[ verse one ]
It`s high now
So low it`s high
Like this, check it out yo
Took a trip on a bus that didn`t know
Met a girl sellin` drinks at the disco
Said truth comes back when you let it go
Seems complicated cause it`s really so simple
Walkin` down Young Street on a Friday
Can`t follow them, gotta do it my way
No fast lane, still on a highway
Movin` in and out, no doubt there`s a brighter day
Chorus [ repeat 2x ]
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
Ahh, haa... Check out the crabs in the bucket
[ verse two ]
It`s like this, It`s like this..
It`s like fly in a room, scream, writing on walls
Swear this clone been havin` a ball
Claimin` themselves just before last call
Tic-a-tic-a-toc tic-a-tic-a-toc
Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one
Smoking gun put these fools on the run
I know it`s not that simple, I know it`s not that hard
where`s your goal
Chorus [ repeat 2x ]
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
Ahh, haa... Check out the crabs in the bucket
[ verse three ]
Yeah na I mean
Yeah, I heard you man, yo, check, yo, yo
It`s a conniption, fit when the microphones lit
I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire
I`ll never cause I`m just moving on up
Choosin` to touch, the unseen, craving the clutch
The most inevitable, legible pyro-mania
Slaying the devil, and send him back to Transylvania
Strangely enough, I avoid that side of the ghetto
From my heavy metal, will settle the puppets like Jepeto
Damm, if mirrors where created by sand
Then I`m looking in the water for reflections of man
Understand the minds above time when it`s empty
Emcee, tragically hip, ahead by a century, rrahh
Chorus [ repeat 2x ]
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
No time to get down cause I`m moving up
Ahh, haa... Check out the crabs in the bucket
