getting over - kool kyle the starchild lyrics

i gotta find a way to get over
i gotta find a way to get over
i gotta find a way to get over
and…get down!

here we go y’all
just clap your hands, c’mon do the smurf dance!
just clap your hands, c’mon do the smurf dance!
just clap your hands everybody c’mon and do the smurf dance!

check this out y’all
i’m just tryin’ to get over just like you
you know, tryin’ to make ends meet
tryin’ to get down day-by-day and do the do
if y’all wanna get over too
i want y’all to get together, everybody
we’re gonna do this something like this

now throw your hands in the air
and then wave them like you just don’t care
c’mon
if gettin’ over is where it’s at it
somebody say like a fatback (like a fatback!)
like a fatback (like a fatback!)
i heard that

you know it
yeah

people struggling, everybody juggling, trying to survive
some are robbing, starvin’ like marvin, barely gettin’ by
and prices rise, before your eyes, inflation outta control
you know it’s sad when you’re doing bad and you’re always in the hole
you gotta family and they got to eat so you go to work every day
and you know last night your girl told you, you got another one on the way
so you go outside to buy your newspaper, to look through the cl-ssified section
deep down you hope, you can find the rope, to lead you in the right direction
but the jobs you find in the cl-ssified are one step from slavery
digging ditches, shining shoes, h-ll no that ain’t for me!
so you put the paper down, start to frown, wonder what you’re gonna do
’cause the bill collector is right behind, one step from grabbin’ you

ooohh, got to find a way to get over
got to find a way
i got to find a way to get down
oh yeah

wheelin’, dealin’, homeboy stealin’ trying to get a buck
wingo, zingo, gambling on bingo, trying to change their luck
now you’re in a bind and you’re starting to find that gettin’ over ain’t so easy to do
and every time you turn around my friend, somebody gettin’ over on you
you get no respect, people don’t forget that you never ever been to school
so they smile in your face but behind your back, they’re laughing and calling you a fool
so what you gonna do?
you can’t give up, you got to get up off your b-tt
a chance is what you got to take
you got to get dowwwwn, and break!

[interlude]
i need a job, i got to find something fast
hmm, let me look through these want ads, maybe i can find something
yeah here’s something right here
let me go downtown and check this out
i just got to get this job, this is my chance
[knocks on door]
(come in)
(can i help you)
uh yes sir my name is kool kyle and i saw your ad in the paper this morning
and i was just wondering, is the position still open?
(oh yes, uhh hold on a second)
(no that position has already been filled)
filled? but-but i just saw the ad this morning in the paper
(listen i’m very busy, the receptionist will show you out)
but-but-but sir, i need this…i need a…
d-mn what am i gonna do now
i got bills to pay, everybody’s on my back
(hey son, hey son, come back in here for a minute)
(i may have something else for you)
you mean you might have something for me?
(come on back in, let’s talk about it)
wow! i just knew i was gonna get over now, i knew it!

well, you took the chance, gave it a shot and now you’re doing fine
you got off the streets, and on your feet, and left the suckers behind
you did the right thing, made the right move, and now you’re busting loose
you got cash in a stash, a beautiful home and you know that you’ve got juice
but don’t forget, it took hard work to get where you are today
and to make it to the very top, huh, you know that you got to pay
you got to go to school, stay off the streets and keep-keep-keeping it on
you got to play cool, follow the rules and you know you won’t go wrong

you got to find a way, you got to find a way
you got to find a way to get over
you got to find a way, you got to find a way
you got to find a way to get over
you got to find a way, gotta find a way
you gotta find a way to get over
you got to find a way, you gotta find a way
got to find a way to get over

you gotta get over y’all
no matter who you are
no matter what you want to do
you got to get over
you got to get over
you got to get over

michael jackson is gettin’ over
richard pryor is gettin’ over
aretha franklin is gettin’ over
stephanie mills, gettin’ over
stevie wonder is gettin’ over
are you getting over?

reggie jackson is gettin’ over
magic johnson is gettin’ over
donna summer is gettin’ over
are you getting over?

grandmaster flash, gettin’ over
kurtis blow, gettin’ over
greg c, gettin’ over
are you getting over?
are you getting over?
are you getting over?

oooh, you got to get over
