If you wanna be somebody
If you wanna go somewhere
You better wake up and pay attention
Hey...
So you think you've got the answers
To all that lies ahead
Well, in my mind i thought the same one time
And i hear you spouting much talk
'bout how you ain't being lead
Ain't no one telling you what to do
But attitude will catch up with you
And keep you from your destiny

Chorus:
If you wanna be somebody
If you wanna go somewhere
You better wake up and pay attention
When the time is now or never
To make your dreams come true
You gotta wake up and pay attention

I ain't buyin' no more lyin'
'cause truth don't cost a thing
Denyin' what's inside's too much to pay
It's 'bout sweatin' without stressin'
There ain't no other way
You know you can't get much without much givin'
Oh, expect from yourself and you'll respect yourself
You control your destiny

Chorus x 2

Time to wake up, everybody
Time to wake up, children
Wake up, everybody
(ooh...)

Chorus

If you wanna be somebody (wake up)
Go somewhere
Wake up and pay attention
When the time is now or never
To make your dreams come true
You gotta wake up and pay attention
