if you wanna be somebody
if you wanna go somewhere
you better wake up and pay attention(hey, hey,
ow....)

so you think you've got the answers
that all lies ahead well in my mind i thought the same
one time
and i hear you spoutin what you talkin about how you
aint bein' it
aint no one tellin' you waht 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 better wake up and pay attention
when the time is now or never
to make your dreams come true
to you gotta wake up and pay attention

(aww yea) crying no more lyin cuz truth don't cost a
thing
denying 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 you'll respect your self
you can chose your destiny

(chorus)x2

time to wake up everybody

(chorus till end)
