Get Up / Danny![Joan Rivers]Listen... I wish I could tell you it gets better, but...It doesnt get better -- YOU get better.You think it's been easy? I've gone up, I've gone downI've been bankrupt, I've been broke, but you do it.And you do it because... because we love it more than anything else.That's why you doin' it. You want a real job, honey?There are a million things you can do, but what we do is not a job.It sounds so stupid... what we do... is a calling, my dear.We make people happy. It's a calling. {Amel Larrieux sample}Mmm, a-la da da.. Da da dum...Da-da-da, dum dum dum(One, two, three, four) [Chorus: Amel Larrieux]I know you're down - when you gon' get up?I see you're down - When you gon' get up?I know you're down - When you gon' get up?I see you're down - When you gon' get up? [Danny!](Wish that I could tell you it gets better)Man, it's kinda hard to stay positivePositivity only gets you but so farShoot for the stars, you'll mess around get hit by a carThat's just the cynicism season me (me)How am I supposed to motivatewhen half these motherfuckers don't believe in me? (When you gon' get up?) [Amel Larrieux]Ooooooooh, oooh-oooh-ooooooooohOoooooooh, oooh-oooh-oooooooooh [Danny!]How am I supposed to motivatewhen half these motherfuckers don't believe in me?Uh! [Chorus] [Danny!](Wish that I could tell you it gets better)I see I'm tryna work the systemBut I'm wanna make the system work for meWe're all connected through our imperfectionsOxygenarians to Junior in the nurseryWord, to say it's easy to be a leader is misleading (naw)We need some good examples from the time that we teethinto be the change that we wanna seeThat's why I never bother entertainin these wannabesI know my own worth and everyone should know their ownIrresponsible youth'll cause a mayhemwhen they really need a confidence boostI wanna be the one they look up to, but every now and thenI wake up in the morning, need some confidence tooUh, sucks but it's trueLil' nigga with big dreams, it sucks to be you [Chorus and Amel Larrieux singing ad-libs 'til end] [Danny!]Aiyyo, turn off that backpack Kumbaya bullshit, manRoll some fuckin weed up
