Get on Up
Get on Up: Embrace Freedom, Escape the Chains of Routine
Lyrics
Get on up
Encouragement to rise or improve one's situation
Sometimes you feel like movin' but for me, you know it's hard to get around
Expresses difficulty in moving physically or emotionally
Sometimes you feel like movin' But for me, you know it's hard to get around
Reiteration of the challenge to move or progress
You gotta get on up, get on up, get on up and let your feet leave the ground
Emphasis on the necessity to rise and overcome obstacles
Before you are settled down
A warning about the consequences of staying stagnant
So better start runnin'
Advises to initiate action or escape from the current situation
Before you stay here in this town
Indicating the urgency to leave the current place
If you feel like goin' somewhere trying to be where trouble just ain't around
Desire to move away from trouble or problems
If you feel like goin' somewhere trying to be where trouble just ain't around
Reinforcing the intention to avoid troublesome situations
You gotta get on up, get on up, get on up - and let your feet leave the ground
Reemphasizing the importance of rising above difficulties
So you better start runnin'
Reiteration to start taking action or making a change
Before you are settled down
Reinforcing the need to act before settling into a situation
So you better start runnin'
Warning about potential dangers or threats
Before they come and try to hunt you down
Implying imminent pursuit or pressure from others
I will always be runnin' trying to be somewhere where I am safe and sound
Expressing perpetual pursuit of safety and security
I will always be runnin' trying to be somewhere where I am safe and sound
Reiteration of the constant effort to find safety
I gotta get on up, get on up, get on up and let my feet leave the ground
Stressing the need to rise and depart from a situation
So you better start runnin'
Repeated advice to take action before being pursued
Before they hunt you down
Warning of potential pursuit or danger
Trying to get my things together
Expressing the desire to organize and depart from the current place
And try to leave this one-horse town
An intention to leave a small, unprogressive town for a better opportunity
