Intro:
   If you wanna be somebody,
   if you wanna go somewhere,
   you better wake up and pay attention.
  
   Verse 1:
   So, you think you've got the answers
   to all that lies ahead?
   Well, in my mind, I thought the same one time.
   And I hear you spouting much talk
   'bout how you ain't being led.
   Ain't no one telling you
   what to do.
   But attitude will catch up with you
   and keep you from your destiny.
  
   Chorus:
   If you wanna be somebody,
   if you wanna go somewhere,
   you better wake up and pay attention.
   When the time is now or never
   to make your dreams come true,
   you gotta wake up and pay attention.
  
   Verse 2:
   I ain't buying no more lying,
   'cause truth don't cost a thing.
   Denying what's inside's too much to pay.
   It's 'bout sweating without stressing.
   There ain't no other way.
   You know you can't get much without giving.
   Oh, expect from yourself and
   you'll respect yourself.
   You control your destiny.
  
   Chorus:.....
  
   Bridge:
   Time to wake up, ev'rybody.
   Time to wake up, children.
   Wake up, ev'rybody.
   Now, ooh.
  
   Chorus:....
