People I think it's time we stop this runnin' around This world is going too fast we'd like to slow it down Don't let them talk you into doin' what you don't want to Just learn to say no and learn how to refuse Cause you don't owe nobody nothing except God above Go out and go after the things in life you love Don't try to force it if it ain't going smooth The one person that you should never try to fool is you You can make it to the top but only you'll know when to reach And I am not just talking I practice what I preach Maybe you don't do all the things you're supposed to Your boss gives you a job you hate but you smile that's the rule You see yourself playing the game and it's rubbin' you wrong Ah you don't know how much more you'll take how long can it go on Cause you don't owe nobody nothing except God above Go out and go after the things in life you love Don't try to force it if it ain't going smooth The one person that you should never try to fool is you You can make it to the top but only you'll know when to reach And I am not just talking I practice what I preach No I am not just talking cause I practice what I preach
