Hook 1: Get up, you need to get up off your ass boy
Get up, you need to get up off your ass girl
 (4x)

First things first don't do this rap shit to stand out
My plans bout to minimize the folks holding they hands out
Whether you're on the corner bumming or all day at your mans house
Relying on government funds, crying cuz they ran out
It's hard to believe you can RECEIVE when you ain't RAN ROUTES
When chasing the greed most people bleed cuz it don't pan out
It's time to proceed so take heed to what your plans bout
So you can grow SEEDS with no WEEDS then watch your plans SPROUT
Everybody want something but don't know how to get it
Pride in they way, hide it away and just admit it
Swallow that shit, ask somebody who done did it
Since they done done it, I mean that's if you want it
Stop gettin blunted
In this world sitting still will get you killed for real
You can't afford to SCREW AROUND cuz you know the DRILL
The next man might try to CUT YOUR HAND when its time to DEAL
Either that or go SQUEAL, its no APPEAL
You gotta find a way to rise above the NONSENSE 
Cuz niggas out here dropping DIMES just to make NINE CENTS
Just try to stay woke, can't live your life UNCONSCIOUS
Just focus like the PROS and keep your mind off the CON SHIT

Hook 1

This for my ladies, who probably go spend half of ya'll lives trying to be Basketball Wives
And to my fellas who got the nerve to still be walking round
Like American Idols when your "Pants on the Ground"
You gotta order your priorities then get up and go
Now they got borders for minorities just ask Mexico
Very few people are FREE while most others are just DUMB
Put that together you can see that that's how FREE-DOM was one
They promised acres and a mule, but they ain't free us with none
And try to make us into fools like they ain't need us for nothing
But look around we still here and we far from worthless
Even though some would disagree you could prove it with purpose
So many things that you could do, so many things that you could be
That can not only help you but could also help me
Anyone can change the world that's our capability
You gotta learn this HANDS ON, I don't think you FEELING me
I don't believe in preaching gimmicks since I'm living to die
I'm all about reaching potential if the limit's the sky
MOTIVATION is essential got that TIP from T.I.
So I can only GET DOWN with those who GET UP and try
So GET UP

Hook 2: So you looking at your bank account its low on cash
Complaining bout the price of gas, you need to Get Up off your ass
Not concerned about your future cuz you're stuck in the past
Them old days will be your last unless you Get Up off your ass
Please don't take your life for granted cuz the time moves fast
If you wanna have a blast you gotta Get Up off your ass
Some people BLOW a lot of GREEN cuz they GROW a lot of GRASS
They just get it how they live don't hate just Get Up off your ass

I found the BLUEPRINT to a DYNASTY beyond REASONABLE DOUBT
Despite a HARD KNOCK LIFE just to see what it was bout
IN MY LIFETIME I found importance in the friends that you choose
So now I only ROC wit FELLAS who say "I WILL NOT LOSE"
You need to get up off your ass, stop making excuses
Start completing tasks, maybe make a To-Do list
Don't be a victim of society that shit is old
Find out what you capable of and set some goals
They say they Can but they Can't stop you, its they plan for them to knock you
People Hate you cuz they Ain't you, tell you man this shit will shock you
So many out here just ungrateful instead of SHOOTING try to BLOCK you
Meanwhile some others hopeless and they SHOOTING on the BLOCK too
Learned lessons from them old heads who dropped out of high school
Chasing FAST money, funny they stuck in a DRIVE-thru
Struggling minimum wage, probably gotta raise kids
In the PAST couldn't see their FUTURE how it PRESENTLY is
Live in a world say that's your baby but can't tell him its his
If it really takes a village we should get on our biz
Can't take this life for granted cuz this time moves fast
You wanna get something, you gotta GET UP OFF YOUR ASS

Hook 1, Hook 2
