Takin' It On Uptown

[00:25.19] Walking through the fog on a cold, cloudy night (yes, I am)
[00:36.07] Looking through the smog that surrounds the morning light, yeah
[00:46.55] The shades of brown, it gets me down, exactly like my life
[00:52.18] I don't deserve this hand I'm dealt; a flush in spades of strife, yeah
[00:58.41]
[01:08.84] I'm tired of speeches that are nothing but a bore (baby doll)
[01:18.52] So I'm rounding up my broken things, heading on out that door-oh-oh
[01:29.32] Without no lag, I've packed my bag of discontented frowns
[01:34.58] And hopping number 86, the first train that is freedom bound
[01:40.07] Uptown, yeah
[01:42.54] Uptown, gonna get it all out
[01:45.36] Uptown
[01:47.65] Uptown, inside my brain
[01:50.54] Uptown
[01:52.80] Uptown
[01:55.56] Uptown
[01:58.21] Uptown
[02:01.27] Got my bag of many frowns, and I'm taking it on uptown, yeah
[02:09.73] Takin' it on up, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[02:15.38] Talkin' 'bout a-
[02:16.69]
[02:26.41] Big city lights
[02:28.04] Funkier nights, baby
[02:31.92] Happier days
[02:33.11] Are going my way
[02:37.17] It should be right
[02:39.67] But I'm still uptight
[02:42.55] Time I better put down
[02:44.71] And get moving on, hey, tell me 'bout a-
[02:49.23]
[03:09.47] I'm through with the aggravation
[03:11.92] Don't deserve this degradation
[03:14.49] I'm putting all those negatives down
[03:17.03] To hop the train that's freedom bound
[03:19.62] Uptown, yeah, gonna get it
[03:22.37] Uptown, gonna do it all night
[03:24.99] Uptown, man, help me
[03:27.60] Uptown, move on, get down
[03:30.31] Uptown, yeah, ooh
[03:32.82] Uptown, yeah, help me moving on
[03:35.42] Uptown, good job
[03:38.20] Uptown, inside my brain
[03:41.29]
