably gon do some mo'
|
You shouldn't hold that against me though (Why not?)
|
Why not? My music's all that I got
|
But some time must be ingested for this to be manifested
|
I know you know but I'm gon say this to you I...
|
Get high but I don't get too high
|
So what's the limit 'posed to be?
|
That must be why you can't get your ass up out the bed before three
|
You need to git up, git out, cut that bullshit out
|
Ain't you sick and tired of having to do without
|
And what up with all these questions?
|
As act as though you know somethin I don't. Do you have any suggestions?
|
Cuz every job I get is cruel and demeanin
|
Sick of takin trash out and toilet bowl cleanin
|
But I'm also sick and tired of strugglin
|
I never ever thought I'd have resort to drug smugglin
|
Naw, that ain't what I'm about
|
Cee-lo will just continue travelin this route
|
Without any doubt or fear
|
I know the Lord ain't brought me this far so he could drop me off here
|
Did I make myself clear?
|
|
chorus:
|
|
[Big Boi]
|
Well, uh, git up, stand up. So what's said, you dickhead
|
See when I was a youngsta, used to wear them fuckin Pro Keds
|
My mama made me do it, but the devil, he made me smart
|
Told me to jack them weak ass niggaz for they fuckin Starters
|
In the middle school, I was a bigger fool
|
I wore with tank tops to show off my tattoo, thought I was cool
|
I used to hang out with my daddy's brothers, I call them my uncles
|
They taught me how to smoke herb, I followed them when they ran numbers
|
So in a sense I was Rosemary's baby
|
And then, I learned the difference between a bitch and a lady
|
Hell, I treat 'em all like hoes, see I pimped 'em
|
Bitch never had my money, so I never whipped 'em
|
See all the playas came and all the playas went
|
A playa ain't a gangsta but a playa can handle his shit bitch
|
You need to git up, git out, git somethin
|
Smoke out, cuz it's all about money, money, money
|
Yeah I said it, a nigga sportin plats and a Braves hat
|
I hang with Rico Wade cuz the Dungeon is where the funk's at, boy
|
I'm true to Organized, cuz they raised me
|
I'm also down with LaFace cuz L.A. Reid, yeah, he pays me
|
And it's cool
|
Yeah, it's real cool, gettin paid fat pockets
|
and all that other fat shit like that, ha-ha
|
|
chorus:
|
|
[Big Gipp]
|
Alot of people in my past tried to do me, screw me
|
Throw me over in the fire, let me get chunky and charred
|
Like a piece of wood and dem spirits got the mutant's mind
|
I'm gettin paranoid and steady lookin for the time
|
It's eight in the mornin and ain't nobody up yet
|
I got my long johns, get my coat and throw on my ball cap
|
I'm headed out the door, to get off in my ride
|
I'm diggin through the ash tray, hopin to have a good day
|
I had Jamaica's best and when I light it up, I hear a voice in my head
|
(You got to git up, git out and git somethin)
|
Now I know it's on, my day is finally started
|
Back up in my crib, eat my shit, break out quick, in my slick
|
'84 Se-dan DeVille, steady bouncin,
|
out the Pointe to Cambelton Road
|
The valley of the Southside flow
|
Everybody know about that killa that we call blow, so
|
Keep your eyes peeled for the 'cover unit
|
Cause they known for jumpin out of black Chevy trucks and through the fog
|
Here come the Red Dogs, I'm bustin out around the corner in my hog
|
Dippin from the area, I'm scared
