Herbie Hancock - Go For It lyrics

When somebody tells me I'm a fool
Or somebody tells me I don't stand a chance
Or somebody tells me I'm uncool
I'm breaking another rule
They're just opening up a door for me
To walk right through and find out who I am
Let me see, what is waiting there for me

When somebody tells me not to try
I go for it
Or somebody tells me I don't fit the plans
I go for it, get on up and go for it
Or somebody tells me 'not so high'
Or give me a reason why
They just opened another door for me
To walk right through and find out who I am
I can see, what is waiting there for me

Go for it, go for it get on up and go for it
Go for it, go for it get on up and go for it
Go for it, go for it (get up)
Get on up and go for it
Go for it, go for it (get up)
Get on up and go for it

When somebody tells me to cool my heels
I get on up and go
Or somebody tells me life ain't just a plan
(I go for it, get on up and go for it)
Or somebody says the way I feel
Is anything less than real
They just open another door for me
To walk right through and find out who I am
I can see, what is waiting there for me

Go for it, go for it (get up)
Get on up and go for it
Go for it, go for it (get up)
Get on up and go for it get up!

Every time I start to get there
Someone hollers 'stop!'
Let me tell you, I will keep on
Going 'til I drop
Every time I start to get there
Someone hollers 'freeze!'
I tell you, no one's ever gonna
Bring me to my knees

Hey, hey! Go for it, go for it, go for it
Get on up and go for it go for it, go for it
Get on up and go ready for the beat but go
Go for it get on up and go for it

Somebody's teaching and somebody's preaching
And somebody's laying it down
Somebody's moving and somebody's grooving
And somebody's fooling around
Somebody's cruising, and somebody's choosing
And somebody's losing their place
Somebody's dealing and somebody's stealing
And somebody's feeling their age
Someone says 'leave it' and
Some say 'believe it'
And somebody thinks it ain't right
Somebody's worrying and somebody's hurrying
And somebody's seeing the light
Somebody's smoking and somebody's joking
And somebody opened their eyes
Somebody's cheerful and somebody's fearful
And somebody's here in disguise
Oh oh oh, I can see
What is there, there for me, I

Go for it, go for it go for it
Go for it, go for it go for it right now
Go for it, go for it (get up)
Get on up and go for it
Go for it, go for it (get up)
Get on up and go for it
Go for it, go for it (get up)
Get on up and go for it
