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 you're gonna reap just what you sow,
the debts you make you have to pay (Can you get to that?)

Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that

I recollect with mixed emotions
all the good times we used to have
But you were making preparations for the coming separation
and you blew everything we had

When you base your life on credit
and your lovin' days are done
Checks you signed with a love and kiss'll later come back
signed "insufficient funds"

Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get
I wanna know if you can get to that

When you base your life on credit
and your lovin' days are done
Checks you signed with a love and kiss'll later come back
signed "insufficient funds" (ya'll get to that)

Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get (I wanna know)
I wanna know if you can get to that
Can you get...
