Go for It - Herbie Hancock

When somebody tells me I’m a fool

Or somebody tells me I don’t stand a chance

Or somebody tells me I’m uncool

I’m breaking another rule

They’re just opening up a door for me

To walk right through and find out who I am

Let me see, what is waiting there for me

When somebody tells me not to try

I go for it

Or somebody tells me I don’t fit the plans

I go for it, get on up and go for it

Or somebody tells me 'not so high'

Or give me a reason why

They just opened another door for me

To walk right through and find out who I am

I can see, what is waiting there for me

Go for it, go for it

Get on up and go for it

Go for it, go for it

Get on up and go for it

Go for it, go for it (get up)

Get on up and go for it

Go for it, go for it (get up)

Get on up and go for it

When somebody tells me to cool my heels

I get on up and go

Or somebody tells me life ain’t just a plan

(I go for it, get on up and go for it)

Or somebody says the way I feel

Is anything less than real

They just open another door for me

To walk right through and find out who I am

I can see, what is waiting there for me

Go for it, go for it (get up)

Get on up and go for it

Go for it, go for it (get up)

Get on up and go for it

Get up!

Every time I start to get there

Someone hollers 'stop!'

Let me tell you, I will keep on

Going 'til I drop

Every time I start to get there

Someone hollers 'freeze!'

I tell you, no one’s ever gonna

Bring me to my knees

Hey, hey!

Go for it, go for it, go for it

Get on up and go for it

Go for it, go for it

Get on up and go

Ready for the beat but go

Go for it

Get on up and go for it

Somebody’s teaching and somebody’s preaching

And somebody’s laying it down

Somebody’s moving and somebody’s grooving

And somebody’s fooling around

Somebody’s cruising, and somebody’s choosing

And somebody’s losing their place

Somebody’s dealing and somebody’s stealing

And somebody’s feeling their age

Someone says 'leave it' and some say 'believe it'

And somebody thinks it ain’t right

Somebody’s worrying and somebody’s hurrying

And somebody’s seeing the light

Somebody’s smoking and somebody’s joking

And somebody opened their eyes

Somebody’s cheerful and somebody’s fearful

And somebody’s here in disguise

Oh oh oh, I can see

What is there, there for me, I…

Go for it, go for it

Go for it

Go for it, go for it

Go for it right now

Go for it, go for it (get up)

Get on up and go for it

Go for it, go for it (get up)

Get on up and go for it

Go for it, go for it (get up)

Get on up and go for it
