Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La, la, la, la-la-la
Every day's the same day
It never changes
I work the 9 to 5
I do what I do just to get by
I'm always fiendin' for a new life
Tonight's the night
I'm gonna settle the score
For the weekday chore for my soul
Tonight's the night I'm gonna lose control
Gonna hit the floor, act a fool
Boy, you on the floor now let the music take your soul
Boy, you on the floor now maybe you should just let go
CHORUS
Go! Go! If somethin' happens on the floor
Go! Go! Before they throw us out the door
Go! Go! Because we want a little more
And we can't find it here we got to go
Go! Go! We got to get it to the spot
Go! Go! We got to drop it while it's hot
Go! Go! We got to do it when they not
'Cause we plot quite a lot with the skills that we got
I've been waitin' for divine inspiration
From the radio station where to go
To where the club be hoppin'
The DJ be droppin', beat boxers boxin'
With some poppin' and lockin'
MC's mackin' folks
Lyrically... squawkin' jokes
Got the bouncers bounding, got to get pounding
When the vibe starts winding, got to go
La, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la-la-la
Chorus
We gotta step, step
We gotta hustle, hustle
We gotta get 'em, get 'em
We gotta move, move
We gotta cut, cut
We gotta get up, get up
Get ready steady gotta...Go!
La, la, la, la-la-la
La, la, la, la-la-la
Chorus (repeat)
Go! Go! We got to get it to the spot
Go! Go! We got to drop it while it's hot
Go! Go! We got to do it when they not
'Cause we plot quite a lot with the skills that we got
Go! Go! Go!

Julia Lester - Rising (From "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series")
Lyrics:
Who am I when who I am is changing?
Who am I when I'm not in my head?
I’m followin' the signs, where will they take me?
Will my future self and I be friends?
I'm searchin’ for stars, the horizon is black
But I know what I know, and there's no goin' back
I've been livin' under one small piece of sky
Suddenly, the whole world is open wide
It's time I'm rising, rising
There's a part of me reachin’ for the light
So strong, impossible to hide this fire that’s rising, rising
What am I when what I am is wild
And louder than I ever dared beliеve
I'm so done with hiding in the shadows
And I’m so ovеr bein' scared of me
The stars are all new (The stars are all new)
I'm charting a path (I'm charting a path)
’Cause I know what I know
And there's no goin' back
I've been livin' under one small piece of sky
Suddenly, the whole world is open wide
It's time I'm rising, rising
There's a part of me reachin' for the light
So strong, impossible to hide this fire that's rising, rising
Ooh-ooh
Rising, rising

Ashlyn really said . . . "Ensemble? Let me show you why you're gonna regret that." Julia Lester is AMAZING and don't get me wrong, Gina and Kourtney as Anna and Elsa is PERFECT. I love the non-traditional casting this show does (except for Ricky always getting the male lead. I'm over that. Let's switch it up please.) Anyway, we stan Julia as Ashlyn!!! Her arc is gonna be great. Trying to find herself after not getting the lead again. A true theatre kid story.
