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 'cause life is short
 And remember, no matter what they tellin' you
 If you try, you can be a winner too
 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
 Everybody rides with the women, boys, and girls
 Each one teach one but we can't save the world
 All at one day you gotta 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 wisdom but you can't make him man feel
 Stitchin' time says nine
 The early 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

 Everybody we're moving on up

 Red, yellow, black, white or brown
 If every mind their business, we can all get down
 It all starts and on
 'Cause once they're grown, they're gone
 And once they're on their own
 You got to leave them alone
 Be a leader but 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 pedal to the metal and mash out, loc
 But make sure you stay in your lane
 And go stroke for stroke
 We don't need no penalties or eliminations or disqualifications
 What we need is penetrations
 Now I know you heard this before but sometimes life is what you make it
 I ain't the one that's known for faking or perpetratin'
 If Albert was an Einstein
 And Phyllis was a Diller
 And Michael Jackson was a thriller
 Then you could be a winner
