Wino - The Winner lyrics

Artist: Coolio Album: Space Jam soundtrack Song: The Winner Verse One: It's time to take you to its full potential Peep this And drop some game on the instrumental and It's a symptom that you listen close and better tell your folks Let the locest loc First things first since your date of birth You've been kinda confused about what your life is worth 50 million times don't wait and go You gotta take control Cause fools don't live to be old You can do anything that you want to do All you got to do is to put your brain into it Take your time and educate your mind In the long run I'm sure you're fine If you walk the walk you can talk the talk But don't wait too long coz life is short And remember, nomatter what they tellin' you If you try, you can be a winner too Chorus (L.V.): Keep on pushing Moving on up Everybody we're moving on up Moving on up You're a winner You gotta keep pushing Moving on up Everybody we're moving on up Moving on up You're a winner Verse Two: Everybody rides with the women boys and girls Each one teach one but we can't save the world All at one day you could take it play by play And once you're on the path Don't you ever go astray You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink You can give a man some wisdom but you can't make him think Coz Stitch in time saves nine The early bird gets the worm But all you can think about is getting a touch-up on your perm If knowledge is power and power is knowledge, then How so many idiots be graduating from colleges? Better to be silent than be thought a fool Than to speak and remove all doubt You know what I'm talking about When opportunity knocks you better let him in and sit him on down And try to be his friend In order to be a professional first you got to be a beginner But if you keep on pushing you can be a winner Chorus Verse Three: Red yellow black white or brown If everybody mind their business we can all get down It all starts at home Cause once they're grown they're gone And once they're on their own their own You got to leave them alone Be a leader, but if you can't be a leader Make sure your leader is a damn good teacher and Imagine if you was in a car and your life was a race Somebody was on your back and you had to give him some space Put the pedal to the metal where it match at low But make sure you stay in your lane And go stroke for stroke We don't need no penalties or eliminations Or disqualifications What we need is penetrations Now what you heard before but sometimes life is what you make it I ain't the one thats known for fakin or perpetratin If Albert was an Einstein And Phillis was a Diller And Michael Jackson was a thriller Then you could be a winner Chorus extended Fade out
