The Get Up ft. Lani Billard

Get Up!

And give it everything that you got.

Don’t let anybody tell you that you’re something your not.

Don’t let the haters get to ya, nah praise to the Buddha. Then boot these fuckers till they take it, to the face through computers.

 

Now nobody can ever tell you that you’re stupid cmon, I been told that a lot before but still I’m doing it strong.

I’m doing my own and using what I knew in a song, to do the best that I can and still I’m provin ‘em wrong.

 

I’m pursuing my dream, and completing my goals, & aint a single person stopping me cuz fuck what you’re told.

You gotta move about your wits so you aint stuck in a hole, so I’m living everyday a youngen because fuck getting old.

 

HOOK (Lani Billard)

They will doubt you.

They will leave you.

They’ll put on pressure so you never get up.

So, slow.

 

They will doubt you.

Till they need you.

So just remember you should never give up.

No, No.

 

If you fall don’t stop.

Learn to crawl then walk.

If you’re put down, get up, no never give up & now give it everything you’ve got.

 

Verse 2:

Listen to what I’m telling you, you’ll never be alone.

No matter if you’re without one you’ll always have a home.

With music where you could choose to abuse it and act foolish

Or lose it to rap music to get back in the zone.

 

Whether you fall or you don’t, just live it all this for fun

To be the father of hope and have the modest o sons.

With One dream, one goal, one life; all in for one.

Where the people that you love aint gon die by the gun.

 

It’s all but begun, the way that I wanna be living. Where all the people in my neighbourhood are not in a prison.

Acting smarter never harder then they gotta be, listen. I’m tryna change the way we act, and so we gotta be driven.

 

Religion can divide us.

Similar to I, was blinded by the people telling me this is behind us.

But it’s not and no nothing we do can bring. Us people together close, like the music so we sing…

 

HOOK

 

Verse 3:

I don’t believe in a god, but I believe in my fans. Where no matter what I believe in they’ll still be in the stands.

I’ll be eager to even greet em with CD’s in advance. To show them the love they’ve given me when I had needed the chance: Fam.

 

But if you’re at wits end, you gotta be thick friend. You gotta be strong, gotta be tough, gotta be Ip Man.

You gotta gather up your strength, take a leap of faith. Shake it off and then open up that wingspan!

 

Trust, you will fly soar high and become. The new Icarus of rap, you will ride to the sun.

But you won’t get burnt. Because you can’t get hurt.

You been hurt too much before so you’ll find that you’re numb to it.

 

The dumbest shit you’re done with it, enough of it; FINISHED. Now start this journey on your own, yeah get up and go get it.

And remember what all of this is about. That’s shutting everybody out, and shutting their mouths!

 

And doubts crush ‘em, without cussing, tell the world that you’re here and you’re ‘bout something.

But nah fuck ‘em, I’m bout cussing. So fuck the world in the ear till they hear & they doubt nothing.

 

Don’t trust ‘em, not a one o them bitches. They’ll all say you aint shit till you one of them bitches.

That’s got a hundred o bitches, and they got none o the bitches.

And so they’ll say you were the shit and they got love for you: bitches.

 

Outro:

So don’t let the world get you down, because people can hurt you, people can love you, people can be your enemies, your friends, your family, but who they can’t be is you.

It’s all about who you become after the storm.

And you’re what separates success from failure, nobody else.

So get up!
