[Intro: Jill Scott]
I
Don't
Want
To
Go
To
Work
Today
I'd rather
Stay home and play
Video games
Home... chill

[Chorus:]
But I gotta get up
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get up
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get up
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get up
Get up

[Verse 1:]
I don't want to go to work today
I'd rather stay home and play video games
I'd rather chill for real
I don't know how you feel
But sometimes I feel like I'm
Workin' for nothin', tryin' to get somethin'
Every where I turn there's a bill, standing out
Swim the river, climb the hill
Complacency, you ain't gone get me, no, no, no, no
[Chorus:]
'Cause I gotta get up
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get up
I gotta gotta gotta...
(Got... to... get... up...)
(Got... to... get... up...)
(Got... to... get... up...)
(Got... to... get... up...)

[Verse 1, repeated:]
I don't want to go to work today
I'd rather stay home and play video games
I'd rather chill for real
I don't know how you feel
But sometimes I feel like I'm
Workin' for nothin', tryin' to get somethin'
Every where I turn there's a bill, standing out
Swim the river, climb the hill
Complacency, you ain't gone get me, no, no, no, no!

[Chorus: Jill Scott (Valvin "V" Roane)]
'Cause I gotta get up (Ohhhh...)
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get up (Ohhhh...)
Get up (Ohhhh...)
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get up (Ohhhh...)
Get up (Ohhhh...)
I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta get up (Ohhhh...)
Get up (Ohhhh...)
[Verse 2:]
I'd rather be in my space
I'd rather chill in my place
Imagine go out and play all day, I...
I'd rather chill at home
I'd rather lay alone
True, but I got to work
I don't wanna go
I wanna play today
But, what can I say?
Bills to pay
I just can't get comfortable doing (doing) nothin' (nothin')

[Bridge: Valvin "V" Roane, (Jill Scott)]
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Got, got, got...)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh [Jill scatting and vocalizing "di-di-di-da" etc.]

[Refrain/Outro: Jill Scott, continued scatting at the same time]
Hey! Gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
Gotta, gotta, gotta get up
