The second track from Rollins Band’s 2001 release, “Nice”. It shares its name with a spoken word DVD he released around the same time. The song is essentially how Henry feels he’s up for any of the detritus the world has to offer. A typical Rollins sentiment.
This song has an added bonus of some so...
Time, Time, mine, mine
I take time
Thinking about the moves I'm gonna have to make
I take time
Thinking about the rules I'm gonna have to break
It's always push and shoving
Sometimes it comes to nothing
Sometimes it's more than a mere mortal man can take
I'm up for it [x4]
The day to day can become such a trip
The mediocre can make you lose your grip
It's all on you and what you've got
You can play it cool or make it hot
I pay the price and take my shot
Stay up for it (up for it)
I'm up for it (up for it) [x3]
I'm up for it (yeah!)
Burning out, wearing thin
Can't believe the shape you're in
There's always somebody
Who's gonna try and make it worse
There's always a line to stand in
As long as I'm still standing
You best believe I'm gonna make other plans
Stay up for it[x3]
Up for it, up for it
I am up for it, man!
Time, time
Stop wasting mine, mine
Don't stad there crying, crying
Just make up your mind [x2]
Stay up for it [x3]
Stay up for it, man!
I take time
Thinking about what I'm gonna have to do
What it takes, how it is
And when I'm gonna light the fuse
All this push and shoving
In the end all amounts to nothing
I'll never get a second chance looking me in the face
I'm up for it (up for it) [x2]
Stay up for it (up for it)
Stay up for it (yeah!)
The day to day can become such a grind
The mediocre can make you lose your mind
It's all on you and what you've got
You can play it cool or make it hot
I pay the price and take my shot
Stay up for it (up for it)
I'm up for it (up for it)
I'm up for it (yeah!)
Last or now in future shock
By the numbers, laugh and stop
There's always somebody
Who's gonna try and take your brain
As long as they're selling something
I'll be smelling something
I've seen them come and go so many times
I'm up for it
I stay up for it [x3]
Now, what else are you gonna do?
Thank you, LA! You've been great!
Great!
