Текст песне : Q-Tip. Getting Up.

Sent you a message, sent you an email
Hasty decisions we may still prevail
Both needed breaks, we both needed to bail
Walkin' thru' the corridors of my mind

The hideaways, the nooks, there filled with good times
Memories, certainly yes, they still bind
Still a common man and yeah that's for sure
Still a bankroll and yeah still can tour
The madness, the thing we had was much more

Come back home, don't be out in the world
It's a rat race and always for a girl
And most scavengers have found the pretty pearl
It's for the faint of heart who never get enough
Gotta get tough, buckle 'em up, we call 'em duds
And we, and we and we, ahh

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

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 Kennedy's
You and I advance, certainly we can expand

Feelin's that should never end
And you respect me like a friend
But love me like your man
No other could contend

Or we could be like Doves exposed to history
Like stayin' with each other with truth and chivalry
The things we go thru' they shape our identity
Yes pretty, let's do this all night
Consummate this thing and make it alright
And when we cuddle up and promise that it's right

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

I like to watch everybody gravitate towards you
Your magnetic presences make them come thru'
The same way you got them you got me too
Now look at our lives so colorful
A wonderful spectrum, not 1 tone dull
Full of excitement and not 1 lull

See we had an understandin', oh yes we did
I'm bringin' it back, I'm puttin' in my bid
Have a couple of kids, have a couple of cribs
We like Ruby D and Ozzie, like Martin and Corretta

Doin' it to death, no one can do it better
When we leave our physical our sprits still together
Come on now, here's a placement for your hand
You rockin' with the #1 MC man
The #1 controller of right with the plan

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
