Aloe Blacc Lyrics
"Lift Your Spirit"

Intro

C'mon and lift your spirits
And toast a cheer
To all the good times throughout the years
And just remember it ain't where you're from it's where you're at.
It ain't who you know, it's who's got your back.
Now who's got your back?

First verse:

Times have changed everything's strange nothings what it seems. (mmhmm)
Is a friend someone who drops in
or a face on the telephone screen? (mmhmm)
When my chips are down and I'm feeling low who I'm posed to call? (mmhmm)
Who's gonna help me stand on my feet after I fall (mmhmm)

Pre chorus:
So ladies and gentleman
And boys and girls
This one goes to the people who've helped me most in the world.

Chorus:

So lift your spirits
And toast a cheer
To all the good times
throughout the years
And just remember it ain't where you're from it's where you're at.
It ain't who you know, it's who's got your back.
Now who's got your back?
Who's got your back?
It ain't where you're from it's where you're at
And who's got your back,
Who's got your back?
Who's got your back?
It ain't who you know it's who knows you and who's got your back.

2nd verse

I told my secret to a friend I thought I could trust.(mmhmm)
He swore he'd keep on his momma and The Lord above (mmhmm)
Over time I've come to find my business all in the street.(mmhmm)
I'm still trying to forgive the low down double crossing dirty cheat
(mmhmm)

Pre chorus:
So ladies and gentleman
And boys and girls
This one goes to the people who've helped me most in the world.
Hey brothers and sisters
Hey women and men
I dedicate this to the people who was down since way back when.

Chorus
So lift your spirits
And toast a cheer
To all the good times throughout the years
And just remember it ain't where you're from it's where you're at.
It ain't who you know, it's who's got your back.
Now who's got your back?
Who's got your back?
It ain't where you're from it's where you're at
And who's got your back,
Who's got your back?
Who's got your back?
It ain't who you know it's who knows you
And who's got your back.

Who's got your back?
It ain't where you're from it's where you're at and who's got your back
Who's got your back?
Who's got your back?
It ain't who you know but who knows you and who's got your back
