|
Watch it
|
Watch it.
|
Watch it!
|
Go!
|
|
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!
|
On the double
|
|
VERSE 1:
|
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 2:
|
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?
|
So-
|
|
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, one step ahead
|
|
BRIDGE:
|
This dream is holding me tight
|
Keeping me up all night - oh
|
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 -
|
Huh!
|
|
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 it!
|
|
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
|
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
|
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
|
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
|
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
|
(You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
|
Are you listenin'?
|
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
|
(You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
|
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah!
|
|
Don't calm down
|
Bring the energy up
|
Don't depend on lady luck
|
Can't walk - gonna run instead
|
If you want to be one step ahead (I know you do, huh!)
|
|
(Don't calm down, bring the energy up)
|
You gotta be one step ahead,
|
If you know what's good for you
|
If you know what's good for you
|
(Don't calm down, bring the energy up)
|
Don't - no - why rely on lady luck?
|
Don't calm down, bring the energy up!
