Don't Let It Get You Down

Lyrics for Don't Let It Get You Down

Stand with your feet together, buttocks tight, stomach pulled in And arms straight out to the side shoulder height Now flex your hands upwards, press the heels of your hands out to the opposite walls And circle forward, two, three, four And I'd say to myself, "Hey, don't let it get you down" When life gets too loud And my bad mind's on the prowl And my feelings form a crowd I say "Hey!" Don't let it get you down Firm your feet, eyes to the summit And do not read the comments Don't digest what does not nourish Save some space for mom's jollof (Two, three, four) (Two, three, four) And I'd say to myself, "Hey, don't let it get you down" When life gets too loud And my bad mind's on the prowl And my feelings form a crowd I say "Hey!" Don't let it get you down This life will teach you lesson after lesson And they will not all be gentle or soft spoken I don't care how corny it sounds You are not alone in this town I said I don't care how corny it sounds You and I are deserving of good things Good things are coming for you And they are going to hurt (Stomach tight, ready, pressing down) But no pain, no gain (keep that back straightened out) No pain, no gain (let's hear you breathing) No pain, no gain, no pain, no gain (reach high) No pain, no gain (and now, final stretch) No pain, no gain, no pain, no gain (reach it, reach it, reach it) No pain, no gain (reach it) No pain, no gain, no pain, no gain (now reach) No pain, no gain (now give yourself a pat on the back) No pain, no gain (good job)
