Gettin' Up by Q-Tip Album: The Renaissance Verse 1: Uh, Sent you a message, sent you a email Hasty decisions we may still prevail Both needed breaks, we both needed to bail Walkin through the corridors of my mind the hideaways and nooks n' things were good times memories certainly yes they still bind Still a common man and yea that's for sure Still a bankroll and yea still couture But man this thing that we have was much more Come back home, don't be out in the world It's a rat race and no place for a girl Amongst the scavengers I found a pretty pearl It's for the faint of heart who never get enough Gotta get tough buckle em up we call em guts Chorus: We gotta gettin up We gotta gettin up Today is nice come on we gettin up Said we gettin up Said we gettin up Tonite is right come on we gettin up Said we gettin up Said we gettin up Verse 2: Come over here baby don't look so grumpy This kinda lifestyle can be so comfy We can start a clan just like the Kennedy's You and I again certainly we can extend Certain feelings that should never end, You respect me like a friend But love me like your man no other could contend And we can be like those exposed to history Like stayin with each other with truth and chivalry The things we go through they shape identity Hm yes pretty let's do this all night, Consummate this thing and make it all right, and when we cuddle up I'll promise that alright Chorus: We gotta gettin up We gotta gettin up Today is nice come on we gettin up Said we gettin up Said we gettin up Tonite is right come on we gettin up Said we gettin up Said we gettin up Verse 3: I like to watch everybody gravitate toward you Your magnetic presence make them all come through The same way you got them you got me too Now look at our lives they're so colorful A wonderful spectrum not one tone dull Full of excitement and not one lull See we had a understanding oh yes we did I'm bringin' it back Im puttin' in my bid Have a couple of kids and a couple of cribs We like Rudy D and Nassy, Martin and Caretta Doin it ta def no one can do it better when we leave our physical our spirits still together Come on now here's a placement for your hand You're rockin with the #1 emcee man The #1 controller all right through the land Chorus: We gotta gettin up We gotta gettin up Today is nice come on we gettin up Said we gettin up Said we gettin up Tonite is right come on we gettin up Said we gettin up Said we gettin up Download Q-Tip's The Renaissance album at Amazon.com!
