[Bm] You need to get up, [Em] get up, and get something.
How will you make it if you never even [Bm] try?
You need to get [Em] up, get up, and get something.
Cause [Bm] you and I [Em] got to do for you and [F#] I.
Y'all telling me that I need to get [E] out and vote?
Huh.
Why?
Ain't nobody black running but crack curves.
[D] So, why I got to register?
I'm thinking of better stuff to [E] do with my time.
Never smelled the aroma of the Poma, but I write the deepest rhymes.
So, let me take y'all way [B] back to [E] when Benjamin stayed in Southwest Atlanta, A.
Y'all could not tell me nothing.
Thought I hit that bottom [B] rock at [Em] age 13.
Start working [Bm] at that loading dock.
Then [Em] laying my mama off of work.
General Motors [Bm] tripping, but I [Em] come home rank like Hank [F] from Nick and [Bm] Nippin.
Doing [Em] dumb things not knowing what I know [Bm] now.
Yeah, that [Em] petty stuff will have you cased up in lockdown.
[Bm] I dip [Em] over to these points still acting a [Bm] fool.
Wasting my [Em] time in the school.
I'd rather [Bm] be sitting pool.
[Em] Cool is how I played the 10th grade.
I [Bm] thought it was [Em] all about macking guns and [Bm] wearing pimp fade.
Instead [Em] of being in class, I'd rather be up in some [Bm] ass.
Not [Em] thinking about them six courses that I need to [Bm] pass.
[Em] Graduation rolled around like roly-poly.
[Bm] Damn, that's messed up.
I [F#] should've listened when my mama told me that.
[Em] If you play now, you're gonna suffer later.
[Bm] Figured [Em] she was talking yang-yang, so I paid her no attention.
I kept missing the point she tried to poke me with.
The joke was that I get the mo' I'm [D] feeling broke as shit.
[Em] But that don't matter though, I am an [Bm] old UT [Em] ass.
So get up off your ass.
You need to get up, get out, and get something.
Don't let the days of your life pass [Bm] by.
You need to get [Em] up, get up, and get something.

Sometimes I feel [Em] like that's a disappointment to [Bm] young.
Everyday I just [Em] lay around then I can't [B] be found.
Always has to give [Em] me some live and life like [Bm] a bumb.
Times [Em] is rough, my auntie got [Bm] enough problems of her own.
[Em] I'm [A] supposed to be [Bm] bold.
I agree, [Em] I try to be the man I'm supposed [Bm] to be,
but that doesn't give [Em] a diggas on you seem to ever [Bm] think.
I admit, [Em] I've had some dumb, shh,
And [Bm] I'm probably gonna do some [Em] more.
You [A] shouldn't hold that [Bm] against me.
Why not?
[Em] My music's all that [Bm] I got.
But sometimes we get [Em] tested for this to be [Bm] manifested.
I know [Em] you know what I'm gonna say this [Bm] to you.
Get [E] it.
But I don't get [Bm] it.
So what's the [Em] limit supposed to be?
That [Bm] must be why you can't get [Em] yourself up out the bed before [Bm] three.
You need to get up.

Ain't you sick [Em] and tired of having to [D] do without?
Damn, [Em] what up with all these questions?

Do you have any [Bm] suggestions?
The [Em] Jefferies drop, I get as cruel and [D] demeaning.
Sick of taking [Em] trash out [A] of toilet bowl [Bm] cleanings.
But I'm also [Em] sick and tired of struggling.
[Bm] I never ever thought [Em] I'd have to resort to drug [Bm] smuggling.
Nah, [Em] that ain't what I'm about.
[G#] See, Noah just continue [Em] traveling in this route without [Bm] any doubt or fear.
I [Em] know the Lord ain't brought me this [Bm] far so he can drop me off [Em] here.

My mama made [Em] me do it, but the devil, he made me smart.
[Bm] Told me to jack [Em] them weak suckers, but they [Bm] hooded stardust.
In the middle school, [Em] I was a bigger fool.
[Bm] I wore a tank top to [Em] show off my tattoo.
Thought I was cool.
[Bm] I used to hang out with my [Em] daddy's brother.
I called them [Bm] my uncles.
They taught me how to [Em] smoke herb.
I followed them when [Bm] they ran numbers.
So in [Em] the sense, I was [Bm] Rosemary's baby.
And then I learned [Em] the difference between a trick and [Bm] a lady.
Yeah, I treat them all [Em] like those.
See, I pimped them.
[Bm] Pimps never had my money, [Em] so I never whipped them.
[Bm] See, all the [Em] players came and all the players [Bm] went.
A player ain't [Em] a gangster, but a player can handle [Bm] his business.
You need [Em] to get up, get out, [Bm] get something.
