Lyrics
Hands up get on up
Expression urging people to raise their hands and stand up, creating a sense of unity.
We are all one of a kind
Highlighting individual uniqueness but emphasizing a commonality among people.
But times up so don’t get up
Time is running out, advising against delaying action.
You’re too late to be the first in line
Being too late to be the first in line, possibly referencing missed opportunities.
Put your hands up
Encouraging the act of raising hands in a celebratory manner.
If you round up
Suggesting a positive evaluation where individuals rate at least nine out of ten.
Out of ten we're at least a nine
Highlighting a collective high rating but emphasizing the urgency of time.
But times up and I fucked up
Recognizing a mistake or failure, possibly related to missed opportunities.
Twelve of me for less than a dime
Referencing a situation where there are twelve similar entities available for a low cost.
Hey now
Encouraging immediate action and expressing a desire for something without delay.
Get up and get it before it’s too late now
-Get up and get it you don’t have to wait now
-You can have it all if you just say
-I want it now
-I want it free
Expressing the desire for something to be obtained without cost.
Hands up get on up
Don’t you wanna know what’s on my mind
-But times up so don’t get up
-I was sure I was one of a kind
-Put your hands up I give up
-I was looking for a place to hide
-But times up and I fucked up
-Now I’m staring at the great divide
-Hey now
-Get up and get it before it’s too late now
-Get up and get it you don’t have to wait now
-You can have it all if you just say
-I want it now
-I want it free
-I had a dream the other night
Describing a dream where personal success is visible but elusive.
Where I could see my name in lights
-But every time I get close it starts to fade away
-From Tokyo to Bogota
-All the girls say aha
-And I'd be lying if I told you I could walk away
-I had a dream the other night
Repeating the dream theme and acknowledging the difficulty of walking away from success.
Where I could see my name in lights
-But every time I get close it starts to fade away
-From Shanghai to Omaha
-All the girls say aha
-And you'd be lying if you told me you could walk away
-I had a dream the other night
Continuing the dream motif, underscoring the challenges of achieving lasting success.
Where I could see my name in lights
-But every time I get close it starts to fade away
-From Tokyo to Bogota
-All the girls say aha
-And I'd be lying if I told you I could walk away
-Hey now
Get up and get it before it’s too late now
-Get up and get it you don’t have to wait now
-You can have it all if you just say
-I want it now
-I want it free
-You can have it all if you just say
Reiterating the desire for immediate and free acquisition of desired things.
I want it now
-I want it free
