Git on Up and Do It

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 While I sing you this song Listen to the voice of experience I won't tell you nothing wrong If you get a toehold You better hold on if you can But if you lose that toehold Back up and try it again You got to get on up and do it That's all there is to it You got to get on up and do it That's all there is to it If you wanna be somebody Tell you what you gotta do You got to go to it 'Cause to it ain't coming to you You got to get on up and do it That's all there is to it Get on up and do it That's all there is to it So move up 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 us on The road to civil rights You got to get on up and do it That's all there is to it You got to get on up and do it That's all there is to it You can't just sit there You got to get on up You can't just sit there, no You got to get on up Get on up and move Get on up and move Get on up and move Get on up and move Hangin' out on the corner Can cause some tears You can find more trouble in five minutes Than you can get out in twenty years You got to get on up and do it That's all there is to it Get on up and do it That's all there is to it Get on up and do it Get on up Get on up and do it Get on up and do it
