Words: L. Dukes, G. Williams, N. Glover music: J. Saddler, L. Smith, G. Vaughn - 1987 from the album "ba-dop-boom-bang" Stop sleepin', ya'll, if you know what time it is Because someone is talkin' yours as well as gettin' his You can front and ignore, but one thing's for sure I'm gettin' mine, so you better get yours Get yours, go for yours Get yours, go for yours Get yours Get yours everytime the opportunity knocks And don't chill-out too hard or you'll be out of the box Stop running your face and try to listen instead Or you'll be known as a loud-mouth joe rockhead Success is out there for everybody, take it from me Achieve without a license or some sort of degree And if they claim you can't do it, this is what you say Yo follow, lead, but get out of my way Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours, we went for ours Why sit at home bummin' just a-wastin' your time When all ya gotta do is seek an' you'll find What you want out of life, it's there so get it If you don't, then later you'll grow to regret it You can ignore and think I'm talkin' out loud for my health But don't ya do it for me, just do it for yourself And if you need a little push, here's food for me thought We know that you can do it, so take no shorts Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours, we went for ours For those sittin' back coolin', relaxed, gettin' fat Waitin' for the right thing to come and drop in your lap You see, you don't want to try, just let time fly While your life goes by before your two eyes You got to crawl before you walk, you see that opens the doors Because you can't start buildin' from the sixth floor If you work real hard, all your dreams will come true If it happened to us, it can happen to you The world is yours for the talkin' so what you waitin' for You should be contemplating on how to go out and Get yours Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours, we went for ours Get yours everybody, your ambition shows Get on top of yours game as your confidence grows Never take a short, give-up no slack You can't make it with a monkey ridin' on your back Got to get up to get down, get on over the hump Let your feelings flow and adrenalin pump (ugh) Stay on your guard, never take three strikes Get everything you want but get the best out of life Ya see, what your future holds is no mystery When you're the one who's in control of your destiny Just put that weak pride aside, go make it or break it You don't need it, then leave it, someone else will sure take it An eternal flame burns in everyone of us Turnin' the negative things in your life to a plus Workin' real hard beats the competition So what you waitin' for, you don't need no permission..... Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours, we went for ours Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours Get yours, winners never quit Get yours, go for yours, we went for ours Explain Request ×
