It takes dedication, and some patience

A little hard work, so good for the soul

In a basement, just tryna make it

Never giving up hope, oh, no, no, no

I be racing until my dreams end

But I know they won't, so I just go, go, go

'Til I'm facing my final days then

I'll look back and say

Look what I done, look what I overcome

With just a little bit of elbow grease

And now my fingers are numb, my steady beating the drum

As I'm walking to my own beat

Said I know that you could, said if only you would

Stop giving me that dumb excuse

'Cause no I don’t wanna hear anything in my ear

But the lacing of your two shoes

​

Get up, get up, get up, get up, go, go run down your dreams

I said get up, get up, get up, get up, go, do anything you believe

'Cause you know I got your back, if ever you do fall

Arms spread wide, look up to the sky, and maybe sing this song

But I got my head up, feeling like a million bucks

'Cause I ain't dead yet, even though the lightning has struck

You better bet that I be climbing up out the rut

And when I get back I'ma stick my flag in the mud

But I got my head up, feeling like a million bucks

'Cause I ain't dead yet, even though the lightning has struck

You better bet that I be climbing up out the rut

And when I get back I'ma stick my flag in the mud

Like what, what, go run down your dreams

But I said get up, get up, go, do anything you believe

'Cause I be Armstrong, walking on the moon for days

And while up I'm here, I'ma start throwing some praise

'Cause it might not seem like I got a lot

But I'm dreaming, I know that my dream will be got

Someday I'll look back and say

Look what I done, look what I overcome

With just a little bit of elbow grease

And now my fingers are numb, my steady beating the drum

As I'm walking to my own beat

Said I know that you could, said if only you would

Stop giving me that dumb excuse

'Cause no I don’t wanna hear anything in my ear

But the lacing of your two shoes

Get up, get up, get up, get up go go run down your dreams

Get up get up, go, do anything you believe

But I said get up, get up, get up, get up, get up, and go

Get up, get up, go, you just gotta believe
