Professionalism Lyrics

Get up; yes I’m on my way
Gunna make sure I’m on time today
Make my way on the bullet train
And I don’t stop for nobody
Yeah

Get up; yes I’m on my way
Gunna make sure I’m on time today
Make my way on the bullet train
I don’t stop for nobody
Yeah, we live in the jet age

Come on, get out of the way
I don’t need this, I’m not on time
I’m gunna be late
My kids are supposed to be at school now

Get up; yes I’m on my way
Gunna make sure I’m on time today
Make my way on the bullet train
And I don’t stop for nobody
Yeah

Get up; yes I’m on my way
Gunna make sure I’m on time today
Make my way on the bullet train
And I don’t stop for nobody
Yeah, we live in the jet age

Some people
Wasting my time

Come on, get out of the way
I need to get to work
Please
You’re selfish, you’re selfish

All the people, all the people
All the people, all the people
All the people see me and cheer
All the people see me and cheer
All the people see me and cheer
All the people see me and cheer
All the people see me and cheer
All the people see me and cheer
All the people see me and cheer
All the people see me and cheer

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
