[Intro: Cee-Lo Green]
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Uh-huh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
One time
More beat up in this thing, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout?
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
(Get up, get out and do something)
Southwest ATL in full effect
You have to deal with it one way or another, homeboy
[Verse 1: Macy Gray]
Like Cleopatra, got the masses at my feet
Got a living dwell down on easy street
I'm the latest craze, oh yeah
And if you stay a while
Inevitably, you're gonna my style
In your later days, well, well, well
Let me tell you what is fact and what is true
I get high a lot, ain't got much to do
I'm always in a daze, uh-huh
That was just a dream I had
Last night in my bubble bath
Next to my wishing well
Oh yeah, you gotta
[Chorus: Macy Gray]
(Get up, get out and do something)
Don't let the days of your life pass you by, you better
(Get up, get out and do something)
How will you make it if you never even try?
(Get up, get out and do something)
That's what I know, I gotta go
Yeah, get up, get out
[Verse 2: Cee-Lo Green]
Well, it's the birth of a new beginning
And the world hasn't stopped spinning
The human race is on, it ain't nann for winning
Watch out, get a watch, bracelet, and get to grinning
Prophecies, patience is truly thinning
Oh, believe me, I know how you could go low to get high
And settle for the scraps and get by
It's hard to be inspired by the words of a song if our rights aren't our own
When you're paying the cost for being lost for so long
Seeing me suffer like this stops the beat of my heart
And I'm attempting to turn this atrocity into art
And start healing, so you could stop feeling like you gotta ball
Whether it's significantly small, there's time and place for us all
There's responsibility, even in being free
In being you, in being us, in being alive
In being me, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Macy Gray]
(Get up, get out and do something)
Your whole life, hey, hey
(Get up, get out and do something)
Can't spend your whole life tryin' to get high
(Get up, get out and do something)
'Cause you and I got to do for you and I
[Verse 3: Macy Gray]
What's been happening? How you doing? Where you been?
I'm further behind now than I was back then
Lost in some old maze, uh-huh
Some years have passed me by
All I want is to go get high
I'll get it together some other day
[Bridge: Macy Gray]
In my dreams I dwell, uh-huh
'Cause all my dreams are swell, oh yeah yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Macy Gray]
(Get up, get out and do something)
Days of your life pass you by, you got to
(Get up, get out and do something)
How will you make it if you never even try? Come on and
(Get up, get out and do something)
Get out, don't spend your whole life tryin' to get high, come on and
(Get up, get out and do something)
'Cause you and I got to do for you and I, alright
[Outro: Macy Gray]
(Get up, get out and do something)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Get up, get out and do something)
How will you make it if you never even try?
(Get up, get out and do something)
Why don't you
(Get up, get out and do something)
Why don't you
(Get up, get out and do something)
