took a trip on a bus that i didn't know
met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco
said truth comes back when you let it go
seems complicated cause it's really so simple
walkin' down yonge street on a friday
no doubt there's a brighter day
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
haa. check out the crabs in the bucket
it's like this. it's like fly in a room
swear this clone been havin' a ball
claimin' themselves just before last call
tic-a-tic-a-toc tic-a-tic-a-toc
smoking gun put these fools on the run
i know it's not that simple
i know it's not that hard
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
haa. check out the crabs in the bucket
fit when the microphones lit
i take it higher like a bird on a wire
i'll never cause i'm just moving on up
and send him back to transylvania
i avoid that side of the ghetto
will settle the puppets like jepeto
if mirrors where created by sand
then i'm looking in the water for reflections of man
understand the minds above time when it's empty
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
no time to get down cause i'm moving up
haa. check out the crabs in the bucket
