Us3 Get It Together Lyrics

(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
