Getting up

C'mon we getting up

Ooh we getting up

Ah, yeah shorty work it

Where you going

Sent you a message, sent you a email

Hasty decisions we made still prevail

Both needed breaks, we both needed to bail

Walking through the corridors of my mind

The hideaways and jokes and things were good times

Memories certainly, yes they still bind

Still a common man, oh yeah that's for sure

Still a bank roll, and yeah still couture

But man this thing we had 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

And we, and we, and we, ahh

(We gotta)Getting up, (we gotta) Getting up

(Today is nice, c'mon I say we) Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up

(I say we) Getting up, (I say we) Getting up

(Tonight is right, c'mon we gon') Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up

Come over here baby, don't look so grumpy

This kind of lifestyle could be so comfy

We can start a clan just like the Kennedys

You and I again, certainly we can expand

Feelings that should never end

You respect me like a friend

But love me like your man

No other could contend

And we could be like those exposed to history

Like staying with each other truth and chivalry

The things we go through they shape identity

Yes pretty, let's do this all night

Consummate this thing and make it all right

And when we cuddle up I promise that I'll bite

(We gotta) Getting up, (we gotta) Getting up

(Today is nice, c'mon I say we) Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up

(I say we) Getting up, (I say we) Getting up

(Tonight is right, c'mon we gon') Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up

I like to watch everybody gravitate towards you

Your magnetism makes them all come through

The same way you got them, you got me too

Now look our lives' are so colorful

A wonderful spectrum, not one tone dull

Full of excitement and not one lull

We had an understanding, oh yes we did

I'm bringing it back, I'm putting in my bid

Have a couple of kids, and have a couple of cribs

We like Ruby Dee and Ossie, Martin and Coretta

Doin it til death, no one can do it better

When we leave our physical,

Our spirits still together

So c'mon now here's a placement for your hand

You're rocking with the #1 MC man

The #1 controller all right through the land

(We gotta) Getting up, (we gotta) Getting up

(Today is nice, c'mon I say we) Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up

(I say we) Getting up, (I say we) Getting up

(Tonight is right, c'mon we gon') Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up

(We gotta)Getting up, (we gotta) Getting up

(Today is nice, c'mon I say we) Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up

(I say we) Getting up, (I say we) Getting up

(Tonight is right, c'mon we gon') Getting up

I say we getting up, I say we getting up
