Get Up Lyrics by Goldfinger

Hello Destiny...

2008

[Verse 1]
I see their lips move
But all I hear is shit
They act so intellectual
But they do crimes they don't admit
[Pre-Chorus]
We need action in the street (Hey!)
Movin' with our feet (Hey!)
It's time to shout out loud (Woah-oh)
It's time to start a movement
And there is no time like right now
[Chorus]
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up?
It's time to start a fight
[Verse 2]
Monkey see, monkey do
But all they see is death
Electrocute and cut them up
Watch them take their last breath
[Pre-Chorus]
We need action in the street (Hey!)
Movin' with our feet (Hey!)
It's time to shout out loud (Woah-oh)
It's time to start a movement (Hey! Hey!)
And there's no time like right now
[Chorus]
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up?
It's time to start a fight
[Interlude]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
[Horn Solo]
[Bridge]
But I've held my breath so many times
When I'm prayin' for the tortured souls
But your souls, they seem to be done for
Your bodies, they have waged wars
So what gives them the right
(What gives them the right)
To take your life from you?
Why do they all play god?
Who said, "That is your job"?
[Chorus]
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up, stand up?
It's time to get up, get up, get up
Why don't you stand up, stand up?
It's time to start a fight
[Outro]
I've heard it's a rat race
And they race until they're dead
(Get up, get up, get up)
Your pesticides commit homicides
Slit their throats until they've bled
(Stand up, stand up, stand up)
I've heard it's a rat race (Woah-oh)
They race until they're dead (Woah-oh)
Your pesticides commit homicides (Woah-oh)
Slit their throats until they've bled
Now it's time to start a fight
