Q-tip - Gettin up

Sent you a message, sent you a' email
Hasty decisions, we may still prevail
Both needed breaks, we both needed to bail
Walking through the corridors of my mind
The hideaways, the nooks, and thangs with good times
Memories certainly yes they still bind
Still a common man and yeah that's for sure
Still a bankroller, 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 bad place, 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 duds
And we, and we and we ahhh

We gotta gettin up
We gotta gettin up
Today is nice come on we gettin up
Said we gettin up
Said we gettin up
Tonight 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 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
Or we could be like Doves exposed to history
Like staying with each other with truth and chivalry
The things we go through, 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 alright

We gotta gettin up
We gotta gettin up
Today is nice come on we gettin up
Said we gettin up
Said we gettin up
Tonight is right come on we gettin up
Said we gettin up
Said we gettin up

I like to watch everybody gravitate 'twards 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 so colorful
A wonderful spectrum, not one tone dull
Full of excitement and not one lull
See we had an understanding, oh yes we did
I'm bringing it back, I'm puttin' in my bid
Have a couple of kids, have a couple of cribs
We like Ruby Dee and Ossie, Martin and Coretta
Doin' it to death, no one can do it better
When we leave our physical our spirits still together
So Come on now, there's a place here for your hand
You rockin' with the number one MC man
The number one 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
Tonight is right come on we gettin up
Said we gettin up
Said we gettin up
