Get Low, Get High (Part 2) Lyrics by Willie Jones (feat. Jon Batiste & Michael Todd)
You gotta get low, so you can get high
You gotta scrub the ground if you wanna touch the sky
Singing “la-da-da-da”, you need the rain before the sunshine
To get by
You gotta get down, so you can get up
All you really need is a little bit of love
So, lean your seat back, buckle up, it’s a long ride
You gotta get low, so you can get high
I woke up on the floor and the sky is pouring
I’m getting tired of feeling like this every morning
I looked into the mirror and I can’t ignore it
I’m feeling the weight, hey
There ain’t no brushing off the world on your shoulder
I figured out that you go under to get over
So, if you’re someone out there looking for some closure
Well, I gotta say
You gotta get low, so you can get high
You gotta scrub the ground if you wanna touch the sky
Singing “la-da-da-da”, you need the rain before the sunshine
To get by
You gotta get down, so you can get up
All you really need is a little bit of love
So, lean your seat back, buckle up, it’s a long ride
You gotta get low, so you can get high
Grandma said you got to hope
Got to see yourself in visions in designer suits
Tune it up like a TV when she watching soaps
Mama knows, mama knows not to block the flow
I’m gone
Grandma say go shine, ’cause the Lord saidit’s your time (Better get along)
Singers singin’ swingin’ swingin’ low sweet chariot
Coming for to carry us whenever we cant bury it
Now whether y’all selling hope or dealing dope
Whether hanging with the Pope or chilling with the folk
We all dealwith the highs and the lows
You gotta get low, so you can get high
You gotta scrub the ground if you wanna touch the sky
Singing “la-da-da-da”, you need the rain before the sunshine
To get by
You gotta get down, so you can get up
All you really need is a little bit of love
So, lean your seat back, buckle up, it’s a long ride
You gotta get low, so you can get high
Get high (Get high)
Get high (Get high)
Okay I’m talking to my fellas
Get low
And then I’m talking to my ladies, yeah
Get high
Okay I’m talking to the grown folks
Get low
The old folks, even the itty-bitty babies
He cuz
What up Mike?
Let me talk to them for a second
See the truth of the matter is
If you gonna experience the highs of this life
You gotta be okay with the lows
And if you feeling low right now
Be encouraged
They’re a part of the end
I promise
You gotta get low, so you can get high
You gotta scrub the ground if you wanna touch the sky
Singing “la-da-da-da”, you need the rain before the sunshine
To get by
You gotta get down, so you can get up
All you really need is a little bit of love
So, lean your seat back, buckle up, it’s a long ride
You gotta get low, so you can get high
