[Verse 1]
Got a little girl, little and low
She used to love me but she don't no more
She gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

[Verse 2]
Got a little girl, she stays upstairs
Make a living by putting on airs
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, man
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

[Verse 3]
Front door shut, back door too
Blinds pulled down, what' cha gonna do?
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

[Verse 4]
Got a little girl, her name is Ball
Give a little bit, she took it all
I said step it up and go-Yeah, man
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

[Verse 5]
Me an' my baby walking down the street
Telling everybody 'bout the chief of police
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

[Verse 6]
Tell my woman I'll see her at home
Ain't no lovin' since she been gone
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

[Verse 7]
Well, I'll sing this verse, ain't gonna sing no more
Hear my gal call me and I got to go
Step it up and go-Yeah, man
Can't stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go
