Get Up or Get Down by Illogic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I
Been living life inside a box the last few years and it appears ain’t nothing changed but the size
Realizing legacy is destiny
Immortalized fulfillment lies behind my son’s eyes
At times I got complacent ‘cause I got a few classics under my belt but maybe you didn’t know
And that’s exactly why I gotta murder every verse I write and kill it every time I rock a show
I didn’t know that I was sleepwalking ’til I woke up and I was a couple of laps behind
The soldiers that I started this race with
I’ve tasted victory, now I can smell the finish line
Mind made up, triumph is in the distance
I’m on a mission, it’s just running through my veins
‘cause once the name Illogic rolls off your lips, your existence will never be the same

[Hook]
Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down down

Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down
Up, down
Up, down
Up, down
Up, down

[Verse 2]
You
Would rather be a demolition man than a contractor on a construction site
‘cause it’s easier to say that something’s destroyed than to stand by if it’s constructed right
See I’ve accepted all the pressure ‘cause I’m cold
God’s given me a diamond’s plight
I know he’ll never give me anything I can’t handle so he handed me the sunlight
And said son bright, now I use my right to right wrongs right when I write songs nice
No matter how many laps lost, I shine bright
Keep my grip on the mic tight like a python bite

Venomous ridiculous sentences, I
Keep marching to my own drum, don’t ask why
My parchment is phoenix feathers, I’m so fly
So it’s easier to keep my head to the sky

[Hook]
Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down down

Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down
Up, down
Up, down
Up, down
Up, down

[Verse 3]

Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down down

Get up or get down

Get up or get down down down down down

Get up or get down
Get up or get down
Get up or get down down down down
Up, down
Up, down
Up, down
Up, down
Up
