You gotta make a sacrifice You gotta make a sacrifice
People say that you're not good enough They try to keep you down (way down, way down) But they don't understand When you're walking up a one way street Trying to make ends meet
It's time to be counted
Finally your day has come Stand up and be someone Finally your day has come Stand up and be someone (be someone, be someone)
You gotta make some plans When your fate is in your hands It's up to you up to you Oohoo it's up to you
Don't make excuses only you know what the truth is I say they're never gonna keep you down
Don't let time and words Get in your way For another day
