The Winner

The Winner - Coolio

It's time to take it to its full potential

Beat that

And drop some game on the instrumental and

It's essential that you're listenin' close

I'm gonna tell your folk that the loc is smoke

First things first since your date of birth

You've been kinda confused about what your life is worth

50 billion times your weight in gold

You gotta take control

'Cause fools don't let it be owned

You can do anything that you wanna do

All you gotta do is put your brain into it

Take your time and educate your mind

In the long run I'm sure you'll find

That if you walk the walk you can talk the talk

But don't wait too long 'cause life is short

And remember no matter what they tellin' you

If you try you can be a winner too

Keep on pushin'

Movin' on up

Everybody we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

You're a winner

You gotta keep pushin'

Movin' on up

Everybody we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

You're a winner

Everybody rise men and women boys and girls

Each one teach one but we can't save the world

All in one day you got to 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 man think

A stitch in time says nine

The early bird gets the worm

But all you can think about is gettin' an essential number

If knowledge is power and power is knowledge then

How so many idiots be graduating from colleges

Better to be silent and be thought a fool

Than to speak and remove all doubt

Know what I'm talkin' 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 veteran first you

Got to be a beginner

But if you keep on pushin' you can be a winner

Keep on pushin'

Movin' on up

Everybody we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

You're a winner

You gotta keep pushin'

Movin' on up

Everybody we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

You're a winner

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 on their own

You gotta leave 'em alone

Be a leader but if you can't be a leader

Make sure your leader is a d**n good teacher and

Imagine if you was a car and life was a race

If somebody was holdin' your back then

You would have to give 'em some space

Put the pedal to the metal and match out 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

I know you heard this before but

Sometimes life is what you make it

Ain't the one that's known for fakin' or perpetratin'

If albert was a' einstein

And phillis was a diller

And michael jackson was a thriller

Then you can be a winner

Keep on pushin' now

Movin' on up

Everybody we're movin' on up take

Your place in this world

You gotta keep movin' keep on pushin'

Everybody we're movin' on up

Don't you let nobody stop you no no

Everybody we're movin' on up you got

Your ways movin' on up I got my ways

You gotta keep pushin'

Movin' on up

Everybody we're movin' on up

I don't mind leavin' here to show

The world we have no fear

'Cause we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

Lord have mercy we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

You're a winner

'Cause we're truth from the biblic lines

We're gonn' move on up

Movin' on up

Lord have mercy we're movin' on up

Movin' on up

Keep on pushin'

You gotta keep pushin'

Lord you're a winner

Movin' on up
