man friday & jive junior - picking up sounds (alternate version) lyrics

[verse 1]
i see a child in the run down place
cuts and bruises all over his face
he’s scr+pping in the street, never take no jibes
always one step ahead, gotta stay alive
his mumma asked ”why?”, he don’t give in
he’s so proud, you know he needs to win
n0body can tell him when to stop
so he’s just keeping going til the day he drops

[chorus]
can you take it? can you make it? can you take it this time around? (’round)
can you take it? can you make it? can you take it this time around? (’round, ’round, ’round)
i can take it, i can make it, i can take it this time around
i can take it, i can make it, i can take it this time around
get down

[verse 2]
bobbing and wеaving at the sound of the bell
will you stay on your feet? only timе will tell
and if you get knocked down, don’t take no jibe
get up, only the strong survive
taking time out, in between rounds
and getting advice but only picking up sounds
easy to say, “slow down, take a rest”
but you’ll never be happy with second best (best, best)
[chorus]
can you take it? can you make it? can you take it this time around? (around, around)
can you take it? can you make it? can you take it this time around? (’round, ’round)
i can take it, i can make it, i can take it this time around
i can take it, i can make it, i can take it this time around

[verse 3]
born on a friday when the sky turned black
it’s hard to grow up straight with the devil on your back
temptation everywhere, read a book
take a drug, mug a man, steal a car, sn+tch a purse
the boys in blue getting framed walk the beat
but the law of the jungle rule my street
a different matter for us to stay alive
’cause we did not deal in no nine til five

[chorus]
can you take it? can you make it? can you take it this time around? (around, ’round)
can you take it? can you make it? can you take it this time around? (around, around)
i can take it, i can make it, i can take it this time around
i can take it, i can make it, i can take it this time around

[verse 4]
nine to five was not our scene
we were were bad, we were mad, we were tough and mean
down at the gym learning how to fight
and taking our sk!lls onto the streets at night
now we got more lives than a p+ssy cat
more street credibility than a sewer rat
braver than conan, tougher than chad
we’ll put the flip in your cardiac groovogram
stay cool, everywhere, even in h+ll
we’ve got a longer life than duracell
[verse 5]
i met a fortune teller called gypsy lee
she said, “you’re going on a long journey”
i thought she was bibbling babbling bull
but then we got deported to istanbul
i don’t mind travelling on a train
but it freaks me out to fly by plane
i had no choice, i had to go
so we departed from heathrow
sitting down in my plane seat
listening to sounds and tapping my feet
when the captains voice came over loud and clear
“there’s a technical hitch but don’t you fear
we’re having trouble with engine one
but don’t let that spoil your fun”
well that’s all i need is another delay
i hope i get there some time today
“we’ve got a little problem with engine two
but please don’t let that bother you”
my god, i don’t believe this rap
the captain’s coming with so much cr+p
“uh oh, there goes engine three
to be frank, now it worries me”
well the plane is flying really slow
all we need now is number four to go (go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go)
