Move! Get Up!

Lyrics

L.I.F.E. Long - "Move! Get Up!" [Emcee(s): L.I.F.E. Long] [Producer(s): Black Panther] [Intro: Sample from [?]] [?]: Hello! We're standing on a street corner in New York City. Few moments, you're gonna hear all the sounds of this street through binaural reproduction [Interlude 1: L.I.F.E. Long] Yeah, yeah. Come on. What? [?] word, word. Yeah. Jah bless, y'all. Yeah, Jah bless, y'all. Jah bless your life [Verse 1: L.I.F.E. Long] It's just Another New York story of pain and struggle felt Worldwide. Shout-out to those who hustle to get their Name up productively, staying alive, survive Through whatever you do, working to survive. Some get Caught up in 9-to-5's, wasting time. Plus bills Unpaid and other talents can't shine, so I'll Balance both like I'm supposed to. Long nights In studios. Can't sleep—rent's due. Twenty- -four hours, seven days a week walk the streets Even without a disc, man, I'm hearing beats At my job, on the low, crafting rhymes. Knowing now's My time. [?] defined. My exact Calculation of coordinates of my movements Improvement is my daily task, traveling on cement Of foreign grounds, leaving marks, putting it down Proper like no stress, arrived lost, now found [Hook: L.I.F.E. Long] This is my presentation. No time wasting Forget turning back. There's much more facing Get up, move. It's time to show and prove Balance your scale, never quit, never lose This is my destination. No time wasting Forget turning back. Yo, there's much more facing Get up, move. It's time to show and prove Balance your scale, never quit, never lose [Verse 2: L.I.F.E. Long] This is my Autobiography of my views seen. Letting the Listener hear the message in between. The concept I converse with hip hop fiends. Truth is Days getting shorter as we move. Destined to create Hits to show and prove. Many verses rocked That left impressions to few. Holding it, never quitting Studying lessons, paying dues. We all got Blues sung in different tones. I've grown to under- -stand negative unfortunately blown out of Context, searching for rites of existence. I'll pump My fist as a reaction against foolishness This government stay with their politricks, corruption, lies Trillion-dollar missiles built to blow up skies There's no question that these are the time we got To go out for yours and mine, stay organized We can't be stopped if combined [Hook: L.I.F.E. Long] This is my destination: hard work and dedication No time wasting. There's much more facing Life's lessons given for reasons—no choice To each his own, shine like expressed voice [Verse 3: L.I.F.E. Long] This is the Sequel to the end story. Not televised or Seen on VHS or DVD. Definitely Far from many unsolved, fictitious mystery This country was built on bloodshed. It's stormy Confusion in the paragraphs taught to student bodies This whole world economy fluctuates off the minority Putting in works and shackle to steal slavery We're corporate now but to a working-class society The main priority is for Babylon to get richer We stay poorer while problems be getting thicker The sick even sicker 'cause we can't afford healthcare So many negatives seen, the eyes can't bear, so I'll Stay close to God with no fear, move each Day, reacting on actions brought forth, travel Like a guiding star from the north, feeding on New grounds, directing people towards that next-level course [Hook: L.I.F.E. Long] (x2) This is my presentation. No time wasting Forget turning back. There's much more facing Get up, move. It's time to show and prove Balance your scale, never quit, never lose, yo This is my destination: hard work and dedication No turning back. There's much more facing Get up, move. It's time to show and prove Balance your scale, never quit, never lose, yo
