Let me tell you a story of where it all began
Mr. Big Man taking from the Small Man’s hand
Was it fame and glory? Or part of the plan
It’s time to wake up and all take a stand

It’s time you wake up and all take a stand

You wanna find a place in the game
Do what you do and do it again
Some roads lead to fortune and fame
A lot of people out there trying to make a name

You’re living this life and you know it ain’t easy
Some people come and go just like the breeze
Try to stay focused keep your eye on the prize
‘Cause real eyes can realize real lies
Don’t tune in the news or trust what they say
They poison their minds each and everyday
Don’t listen so close to what they have to say
Breaking down the walls with no delay

You wanna find a place in the game
Do what you do and do it again
Some roads lead to fortune and fame
A lot of people out there trying to make a name

Gotta rise up outta all this nonsense
Give yourself a break and leave the cement
Go out to the lake, trees, river or mountains
Breath in deep and try to meditate
What’s it gonna take to make you think different?
‘Cause the way your thinking is driving me insane
Sending the youths all the wrong messages
Using their minds worse than drugs in their veins

You wanna find a place in the game
Do what you do and do it again
Some roads lead to fortune and fame
A lot of people out there trying to make a name
