look alive
Show some hustle
Look alive is a command to become alert and attentive, often directed at someone who appears sluggish or distracted: Look alive, people—the client will be here in five minutes.
The phrase suggests snapping out of lethargy, as if the person had been moving like the walking dead.
It carries a brisk, sometimes impatient tone.
