RAP:
Always gotta be one step ahead
You know where you`re lying
when you make your own bed
You`ll never end up in the red
So watch your step, one step ahead
INTRO:
Energy up!
Bring the energy up!
VERSE:
Steppin` on toes is a common routine
Sneakin` up from behind
You won`t get anywhere
Dancin` out of time
If you`re living up to expectations
You may as well be dead
Gotta go for it - gotta go for it
Always gotta be one step ahead
So -
CHORUS:
Don`t calm down
Bring the energy up
Don`t depend on lady luck
Can`t walk - you just run instead
If you want to be one step ahead
VERSE:
Look over your shoulder
And predict what`s to come
You`re not feeling life if you`re simply numb
So don`t be dumb - grab the brass ring
You really can`t depend on anything
Gotta make it happen all by yourself
Why rely on anyone else?
CHORUS
Don`t calm down
Bring the energy up
Don`t depend on lady luck
Can`t walk - why not run instead?
If you wanna be one step ahead
BRIDGE:
This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me up all night
It`s not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think I`ll get it?
Think I may, say I might - oh -
This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me tossing and turning
It`s not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think I`ll get it?
With the way I`m burning
I just might!
It`s time to rap -
RAP:
Always gotta be one step agead
You know where you`re lying
when you make your own bed
You`ll never end up in the red
So watch your step, one step ahead
REPEAT RAP
Don`t calm down, bring the energy up
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
