Lyrics

Git up, ya git down

Encouragement to stand up, take action

Ya git lost and then ya git found

Experience being lost and then found

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Confident affirmation of a statement

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Reiteration of confidence in the statement


Ya git a laugh, ya git a cry

Life includes laughter and tears

Git'em all before you die

Encouragement to experience all aspects of life

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Confident affirmation of a statement

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Reiteration of confidence in the statement


Come on, sit down, git down

Invitation to sit down and relax

A come on, sit down, git down

Reiteration of the invitation

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Confident affirmation of a statement

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Reiteration of confidence in the statement


You git the truth, ya git a lie

Experience both truth and lies

'nough to make a grown man cry

The impact on a grown man, possibly emotional

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Confident affirmation of a statement

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Reiteration of confidence in the statement


You git the light, you git the dark

Encounter both light and dark aspects of life

Fall in love, it breaks your heart

Falling in love can be heartbreaking

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Confident affirmation of a statement

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Reiteration of confidence in the statement


Come on, sit down, git down

Invitation to sit down and relax

A come on, sit down, git down

Reiteration of the invitation

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Confident affirmation of a statement

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Reiteration of confidence in the statement


All the ladies hypnotize you

Women have a captivating effect

And all your friend

Friends may treat you condescendingly

Well they just patronize you

God's presence, possibly forgotten or overlooked

Don't God look forgot?

Reflection on the unclear plan of God

He's just sittin' here

God is present and observing

And I think he's got a plan

Suggesting God has a plan, though unclear

But it's not too clear

Uncertainty in understanding God's plan


Mm mm mmm mm mm mm

Musical expression, possibly representing contemplation

Mm mm mmm mm

Continuation of musical expression

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Confident affirmation of a statement

Sure as I'm sittin' here

Reiteration of confidence in the statement


Mm mm mm mm mmm mm mm mm

Continuation of musical expression

Mm mm mmm mm
