Lyrics:
My tongue gets tied
Every time I try to speak
And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree
I think I'll go on by the river with my cherry, cherry
radio
If you wanna get her dancin' down an old dirt road
Spent a lot of Friday nights up under the stars
Get you where you need to go and it'll go too
Wake up homie
Ayy, them people, they coming
Listen
Ayy, wke up
Ayy, homie
You gotta get up
Ayy, them folks is at the door, man
Get up
Get up
Go on parade and fade
Hit the scene and slow
Spending all your time with some girl
You'll never get to know
Wound up tight
Dressed all in
through your hair
And watch the lights go wild
Just keep on keeping your eyes on me
It's just wrong enough to make it feel right
And lead me up
this show now
We really gon' go now
Raise your hand once more now
Get that hand up higher
Well, a little bit higher
I got to see your hand
Yeah,
Why don't you get away? Get away (oh yeah)
Lay awake at night till the sun comes up in the morning
Never excited, it all seemed boring
Make up your
that clever, never
And what could I say?
I knew that it would go this way
Of course you blamed it on fate (fate)
I couldn't let it just escape
Oh yeah, I got the perfect song for the kids to sing
And all my people that's
Drug dealin' just to get by
Stackin' money 'til it get sky high
nights wishing it was how it used to be
He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity
I call just checkin' up on him
He's up, 3 AM
you get your courage up
You light a match an' your eyes adjust
It's amazing what a man can see
By the light of a burnin' bridge
An' there were
the things you used to say
And make the world go away
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in
[J Dilla:]
Yeah
Let's go
Turn it up
Introducin'
World famous beat junkie
Jay Dilla
Yeah
I got my man with me
[Common:]
Get up get up
(You're all I need to get by, ah)
(You're all I need to get by, ah)
Like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You
The places where we used to meet we go togehter
Step by step like shoes on the feet we go together
Just like the sand out in the sea what good is
Guthrie song
If I wrote the Bible
Genesis and Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers
The Book of Deuteronomy and Joshua and Judges
There's Matthew, Mark, and Luke
it all go faster
Playing through the witching hour
Take it to a thousand horsepower, yeah
Turn it up one more time
Get it up, get it up and feel
the things you used to say
And make the world go away
I'm sorry if I hurt you
I'll make it up day by day
Just say you love me like you used to
And make
the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
'em all up in a pan
We gotta get home while we still got a job
Or we'll have to answer to the man
And everybody knows we gotta go
We'll be back
surprise
Catch 'em by surprise
Catch 'em by surprise
Let's go
Bounce to the beat, people hands up
Everybody in the place stand up
And jump it, shake
Cheque by cheque
Just over broke
Just over broke
Just over broke
Working that night shift
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go
Cheque by cheque
Just over broke
Just over broke
Just over broke
Working that night shift
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go home
I just wanna go
