Let's Go
Cartel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As a man with a cause
I've had a lot of time to think
And look at who we are
And I've got nothing left to say
But we've got to carry on
And I've got so much left to do
Why do they lie?
Why can't you see?
Get up everybody
Stand up with me
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's go! Tell 'em we're coming
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's go! Stand up with me!
Let's go!
Take the world with me
You've got something on your mind
But you get in your way
Don't tell us tomorrow
You better buy change today
And all we have is who we are
And all we know is pretending
You gotta think of something real
Save the life worth spending
Why do they lie?
Why can't you see?
Get up everybody
Stand up with me
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's go! Tell 'em we're coming
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's go! Stand up with me!
Let's go!
Take the world with me
So if you've got a torch to carry
Hold it high!
And take the world with me
Let it burn, let it burn, let it light up the sky!
Stand up! Get up, let's go
Stand up! You've gotta let them know
Stand up! You've gotta make them see
Get up people! Stand up with me!
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's go! Tell 'em we're coming!
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's go! So I'll sing!
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's go! Tell 'em we're coming!
Let's go! Everybody!
C'mon everybody, stand up with me!
So let's go! Let's go!
Take the world with me!
Let's go!
The song "Let's Go" by Cartel is a call to action for people to unite and stand up for what they believe in. The opening lines of the song, "Let me reintroduce myself, as a man with a cause," suggest that the singer of the song has been through some struggles and has emerged with a newfound purpose. This purpose seems to be to inspire others to take action, to "take the world" with them.
The first verse suggests that the singer has reached a point where they feel they have said all that needs to be said. The lines "And I've got nothing left to say, but we've got to carry on, and I've got so much left to do, but I'll start with this song" suggest a sense of urgency and a need to act quickly. This is followed by the chorus that repeats the phrase "Let's go" four times, encouraging everyone to take action and stand up for what they believe in.
The second verse reinforces this call to action, with lines like "Don't tell us tomorrow, you better buy change today" and "save the life worth spending." The final lines of the song "Let it burn, let it burn, let it light up the sky!" are particularly powerful, suggesting that the collective action of people coming together can create a bright future.
Overall, "Let's Go" by Cartel is a powerful message of unity and action, encouraging people to take a stand for what they believe in and work together to make a positive change.

Let me reintroduce myself
I want to make it clear who I am and what I stand for
As a man with a cause
I have a purpose and mission in this world
I've had a lot of time to think
I've had opportunities to reflect on our situation
And look at who we are
To examine ourselves and our identity
And I've got nothing left to say
I've already said everything that needed to be said
But we've got to carry on
But we must continue the struggle
And I've got so much left to do
There is much work to be done
But I'll start with this song
But I'll begin with this call to action
Why do they lie?
Why do they deceive us?
Why can't you see?
Why can't you recognize the truth?
Get up everybody
Wake up, everyone
Stand up with me
Join me in standing up for our cause
Let's go! Everybody!
Let's take action, all of us!
Tell 'em we're coming
Alert our adversaries that we are on our way
Take the world with me
Work together to change the world
You've got something on your mind
You have something important to share
But you get in your way
You prevent yourself from expressing it
Don't tell us tomorrow
Don't delay till tomorrow
You better buy change today
Take action and create change now
And all we have is who we are
We are only ourselves and nothing else
And all we know is pretending
And all we do is fake and act
You gotta think of something real
We need to think of something meaningful and genuine
Save the life worth spending
Save and improve the worth-living lives
So if you've got a torch to carry
If you have a message to spread
Hold it high!
Be proud and confident in it
Let it burn, let it burn, let it light up the sky!
Let it spread far and wide, let it inspire and ignite the passion in others!
Get up people!
Rouse out and awaken, people!
Let's go!
It's time to act and change the world

Probably my favorite band. I just like ALL of their songs. I don't even mind that they kinda fly under the radar. It just means I can introduce everyone I meet to this awesome band they've never heard of. I can't wait for their 4th album!

What amazes me is that this song has been on the NCAA tournament, NBA playoffs, NFL playoffs, all-star games, but still no one knows who this band is?
