GET IT RIGHT (Live from Forest Hills)

LETRA

GET IT RIGHT (Live from Forest Hills)

[Intro: Jon Bellion, Lil Mo Mozzarella]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mo Mozzarella
Go get 'em baby

A father figure
A father's love isn't always gentle, it isn't always understood
I had a father went out all day workin'
And when he did come home, he was hard on me
I didn't understand the love hidden behind his lessons
Until one day I did
And as I held his head- and as I held his hand, these are the last words he spoke
A man doesn't need nothin' from no one
Teach your kids before they're grown how to stand up on their own
Never forget who and where you come from
And most important of it all
If you're gonna carry someone's name
Carry it tall, or don't carry it at all
Father Figure

Make some noise for Mo Mozzarella one time
Make some noise for Lawrence the band one time

Clyde, Jordan Cohen, Jonny Koh, Gracie Lawrence
They came to my house one day and played me a record
It was a record from their album
The record inspired me so much, I said
"Man, Clyde, jump on the mic. I wanna flip a sample, this shit is crazy"
We threw Teddy Swims on the record
Make some noise for Teddy

See I told my wife after like 7 years of marriage
I'm like "Listen, the perfect thing, its not gonna work"
"But I promise to meet you in the middle"
And no matter what, well-
Sometimes it feels like
Marriage is impossible
I told my wife for the rest of my life
I'm with you 'till we get it right
This record is called Get It Right
C'mon

[Instrumental]

I don't know if y'all heard the band
We need to do that one more time (Oh, yeah)
Make some noise for Bobby on bass
Listen, this band is crazy

[Instrumental]

Y'all still not listening
One more time, one more time
Nêg on percussion
Let 'em know!

[Intro: Jon Bellion, Clyde Lawrence]
(Oh)
Clyde Lawrence!

[Verse 1: Clyde Lawrence]
You are the mess I made
I was the game, I was the game you played
So can we decide
That we're gonna give it, give it one more try?
We're gonna get it right
Yeah, we'll get it right this time
Oh yeah
Oh, can we decide
That we're gonna give it, give it one more try?
We're gonna get it right
We're gonna get it right this time

[Verse 2: Jon Bellion, Clyde Lawrence]
Sing it
Get it right, get it right this time (We're gonna get it right)
Get it right, get it right this time
I never meant to hit the wall, make you cry
I'd die, I made you cry (Made you cry)
But I'll get it right this

[Chorus: Clyde Lawrence]
Ooh-oh, oh
Can we decide, oh

[Bridge: Jon Bellion, Clyde Lawrence]
(Oh, oh no)
(Oh baby, we're gonna get it right this time)

When I did not have a dollar to my name
Somebody took care of me, gave me studio time, food, and took care of me
Ladies and gentlemen
A legend of Long Island music
One of my mentors, make some noise for Richie Cannata one time

[Saxophone Solo]
Ladies and gentlemen Richie Cannata
Keep it goin'

Make some noise

[Verse: Jon Bellion, Clyde Lawrence]
I remember I was fifteen
Your sister said I was good, but I'd never be Swizz Beats
Fifteen years later, I look up at the billboard and that bitch is Swiss cheese
Bang, bang, pop, pop, pop (Woah, baby, we're gonna get it right this time)
You're still the same girl from Rustic Lane
It says Chanel on your bag, but you're still using coupons at Target for the dinner plates
It's just how you were raised
I just wanna say, I think you're doing pretty great for being shot to space (Woah, baby)
Thanks for taking a ride with me (We're gonna get it right this time)
Thank you for loving me through my selfishness
Going through old pictures that Dexter flicked
My life's a shipwreck without you anchoring and leveling
I know a lot of CEOs with billions and resentful kids
(We're gonna get it right this time)
I also know a lot of famous people that are wishing for an average life
I'm talkin' like, Tums on the night stand at sixty-five
The good shit, babies and sleepless nights
The craziness of man and wife
The good, the bad, the dark, the light (Oh baby)
I'm with you till we get it right
(We're gonna get it right this time)

And when the money gets low (Oh, Lord)
And when the money gets low (Oh, Lord)
We're gonna take them higher (Oh, baby)
We're gonna take them higher (We're gonna get it right this time)
And when they tell you not to have kids (Oh, yeah)
And when they tell you that the marriage is not gonna work (Oh)
What are we gonna do?
We're gonna take them higher
(Oh, baby, we're gonna, we're gonna get it right this time)

[Outro: Clyde Lawrence]
One more
Don't you know?
Can we do it one more time for us, will ya?
Can we get it right this time
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh baby
Get it right, baby
Don't you know we're gonna get it right
For the children we're gonna get it right
