You got to start me up 
Start me up 
Start me up 

Come down the S to the A L T 
Come down the Luv to the be	 you G 
Come down the Spin to the D A Rella 
Come down S T double E the E in the V 
Come down the P to the E P A 
Come down Idolmakers in the house how ya know? 
Come down to the Record Lord 
Come down... 

[Wait a minute why'all wait a minute 
Let's get serious for a minute 
why'all havin' fun, I'm havin' fun 
Everybody havin' fun 
But you know those times when you get stressed out?] 

Everybody has a time in their life 
When things doesn't always go right 
It just gets harder every day 
And it makes you want to run away 
And then I wonder where it will end 
Can I ever be myself again? 
Yo, I got hopes, and I got trust 
And I got you here to start me up 

But it's been so long that I thought I lost you 
And I felt my life was goin' nowhere without you 
I feel so strong because I have you 
Standin' by my side, baby, baby, you just got to 

[Chorus]
Start me up, you got to start me up 
Start me up, you got to start me up 
Start me up, you got to start me up 
Start me up, you got to start me up 

Now why you lettin' them get you down? 
Pushin' you around until now? 
What's it gonna take till you realize? 
When you gonna open up your eyes? 
And how come you don't ever kiss me 
Or even say how much you miss me? 
But I got you and we got us 
Together we can start it up 

I'm fed up (fed up), word up (dead up) 
Got to keep my head up, don't stop or let up 
You're sleepin' later, time to get your bed made up 
Always on the loose until your dude get paid up 
Paid up, wait up, I'm knockin', and I'm puffin' 
Watch television all day doin' nothing 
Pushing in your liver, looks like you're ready to deliver 
Yo, Salt, I think it's a caesar 

[Chorus]

Well-a, well-a, w-h-h-hell-a 
You're caught in the rain, but you forgot your umbrella 
Oooo, what could you do punch-a-nella, punch-a-nella? 
You're trapped in a cage like an ape called Magilla 
And now you're ready to throw in the towel, that's kinda foul 
You don't give a hoot like a mute owl 
That's not the way I know you to be 
You used to be true to me, oooo-whee, what you used to do to me 
Shows that you got a lot to offer 
So brother just get offa your butt because it's gonna cost ya 
It rips me apart to see you like this 
Me and you might just be able to fight this so baby 

Start me up, you got to start me up 
Start me up, you got to start me up 

Yo, wait a minute (what up?), yo, you gotta wait a minute 
You didn't think that you would hear the "yo" 
Without the Turner Brother's in it? 
Huh, I pull the rank like a luitenent 
So when I said start me up, girl, I meant it 
You better set (set), set it off lady 
The brothers from Haiti ??? 
Serious, we get big, busy, and delirious 
Say Pep, hit me off with the lyrics 

Pepa ade donet 
So people come follow 
Now easy dibe gal 
Ca me a big mama 
Topin at the period 
An passin' ponda coma 
So poom poom breat 
Sav de drumma fe ya fadda 
'cause me ruff 
Ruff 'n tuff 'n 
Rugged 'n stuff 
Me might roll upa blunt 
'N tek a lickle(wah) 
Lick shot 'n' all 
A uno will drop(wah) 
See my crutches never fail me 
But it's been so long that I thought I lost you 
And I felt my life was goin' nowhere without you 
I feel so strong because I have you 
Standin' by my side, baby, baby, you just got to 

[Chorus]
