Ain't Gotta Get Bent

from Mode of Being by DreamStates

lyrics

You want something and a lot of it,
wanna chalk up a lofty accomplishment,
stone cold, like a boss, just rockin' it, say (yeah)
You want everyone to flock to it,
you're gonna gotta be a lot more than confident,
gettin' bad like Mike, moonwalking it, say (yeah)
You want a high trajectory? You're gonna need a
quality that's complimentary,
get futuristic, next century, say (yeah)
Lock it in like it's meant to be,
just give it a listen, it's a reverie,
get lost in the dance when you find the beat, say (yeah)(

(CHORUS)
Put some shake on those shoulders, we're gonna shimmy off that stress,
let's get that attitude adjusted, sweeten up that salty mess.
Ya ain't gotta get bent (outta shape) (4x)
It's hard to live when you're livid, hard to party when you pout,
let's get the best of you on that dancefloor,
and let me hear you shout
"Ya ain't gotta get bent" (outta shape) (4x)

You wanna take a break well, make the time
you wanna live the life, just give it a try.
You wanna beat the heat, or turn the tide?
You wanna walk the walk, forget the steps, 'cause on this song we slide.
It's not a lot but what we've got is good,
you wanna make the most of this, you should.
It isn't where you go, it's how you move,
so get ready everybody, here comes round two!

(CHORUS)

I see you bending, why's everybody bending?
Ya'll keep that up, those backs gonna need mending,
and I caught ya slouching, all pent up and grouching,
ya'll might look mighty out of place when we all start bouncing.
You've got that tension from your toes on up,
just let it go little by little.
You might know of this rug I cut,
unravel it riddle by riddle.
We're all about that old-school strut,
no getting all rigid permitted,
now overflow that funky cup (woo!) I'mma tell ya what to do:

(CHORUS)
