Get 'Em Up

His driver’s license said James he went by Jim

A gangster wanna be and baby that was him

He stole his uncle’s 44 last Friday night

Said if I wanted in we’d have to plan this thing just right

We’ll need the gloves, we’ll need the bags a couple masks

We’ll need to steal a car with windows tinted black

He picked the nearest bank on main and 17th

We wrote down every line from every movie that we’d seen

Screamin’

This is a robbery now get down on the floor

We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (yeah)

We want your cash open the safe get off the phone

Don’t be a hero and you might just make it home

Get ‘em up

Then get down

Reach for the sky

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Get ‘em up (2x)

Get ‘em get ‘em up

The fresh restored mustang small block 302

Drove by the bank a dozen times this afternoon

The only parking spot was half a bock away

Gave us time to practice just exactly what to say

Screamin’

This is a robbery now get down on the floor

We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (yeah)

We want your cash open the safe get off the phone

Don’t be a hero and you might just make it home

Get ‘em up

Then get down

Reach for the sky

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Get ‘em up

Get ‘em get ‘em up

The only thing I wish that one of us had known

That it was Sunday and the god damn bank was closed

Too bad we didn’t see the cops across the street

We dropped our guns and tried to run and there went all our dreams

Screamin’

This is a robbery now get down on the floor

We’re here for all the shit that you don’t need no more (yeah)

We wanted easy, straight and now we’ll never know

Somebody call my mom and tell her I ain’t coming home

Get ‘em up

Then get down

Reach for the sky

Then go ahead and kiss the ground

Get ‘em up
