Get Back Up
Starkid Productions Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taz:
You say
You've lost your edge
I say
It's all in your head
So listen up! I gotta message for you.

You got

Something of a dry spell
But you taught
Me everything that I know
So why not
Let me teach a thing or two

You're a total badass,
At the top of your class
Now you're tellin' me you have your doubts?

Well I'm not about to let
A Ranger forget
What bein' a Ranger is all about

We're here to get the job the done
It doesn't matter if it's tough or it's fun
We don't hide and we don't run away

'Cause...
We're here to get the job done
We'll do it better than anyone
And if we ever feel like we've gone astray

We gotta get up, gotta get back, get back up!

So ya gotta get up, gotta get back... get back up!

I know you see the rough times
Hell, I see this too
But I ain't seen anyone
Face 'em half as well as you

This is no time to worry
This is no time to fuss
I know just how great you are
And I think I speak for all of us...

(Spoken) Okay idiotas. Say something nice, or I will kill you.

Specs:
(Spoken) You're the coolest dude around!

Tootsie:
(Spoken) You've never let me down!

Taz:
Take a good look in the mirror

Krayonder:
(Spoken) You're an awesome guy

Taz:
And the reason why

Gang:
Every one of us is here

Up:
I'm here to get the job the done!
I'm a beautiful son of a gun
I'm the only one who can make it true

Gang:
That's true, it's what ya gotta do

All:
We're here to get the job done
Doesn't matter, small or a ton
And when we're down, and there's none we can do

Gang:
We gotta get up, gotta get back, get back up!

Up:
I gotta get up, gotta get back, get back up!

All:
We gotta get up, gotta get back, get back up!

We gotta get up,
Gotta get back
Get back...

Up:
Get back, I'm gonna get back...

All:
Get back up!
