Danny - Get Up lyrics

[Joan Rivers] Listen... I wish I could tell you it gets better, but... It doesn't get better -- YOU get better You think it's been easy? I've gone up, I've gone down I've been bankrupt, I've been broke, but you do it And you do it because... because we love it more than anything else That's why you doin' it. You want a real job, honey? There are a million things you can do, but what we do is not a job It sounds so stupid... what we do... is a calling, my dear We make people happy. It's a calling {Amel Larrieux sample} Mmm, a-la da da.. Da da dum... Da-da-da, dum dum dum (One, two, three, four) [Hook: Amel Larrieux] I know you're down - when you gon' get up? I see you're down - When you gon' get up? I know you're down - When you gon' get up? I see you're down - When you gon' get up? [Danny!] (Wish that I could tell you it gets better) Man, it's kinda hard to stay positive Positivity only gets you but so far Shoot for the stars, you'll mess around get hit by a car That's just the cynicism seizin' me (me) How am I supposed to motivate When half these motherf**ers don't believe in me? (When you gon' get up?) [Amel Larrieux] Ooooooooh, oooh-oooh-oooooooooh Ooooooooh, oooh-oooh-oooooooooh [Danny!] How am I supposed to motivate When half these motherf**ers don't believe in me? Uh! [Hook] [Danny!] (Wish that I could tell you it gets better) You see I'm tryna work the system But I wanna make the system work for me We're all connected through our imperfections Octogenarians to Junior in the nursery Word, to say it's easy to be a leader's misleading (naw) We need some good examples from the time that we teethin To be the change that we wanna see That's why I never bother entertainin these wannabes I know my own worth and everyone should know their own Irresponsible youth'll cause a mayhem When they really need a confidence boost I wanna be the one they look up to, but every now and then I wake up in the morning, need some confidence too Uh, s**s but it's true Lil' n***a with big dreams, it s**s to be you [Hook and Amel Larrieux singing ad-libs 'til end] [Danny!] Aiyyo, turn off that backpack Kumbaya bullsh**, man Roll some f**in weed up
