Space Jam movie - The Winner lyrics

Song by Coolio<br /><br>

[Verse One:]<br>

<br>

It's time to take you to its full potential<br>

Peep this<br>

and drop some game on the instrumental and<br>

it's a symptom that you listen close and better tell your folks<br>

let the locest loc<br>

first things first since your date of birth<br>

you've been kinda confused about what your life is worth<br>

50 million times don't wait and go<br>

you gotta take control<br>

those fools don't want to be home<br>

you can do anything that you want to do<br>

all you got to do is to put your brain into it<br>

take your time and educate your mind<br>

in the long run I'm sure you're fine<br>

if you walk the walk you can talk the talk<br>

but don't wait too long coz life is short<br>

and remember, nomatter what they tellin' you<br>

if you try, you can be a winner too<br>

<br>

[Chorus (L.V.):]<br>

<br>

Keep on pushing <br>

moving on up<br>

everybody we're moving on up<br>

moving on up<br>

you're a winner<br>

you gotta keep pushing<br>

moving on up<br>

everybody we're moving on up<br>

moving on up<br>

you're a winner<br>

<br>

[Verse Two:]<br>

<br>

Everybody rides with the women boys and girls<br>

each one teach one but we can't save the world<br>

all at one day you could take it play by play<br>

and once you're on the path<br>

don't you ever go this way<br>

if your leader wants to holla but you can't make him plead<br>

you can give a man some wizdom but you can't make him man feel<br>

coz <br>

stichin time says nine<br>

dirty bird gets the worm<br>

but all you can think about is gettin attention for your firm<br>

if knowledge is power and power is knowledge, then <br>

how so many idiots be graduating from colleges<br>

better the B-side than the be gotted fool<br>

than to speakin to move all out<br>

you know what I'm talking about<br>

when opportunity knocks you better let him in and sit him on down<br>

and try to be his friend<br>

in order to be a professional first you got to be a beginner<br>

but if you keep on pushing you can be a winner<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Verse Three:]<br>

<br>

Red yellow black white or brown<br>

if every mind their business we can all get down<br>

it all starts and on<br>

coz once they're grown they're gone<br>

and once they're on their own their own<br>

you got to leave them alone<br>

be a leader and if you can't be a leader <br>

make sure your leader is a damn good teacher and<br>

imagine if you was in a car and your life was wasted<br>

somebody was on your back and you had to give him some space<br>

put the better to the matter where it match at low<br>

but make sure you stay in your lane <br>

and go strof to strof<br>

we don't need no penaltys or eliminations<br>

or disqualifications <br>

what we need is penetrations<br>

now what you heard before but sometimes life is what you make it<br>

I ain't the one thats known for fakin or perpetratin<br>

if Albert was an Einstein<br>

and Phillis was a Diller<br>

and Michael Jackson was a thriller<br>

then you could be a winner<br>

<br>

[Chorus extended]<br>

[Fade out]<br>

<br>
