Get Up Lyrics

Mmm...
La da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da

6 a.m. gettin' out of bed again
Can't get back in ‘cause sleep ain't gonna pay the rent
Day to day, I got you workin' like a slave
Takin' credit for the work you gave and stealin' your raise, well I

I know you're down, when you gon' get up
I see you down, when you gon' get up
I know you're down, when you gon' get up
I see you down, when you gon' get up

People try to pull the wool over your eyes
Don't know why you want to profit from your demise
They'd like to cover up and sweep it all inside
Oh, baby, baby, don't you cry for you got your prize, oh, I

I know you're down, when you gon' get up
I see you down, when you gon' get up
I know you're down, when you gon' get up
I see you down, when you gon' get up

La da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da da
A bom bom bom bom ba da da
Oh...oh...oh...I

I know you're down, when you gon' get up
I see you down, when you gon' get up
I know you're down, when you gon' get up
I see you down, when you gon' get up

I know, I know
I see you down, when you gon' get up
I know
I see, oh..., when you gon' get up

I know you're down, when you gonna
La da da da da da da da da da la la la la la la la la
La la la da da da
Doo doo doo doo doo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No...

I love this song!!! I listen to it whenever I have a hard time waking up in the morning. I used to have an alarm clock/cd player and this song used to wake me up in the morning for school. This is such a great song. I think it can be summed up in an Erykah Badu lyric: "Work ain't honest, but it pays the bills." Anyone can relate to this song and that's what I love about it :) Oh yeah, and her VOICE!! I am Amel Larriuex's #1 fan :)

She rocks and sizzles. What a goddess. I adore her artistry and wish she was more mainstream so peeps can get an ear of what really fabulous and creative vocals she does. All those other hack stupid female singing types couldn't even hold her bags let alone stand next to her.

What an amazing soul inside this woman.
