Time to Get Busy

[Vocals: James Brown & Full Force, both]

[Intro]
Uh! It's time to get, it's time to get get
Say it! (Get busy!) Hit it
Say it, say it
It's time to get, it's time to get get
Get busy!
I know it's right, say it, uh!
(Get busy, busy, buys, busy)
Uh, waow!

[Verse 1]
When I'm in the streets, I look all around
Not enough heads held high
Too many young people looking down
The only thing I wanna hear, is that sound
Of marching people, get it together on solid ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Children! (Yeah?)
I want you to listen (Alright!)
Idle time can make an idle mind
And the mind is a terrible thing to waste

[Chorus]
It's time to get, it's time to get get
Say it, YAAOW! Get busy!
It's time to get, it's time to get get
Get up, keep it up! Get busy!
Go on, Godfather
A-what we gonna do? (Hit it!) - Keep stickin'
It's time to get, it's time to get get
I need it, YAAOW! Get busy!

[Bridge]
Huh, uh! I need the speed! I need it!

[Verse 2]
If you know what time it is, get in the groove (get in the groove)
Babies making babies, sho-nuff ain't the move
If you wanna get paid, on ya own
Open your eyes, close your mouth
And leave that crack alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Children! (Yeah?)
Pick up on this (Alright!)
Don't waste ya time, ya gotta use your mind
'Cause the mind is a terrible thing to waste

[Chorus]
Ah, hit it!
It's time to get, it's time to get get
(Get get get get, get busy) Get busy!
Time to get, time to get
It's time to get, it's time to get get
(Time to get get, yaaaw) Get busy!
Time to get, time to get
It's time to get, it's time to get get
(Time to get get) Get busy!
It's time to get, it's time to get get
Ahhh, It's time to get, it's time to get
Get busy! Time to get, get, get busy!

[Bridge]
Yeeeaow! Take it down [?] (Hit me!)
Ah-ha-ha-ha, hey, yeas-ah
On the one, yes sir
Uh, ah, ow
We gotta get down, down, down, down
Hit it! Let it lay, huh!
(Get-get) Yeas-ah, let it lay, huh!
Ow, let it lay, uh!
(Get busy, busy, get busy, busy, busy)
Go on, Godfather - a-what we gonna do?
Keep stickin', stick and move - stick and move
Stick, stick, move (Get busy!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Children! (Yeah?)
I want you to listen (Alright!)
Don't waste your time - you gotta use your mind
'Cause the mind is a terrible thing to waste
Time, get get get what you want, ah
Don't give up, huh, use your mind, hah

[Chorus]
Don't give up, huh, use your mind
It's time to get, it's time to get get
Let's go, get busy!
Conscience be your guide
It's time to get, it's time to get get
Ha-ha-ha-ha, God's sake!

[Outro]
Never give up, never give up, never give up
Never give up on a good thing
Never give up, never give up, never give up
Nah, nah, aaaaow! On the one
Never give up
Never give up, never give up, never give up (get, get, get, get)
Never give up a good thing, yes-ah
Never give up, never give up, never give up
Aaaah, bring it, bring it up!
My thing, your thing, good thing, hit thing, my thing
Never give up, never give up a good thing
My thing, uh! (Get busy)
Good thing, my thing, your thing, my thing!
(Get busy)
Hit it, uuuhh!
