Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No time for dreaming, (Dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up, (Get up), and do my thing, (Woo)
No time for dreaming, (Dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up, (Get up), and do my thing, (And do your thing)
[Verse 2]
Dream while you sleepin', tired of slowly creepin'
Open up your eyes before it's too late
Try a little harder, stop gazin' over yonder
Wake up, you'll get your break
[Verse 3]
No time for dreaming, (Dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up, (Get up), and do my thing, (Woo)
No time for dreaming, (Dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up, (Get up), and do my thing, (And do your thing)
[Verse 4]
While you're sleepin', somebody's schemin'
Try to getta, what I gotta
Stay alert, it's got to work
Or you end up on the spot
[Verse 5]
No time for dreaming, (Dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up, (Get up), and do my thing, (Woo)
No time for dreaming, (Dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta get on up, (Get up), and do my thing, (And do your thing)
[Verse 6]
Hey (And do your thing)
Uh, come on, ooh
[Verse 7]
No time for dreaming, (Dreaming, dreaming)
Gotta make it real, (Yeah) aye
No time for sleepin', (Sleepin', sleepin') no time for creepin'
Gotta make it right, gotta do my thing, (Do your thing) hey
[Verse 8]
Ooh, uh
[Verse 9]
(Gotta do your thing)
Oh, yeah, I made it
Come on (Do your thing)
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye (Do your thing)
