if you wanna be somebody 

if you wanna go somewhere 

you betta wake up and pay attention(hey, hey, ow....)



so you think you've got the answers 

to all lies ahead well in my mind i thought the same one time

and i hear you spoutin wat you talkin about how you aint bein it 

aint no one tellin you what to do

but attitude will catch up with you 

and keep you from your destiny



(chorus)

if you wanna be somebody 

if you wanna go somewhere 

you betta wake up and pay attention

when the time is now or neva

to make your dreams come true

to wou gotta wake up and pay attention



(aww yea) cryin no more lyin cuz truth dont cost a thing

denyin once inside's to much to take

its bout sweatin without stressin there aint no otha way

you know you cant get much out without much pain

oh expect from yourself and youll respect your self

you can chose your destiny



(chorus)x2



time to wake up everybody



(chorus till end)
