He Got That Ambition Baby
by Keith Ho
All the things I know right now, if I only knew back then. I dreamed a dream in time gone by. Makin’ my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I’m homebound. Trying not to hear but they talk so loud. Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt. Tell me, how I’m supposed to breathe with no air. Because the drugs never work. I’m slipping into the lava. And the whole thing turns out wrong. You’re never gonna fit in much kid. All the people in the crowd, grab a partner, take it down. If you want it, you already got it. If you thought it, it better be what you want. If you feel it, it must be real. Work it harder, make it better. This ain’t gon be easy. You got to be startin’ somethin’. Hold your dream, don’t ever let it go. It’s easy to do, just follow these steps.
ONE
Make the most of all this stress. Lay down a list of what is wrong. Relax. You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you find you get what you need. You’ll be walking on sunshine
TWO
Be through accepting limits, cause someone says they’re so. Maybe this time, for the first time, you’ll be breaking free. Soaring, flying, there’s not a star in heaven that you can’t reach.
THREE
This is the bottom line, it’s true. See, you don’t gotta be alone. We’re all in this together. Just call on your brother when you need a hand. We can do it. Just like a chick in the casino, they’ll never give you up, never let you down, never run around and desert you.
If you wanna be the very best, like no one ever was, put your name on the dotted line. Say you will, take a chance, make a change and come closer till you are the champion. That’s what you get when you let your heart win. A dream, a fantasy. It’s a long way to the top, so don’t stop movin. Don’t stop believing.
