| Lyrics: | You got to start me up
Start me up
Start me up
Come down the S to
the A L T
Come down the Luv to the B U G
Come down the Spin to the D A Rella
Come down S T double E the E in the V
Come down the P to the E P A
Come
down Idolmakers in the house how ya know?
Come down to the Record Lord
Come
down...
[Wait a minute y'all wait a minute
Let's get serious for a minute
Y'all havin' fun, I'm havin' fun
Everybody havin' fun
But you know those
times when you get stressed out?]
Everybody has a time in their life
When
things doesn't always go right
It just gets harder every day
And it makes you wanna
run away
And then I wonder where it will end
Can I ever be myself again?
Yo,
I got hopes, and I got trust
And I got you here to start me up
But it's been
so long that I thought I lost you
And I felt my life was goin' nowhere without you
I
feel so strong because I have you
Standin' by my side, baby, baby, you just got to
CHORUS
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to
start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Now why you lettin' them get you down?
Pushin' you around until now?
What's it gonna take till you realize?
When you gonna open up your eyes?
And how
come you don't ever kiss me
Or even say how much you miss me?
But I got you and we
got us
Together we can start it up
I'm fed up (fed up), word up (dead up)
Got to keep my head up, don't stop or let up
You're sleepin' later, time to get your
bed made up
Always on the loose until your dude get paid up
Paid up, wait up, I'm
knockin', and I'm puffin'
Watch television all day doin' nothing
Pushing in your
liver, looks like you're ready to deliver
Yo, Salt, I think it's a caesar
CHORUS
Well-a, well-a, w-h-h-hell-a
You're caught in the rain, but you
forgot your umbrella
Oooo, what could you do punch-a-nella, punch-a-nella?
You're
trapped in a cage like an ape called Magilla
And now you're ready to throw in the towel,
that's kinda foul
You don't give a hoot like a mute owl
That's not the way I know
you to be
You used to be true to me, oooo-whee, what you used to do to me
Shows that
you got a lot to offer
So brother just get offa your butt because it's gonna cost ya
It rips me apart to see you like this
Me and you might just be able to fight this so baby
Start me up, you got to start me up
Start me up, you got to start me up
Yo, wait a minute (what up?), yo, you gotta wait a minute
You didn't think
that you would hear the "yo"
Without the Turner Brother's in it?
Huh, I pull the
rank like a luitenent
So when I said start me up, girl, I meant it
You better set
(set), set it off lady
The brothers from Haiti ???
Serious, we get big, busy, and
delirious
Say Pep, hit me off with the lyrics
Pepa ade donet
So
people come follow
Now easy dibe gal
Ca me a big mama
Topin at the period
An passin' ponda coma
So poom poom breat
Sav de drumma fe ya fadda
Cos me ruff
Ruff 'n tuff 'n
Rugged 'n stuff
Me might roll upa blunt
'N tek a lickle(wah)
Lick shot 'n' all
A uno will drop(wah)
See my crutches
never fail me
But it's been so long that I thought I lost you
And I felt my life was
goin' nowhere without you
I feel so strong because I have you
Standin' by my side,
baby, baby, you just got to
CHORUS |
