(Chorus) It's the secret of success It's the secret of success It's the secret It's the secret of success It's the secret (Verse 1) You wanna listen, sit back, relax to what I'm sayin' The deal is at lodge so you best be payin' Attention closely cause this is mostly a part of our lives My people and the struggle for success For the future for the present this is our time We gotta message go for you use it for the headline This is a story, a story for the few who didn't know about a glory If I see you in a wax museum, I just burn you Put you in the side bowl toss and turn Cause I'm sick and tired my people don't get no recognition And who for the permit think about it It's a mission (Chorus)X2 (Verse 2) Hey yo baby think you're with me and I hold it A problem here I take the stand here and explain this for one I preserve on a higher level Make a decision with precision I finger I take the message to the youth And drop it down in the rap style Make sure my girls get a profile
And speaking about success is in today's vocabulary If you respect yourself, everything will be dandy like candy Cause the secret's not with me it's in your mind I knew you could make it get played in prime time Have a go and strive for the secret of your own success (Bridge part) Shabadaba doo doo doo (repeat scat)X3 The secrets of success (repeat)X2 (Verse 3) The crew's the twos step back and get a good view I'm hype that's right this time we have a break through So get ready for an explosion The mic touch my palm that I'm loading Beats and rhymes and topics to cruise you With the wisdom to just move you So get wise time to use your brain child Shoe ‘em that stereotype comes from a weak pod Go on what you know, do what you do Cause the secret of success come from within you It's time to be alert, don't sleep on this And if you're in it to win, yo, you're gonna find success (repeat the part of bridge) (breakdwon) (repeat the part of bridge and fading)
