Can You Get to That - Funkadelic

I once had a life, or rather, life had me

I was one among many, or at least I seemed to be

But I read an old quotation in a book just yesterday

Said, «Gonna reap just what you sow,

The debts you make you’ll have to pay.»

Can you get to that?

Can — you — get

(I wanna know)

I wanna know if you get to that

I recollect with mixed emotions

All the good times we used to have

But you were makin' preparations for the common separations

And you blew everything we had

When you base your life on credit

And your lovin' days are done

The checks you sign with love and kisses later come back

Signed «insufficient funds»

Can — you — get

(I wanna know)

I wanna know if you get to that

When you base your life on credit

And your lovin' days are done

The checks you sign with love and kisses later come back

Signed «insufficient funds»

Yo, get to that

Can — you — get

(I wanna know)

I wanna know if you get to that
