Start Me Up (Radio Edit) Lyrics

Come down (x4)
Come down, the S to the A-L-T
Come down, the Love to the B-U-G
Come down, the Spin to the D-A-Rella
Come down, S-T-double E the E in the V
Come down, the P to the E-P-A
Come down, Idolmakers in the house, how ya know?
Come down, to the Record Lord
Come down

Wait a minute, y'all, wait a minute

Start me up, you've got to start me up (x4)

Well-a, well-a, w-h-h-h-hell-a
You're caught in the rain, but you forgot your umbrella
Oooo, what could you do punch-a-nella, punch-a-nella?
You're trapped in a cage like an ape called Magilla
And now you're ready to throw in the towel, that's kinda foul
You don't give a hoot like a mute owl
That's not the way I know you to be
You used to be true to me, oooo-whee, what you used to do to me
Shows that you got a lot to offer
So brother just get offa your butt because it's gonna cost ya
It rips me apart to see you like this
Me and you might just be able to fight this so baby

But it's been so long that I thought I lost you
And I felt my life was going nowhere without you
I feel so strong because I have you
Standing by my side
Oh baby, baby, you just got to

Start me up, you've got to start me up (x4)

Everybody has a time in their life
When things doesn't always go right
It just gets harder every day
And it makes you wanna run away
And then I wonder where it will end
Can I ever be myself again?
Yo, I got hopes and I got trust
And I got you here to start me up

I'm fed up (fed up), word up (dead up)
Got to keep my head up, don't stop or let up
You're sleepin' later, time to get your bed made up
Always on the loose until your dude get paid up
Paid up, wait up, I'm knockin', and I'm puffin'
Watch television all day doin' nothing
Pushing in your liver, looks like you're ready to deliver
Yo, Salt, I think it's a caesar

Start me up, you've got to start me up (x4)

Pepa ade donet
So people come follow
Now easy dibe gal
Ca me a big mama
Topin at the period
An passin' ponda coma
So poom poom breat
Sav de drumma fe ya fadda
'Cos me ruff
Ruff 'n tuff 'n
Rugged 'n stuff
Me might roll upa blunt
'N tek a lickle (wah)
Lick shot 'n' all
A uno will drop (wah)
See my crutches never fail me

Start me up, you've got to start me up (x4)
