Coolio - The Winner Lyrics
Verse one:Its time to take you to its full potentialPeep thisAnd drop some game on the instrumental andIts essenial that you listen close and better tell your folksThat the loc has spokeFirst things first since your date of birthYouve been kinda confused about what your life is worth50 million times your weight in goldYou gotta take controlCause fools dont live to be oldYou can do anything that you want to doAll you got to do is to put your brain into itTake your time and educate your mind andIn the long run Im sure youll find thatIf you walk the walk you can talk the talkBut dont wait too long cuz life is shortAnd remember, no matter what they tellin youIf you try, you can be a winner tooChorus (l.v.):Keep on pushingMoving on upEverybody were moving on upMoving on upYoure a winnerYou gotta keep pushingMoving on upEverybody were moving on upMoving on upYoure a winnerVerse two:Everybody rise men and women boys and girlsEach one teach one but we cant save the worldAll at one day you got to take it play by playAnd once youre on the pathDont you ever go a strayYou can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drinkYou can give a man some wizdom but you cant make him man feelCuzStich in time saves nineEarly bird gets the wormBut all you can think about is gettin attention for your permIf knowledge is power and power is knowledge, thenHow so many idiots be graduating from collegesBetter the b-side than the be gotted foolThan to speakin to move all outYou know what Im talking aboutWhen opportunity knocks you better let him in and sit him on downAnd try to be his friendIn order to be a professional first you got to be a beginnerBut if you keep on pushing you can be a winnerChorusVerse three:Red yellow black white or brownIf every mind their business we can all get downIt all starts and onCoz once theyre grown theyre goneAnd once theyre on their own their ownYou got to leave them aloneBe a leader but if you cant be a leaderMake sure your leader is a damn good teacher andImagine if you was in a car and your life was wastedSomebody was on your back and you had to give him some spacePut the petal to the metal and match at lowBut make sure you stay in your laneAnd go strof to strofWe dont need no penaltys or eliminationsOr disqualificationsWhat we need is penetrationsNow what you heard before but sometimes life is what you make itI aint the one thats known for fakin or perpetratinIf albert was an einsteinAnd phillis was a dillerAnd michael jackson was a thrillerThen you could be a winnerChorus extendedFade out
