Go For It
Joey B. Ellis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We ain't got no time to waste
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba no time to waste, ooh
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, when I'm with you, oh
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba no time to waste, ooh
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, when I'm with you, oh
First thing when I'm waking up to the sunrise
I need a little help, but it's easy with your eyes
Not an early bird, but up to get down on you
Now, when I leave the bed, take my phone off the charger
The way you put your hands makes it even harder
I got bills to pay but I rather lay here with you, oh
Tell me now, don't go, I'll stay
Stick around just one more day
We can sing our worries out and away, away, away

Do what you want, we can let our records play
And sing along, don't worry 'bout a thing today
Leave it for tomorrow, leave it for tomorrow
Do what you want, we can dance 'til morning comes
Now sing along, we can stop when the day is done
Leave it for tomorrow (Yeah, baby won't you)
Leave it for tomorrow

A little time with you is all I needed
Talking on the phone, getting out of my meeting
I can hear our love song steady beating in my ear
Du-du-du-du-du-doah, la-da-da-da-ba-ba-ba
I can hear our love song steady beating in my ear
Oh yeah, tell me what can hold us down? (What can hold us down?)
50 hertz and a wall of sound (a wall of sound)
We can sing our worries out and away, away, away

Do what you want, we can let our records play
And sing along, don't worry 'bout a thing today
Leave it for tomorrow, leave it for tomorrow
Do what you want, we can dance 'til morning comes
Now sing along, we can stop when the day is done
Leave it for tomorrow (Leave it, yeah, leave it for)
Leave it for tomorrow (Leave it, leave it for tomorrow)

Ooh, ooh, won't you leave it for tomorrow
Baby, ain't got no time to waste
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba no time to waste
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, when I'm with you, oh
I wish, we ain't got no time to waste
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba no time to waste
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, when I'm with you, oh, with you

I wish, we ain't got no time to waste
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba




Ba-ba-ba-ba no time to waste
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, when I'm with you, oh, with you

To be or not to be, yo, that's the question
Are you gonna stop or keep on rockin'?
For the better, quicker than the next man
To be the best is the masterplan
I've always thought I've got, give it your best shot
Don't ever think about tryin' to stop
Keep reaching, pushing, hoping for perfection
Make up your direction
Don't ever stop for a moment
Prove you want it, if you got it strong
And get up on it
Go for it, y'all, not for a minute but all the time
You better do it 'cause I prove the mind
Heart and fire
(Go, go, go) I see it in your eyes
(Go for it!) Heart and fire
(Go, go, go) You got to gather the feeling!
It's time for the rhyme with the boys and the gifted
Listen close, we endure, get lifted
Higher than you ever been before
Get more than you bargained…

For a one hit wonder Joey B. Ellis knocked this jam out the ballpark.

This is the most underrated song in the Rocky films. Rocky 5 is one of the most underrated films of alltime. I thought it was very good.
