US3 - Get It Together lyrics

rate me

(chorus)

Get it together

Get it together

Gotta get it together

Get it together

Gotta get it together

Gotta get it together

Wake up in the morning, get my head on straight

It's gonna take a minute so I guess you'll have to wait

For this story-telling, city-dwelling sister to prepare

Need to fix my face, gotta comb my hair

Back-packed, head-wrapped

'Cos it's a cold cold world out there

If shit ain't together ain't nobody gonna care

Know your mama told you that this life ain't fair

But it's in your hands, your destiny is your plan

Get it together

'Cos in the city life is faster

Master your own destiny or meet disaster

You gotta have your head on straight, brothers are slicker

Influenced by bright lights, drugs, women and liquor

(chorus)

'Cos these streets ain't easy

And the shit that we see

Makes it hard to have faith and be strong and hold on

Keep hope and one day

Change is gonna come

There's so much so bad, so many that never had

Survival of the fittest

Keeping up with the quickest is the name of the game

You're a winner or a loser

A giver or a user and ain't it a shame

We got to be all we can be

And it's in our hands our destiny is our plan

Get it together

'Cos in the city life is faster

Master your own destiny or meet disaster

You gotta have your head on straight, brothers are slicker

Influenced by bright lights, drugs, women and liquor

(chorus)

People people can't you see

It's got to stop with you and me

It's hard enough, it's got to stop

So much more I gotta reach for

It's in our hands, make it our plans

Get it together
