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

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

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

Keep on pushing

Moving on up

Everybody we're moving on up

Moving on up

(You gotta be moving)

Everybody we're moving on up

(Don't you let nobody stop you, no, no)

Everybody we're moving on up

Moving on up

You gotta keep pushing

Moving on up

Everybody we're moving on up

Moving on up

Moving on up

(Lord of mercy, we're moving on up)

Moving on up

You're a winner

Moving on up

(Lord of mercy, we're moving on up)

Moving on up

(Keep on pushing)

You gotta keep pushing
