This is a combination of (arguable) small changes and the addition of the 2nd half of the song's lyrics. I also "added" capitalization, because I started with the nearly-identical lyrics from flashlyrics dot com (which had about 2/3 of the missing lyrics) and then added the last couple of verses. The lyrics I was working from are here:

Lastly, the song credits are missing jillmax as the vocals/performer. Source: https://vgmdb.net/album/20090
Without further ado, here are my changes:
Credits:
words by tim jensen

Changed to:

1st verse:
best stay clear
and hope it's not too bright
if a tricky situation
gets your motor motivation
Changed to:
Best stay clear
And hope he's not too bright
If a tricky situation
Gets your motor motivated
Audible differences.
2nd verse:
run rabbit conformation [synthetic application]
ain't no nine to five
Changed to:
Run rabbit confirmation [ain't no nine to five]
Synthetic application
The lead singer sings "synthetic application" and the back-up singer sings "ain't no nine to five". EDIT: forgot I also changed "conformation" to "confirmation". I hear the latter but it could go either way, imo.
3rd verse:
do what we can
Changed to:
Doin' what we can
I hear "Doin' " but this is up for interpretation. It's also better grammar.
4th verse: (the chorus, but it's easier to just number them all as verses)
save your soul
or you're gonna get do time
Changed to:
Save your soul
Or you're gonna do time
Audible difference, probably a typo.
5th verse:
run rabbit situation [poetic vindication]
think it's time to ride
Changed to:
Run rabbit situation [think it's time to ride]
Poetic vindication
Lead and back-up singer lines were reversed, again.
8th verse:
get 9 [get 9]
Changed to:
Get 9 get 9
It's the same singer saying "get 9" twice.
8th verse:
cuz we're hot
too cold
Changed to:
Cuz we're hot
Too cool
Audible difference.
8th verse:
hyper cyberdelic and go
get nine
Changed to and added:
Hyper cyberdelic and...
Yeah, get 9
And we ain't talkin' bout a gun
Everybody get up
It's time to have some fun
Elevate your mind
Focus on the MC
When I rhyme I tap
Into my energy
Am I dreamin'?
Or is the world reality?
Sometimes I can't tell
It's like I'm trapped in the cell
Tryin' to break free
But everybody out here's
Tryin' to break me
Yet I can't be stopped
I'm gonna keep goin'
And yo, when all else fails
You gotta keep flowin'
In a bad situation
[naaah na na naaah na na nah nah nah naaah]
Yo, what you're facin'
Is a higher power
I'm elevatin' your mind
That's right, get 9, c'mon!
Missing lyrics. I won't bother pointing-out the changes I made from the flashlyrics dot com version.
9th verse: Exact same changes as 3rd verse.
11th verse: Exact same changes as 8th verse, except for the added lyrics.
11th verse:
hyper cyberdelic and go
get nine
Changed to and added:
Hyper cyberdelic and go
Get 9 get 9
Get 9
'Cause we're gettin' groovadelic in the house tonight
Yo hip-hopadelic in the house, alright?
'Cause we're hot
So cool
Take 4
Add 5
Jump into the funk and you
Get 9 get 9
Get 9
That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right
Yo it's alright 'cause we're justified
Saddled-up; bad enough; sanctified
Kickin' in the countdown
Bendin' out all night
Jump into the funk and you
Get 9
I wrote all of these myself. If anyone has a better suggestion for "Bendin' out all night" I'm open to suggestions. After listening to it repeatedly, I settled on a line that matches the uh, "word-sounds" and also kind of makes sense, e.g. from "Kickin' in" to "Bendin' out". I don't actually know what "Bendin' out all night" is supposed to mean, but the same can be said about many of the lines in this song!
The full text of the updated lyrics (minus the credits change) is attached.
