The Winner |
| It’s time to take you to its full potential |
| Peep this |
| and drop some game on the instrumental and |
| it’s a symptom that you listen close and better tell your folks |
| let the locest loc |
| first things first since your date of birth |
| you’ve been kinda confused about what your life is worth |
| 50 million times don’t wait and go you gotta take control |
| those fools don’t want to be home |
| you can do anything that you want to do all you got to do is to put your brain into it take your time and educate your mind |
| in the long run I’m sure you’re fine |
| if you walk the walk you can talk the talk |
| but don’t wait too long coz life is short |
| and remember, nomatter what they tellin’you |
| if you try, you can be a winner too |
| Chorus (L.V.): |
| Keep on pushing |
| moving on up everybody we’re moving on up moving on up you’re a winner |
| you gotta keep pushing |
| moving on up everybody we’re moving on up moving on up you’re a winner |
| Verse Two: |
| Everybody rides with the women boys and girls |
| each one teach one but we can’t save the world |
| all at one day you could take it play by play |
| and once you’re on the path |
| don’t you ever go this way |
| if your leader wants to holla but you can’t make him plead |
| you can give a man some wizdom but you can’t make him man feel |
| coz |
| stichin time says nine |
| dirty bird gets the worm |
| but all you can think about is gettin attention for your firm |
| if knowledge is power and power is knowledge, then |
| how so many idiots be graduating from colleges |
| better the B-side than the be gotted fool |
| than to speakin to move all out |
| you know what I’m talking about |
| when opportunity knocks you better let him in and sit him on down |
| and try to be his friend |
| in order to be a professional first you got to be a beginner |
| but if you keep on pushing you can be a winner |
| Verse Three: |
| Red yellow black white or brown |
| if every mind their business we can all get down |
| it all starts and on coz once they’re grown they’re gone |
| and once they’re on their own their own |
| you got to leave them alone |
| be a leader and if you can’t be a leader |
| make sure your leader is a damn good teacher and |
| imagine if you was in a car and your life was wasted |
| somebody was on your back and you had to give him some space |
| put the better to the matter where it match at low |
| but make sure you stay in your lane |
| and go strof to strof |
| we don’t need no penaltys or eliminations |
| or disqualifications |
| what we need is penetrations |
| now what you heard before but sometimes life is what you make it I ain’t the one thats known for fakin or perpetratin |
| if Albert was an Einstein |
| and Phillis was a Diller |
| and Michael Jackson was a thriller |
| then you could be a winner |
| Chorus extended |
| Fade out |
