I live in a vacumn, no air

I'm stuck in back room, somewhere

But it don't bother me amyway 'cos I know

Goin' to get out soon, I got places to go

There's a big world waiting for me

I just need a break, someone to believe

but right now I'm just tryin' to survive

Livin' rough, shackin' up, hangin' tough, shapin' up



Get the picture, get the scene I paint fo ryou

Ah, but it's worth it, all the pain I'm goin' thru

Beat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk, everyday

I don't worry 'cos I know I'm on my way



The view from my window, ain't too good

Should be some mail for me soon from Hollywood

When the phone rings, could be big things, anytime

Operator is there somethin' wrong with this line



Rejections, I've had a few

Happens to the best, it ain't nothin' new

Still I keep on swingin' away

S'gonna be a breakthrough any day



Keep hanging in there, that's my philosophy

And soon I'll find my big chance, wait and see

Some make it fast, but they just come and go

Me, I'm built to last and that's one thing I know



Those straight life people, they don't understand

Yeah they just want it all laid out and planned

Me, I'm not like them, I do things my own way

I know I'm gonna break thru any day



Life in the city, can get you down

There's amillion guys out there all snooping around

You gotta think you're the best, beat out all the rest

And fight your way up to the top of the town



There's a big world waiting for me

I just need a break, someone to believe

Right now I'm just tryin' to survive

I'm know I'm gonna get there, dead or alive



I'm going to reach for the moon

And all the stars too

I'm gonna get there real soon, I know I will

I want the universe, and all the planers too
