[Valeria Andrews]

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

[Ryan Toby]

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

[fades out]
