Git On Up and Do It

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Get on up and move
Get on up and move
Get on up and move
Get on up and move

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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
