Hey, man, listen up
You know, when the world starts bringin' you down
And you're in so deep you think you'll never get out
You gotta live it up

Well, I was born on the wrong side of town
My momma said: Son, don't let it bring you down
You gotta do what you can with the stuff that you got
You gotta push, push, push till you get your shot

You work hard from 9 to 5
Tax man leaves you just enough to survive
So when you feel like you're under the gun
That's when it's time to start havin' some fun

Come on, come on
You gotta live it up
Come on, come on
You gotta live it up

When the world starts bringin' you down
And you're in so deep you think you'll never get out
You gotta step back, take a look at yourself
You ain't gonna find it in a wishing well

You play hard, you play to win
Sooner or later, you gotta give in
'Cause you don't get nothin' for free
But here's a little lesson you can take from me

Come on, come on
You gotta live it up
Come on, come on
You gotta live it up, yeah

You play hard, you play to win
Sooner or later, you got to give in
'Cause you don't get nothin' for free
But here's a little lesson you can take from me

Come on, come on
You gotta live it up
Come on, come on
You gotta live it up

You gotta live it up
You gotta live it up
(Live it up, live it up)
Oh, you gotta live it up

Oh, come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
You gotta live it up

(Thanks for coming, everybody)
Oh, yeah
