Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective

It's been a long and uphill journey
Get to where I am today
It's been real tough and I'm still learning
That working hard's the only way

For happiness in this life
Success and things must sacrifice
For success with your desires
You just gotta aim high 
You gotta
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
You gotta
Put it in perspective (yes, you do)
Put it in perspective

The road I had me was so winding
Reaching where I had to go
It wasn't easy for me finding
It's not what you are, but who you know

But for happiness in this life
Success and things must sacrifice
For success with your desires
You just gotta aim high
You gotta
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
You gotta
Put it in perspective (yes, you do)
Put it in perspective

Oh, bend your minds
And you will surely see
That everyday
There's a new opportunity
Oh

(Put it in perspective)
(Put it in perspective)
Put it in perspective
(Put it in perspective)
Put it in perspective

You gotta
Put it in perspective
You gotta
Put it in perspective (put it in perspective)
You gotta
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective
Put it in perspective (put it in perspective)
