J&B on the ROX wasn't videotaped tonite as planned. We postponed until tomorrow becuz Joe (finally) got the drum machine from Jim K_______. We spent some time playing around and a bit of time actually getting something programmed for "Upinnit." Joe still hasn't memorized even half of his part.

UPINNIT

INTRO:

I'm gettin up innit
minute after minute
yknow I'monna win it
cuz I'm gettin up gettin up gettin up gettin up
gettin up innit yeah I'm gettin it loose
gettin the juice gettin ready 4 use
gettin in2 place just 2 get in your face
comin down from outer space 2 get in2 the rat race 
I'm gettin up innit
minute after minute
yknow I'monna win it
cuz I'm gettin up innit

don't look back don't think of the past
cuz the moment is now & it's gonna last
4 4ever if U just get innit
I mean the moment not the minute
the stakes R high -- life eternal
so get it get innit forget about the journal
of the days and weeks that came B4
look around now & reckon the score
who's the winner	yknow that I am
who can do it   	yknow that I can
bust it finer faster furious
so cold now that it's deemed injurious
at any speed by my man ralph nader
he's my kind of consumer crusader
but I don't need that man's protection
Bcuz I'm so rapt w/my own connection

CHORUS:

I'm gettin up innit
minute after minute
yknow I'monna win it
cuz I'm gettin up gettin up gettin up gettin up gettin up innit
minute after minute
yknow I'm onna win it
cuz I'm gettin up innit

it can B defined as all in your mind
that's bo-ring & I don't have the time
2 mess with shit that don't intrigue me
look at your watch if U don't believe me
while you're tickin off all the seconds slippin by
I'll be gettin high -- ywanna know why?
cuz this is the story of my ascension
& how I made it 2 another dimension
broke on thru 2 the other side
scoped the place & came back alive
& now here I am again 2 bear witness
2 the magnitude of my hipness
C there -- exactly what l'm sayin
just the simple words that my mind is playin
and my lips are spittin em but not even that
the cold blown naked full frontal attack (jack)

(CHORUS)

(heavy on the 1)
The rapture ecstacy yes I dig it
ywon't find no one who ain't more widdit
U can test this -- you'll C that it's ready
but under your skin you're a still little unsteady
it's heady -- the thick sweet smell of the smoke
you'd laugh a little longer if U got the joke
but you're goin 4 broke -- you're losin ground
you're bound 2 slow down when U see the profound
lack of pleasure that's in your life
ycome around once don't come around twice
ygot 2 make the most of each minute
B4 U get over -- ygot 2 get innit

(CHORUS)

you're...
seekin a beacon on a cold dark night
ygot 2 get it right -- gotta get in the light
U gotta fight -- just to keep it in sight
but U never come close cuz you're 2 uptight
dissatisfaction is what U got
the cold & the dark R bound 2 B your lot
it's all 4 naught -- & your philosophy's confusen
the path U been choosin you'll always B losin
yneed 2 lay it down & B born again
the place is right now and the moment is when
but don't get me wrong cuz -- I ain't no christian
I'm a convert of my own religion
the only way you're ever gonna win it
a fresh funky jam called gettin up innit

(CHORUS)
