Don’t forget to tell yourself:
Look inside of you and no one else,
No one even cares about your health.
Just ask my mom; she’s doing well.
Come inside and have a drink.
I don’t even know, I just can’t think.
I just ask myself if mom did wrong,
If you say nothing you best get gone,
Get-get gone, get-get gone, get-get gone, get-get gone.
Well pa-pa-papa said go on out and be something,
And my-my mama said stay home and be nothing.
It made it hard to get going,
I told myself I was going strong.
Mama said I ain’t got no home, get-get gone,
Get-get gone, get-get gone, get-get gone
Well stay outside and don’t forget your sneakers,
Up in the night sky you can’t see the big dipper.
The time has come for you to make a change,
Go on out until they know your name.
Well pa-pa-papa said go on out and be something,
And my-my mama said stay home and be nothing.
It made it hard to get going,
I told myself I was going strong.
Mama said I ain’t got no home, get-get gone,
Get-get gone, get-get gone, get-get gone.
Well pa-pa-papa said go on out and be something,
And my-my mama said stay home and be nothing.
It made it hard to get going,
I told myself I was going strong.
Mama said I ain’t got no home, get-get gone,
Get-get gone, get-get gone, get-get gone.
