If you wanna be somebody, if you wanna go somewhere
You better wake up and pay attention
Hey hey, oh mm hey hey, no ooh ooh, mm doo doo doo doo, Ah
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
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
Denying 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
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
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
You gotta wake up and pay, time to wake up everybody
Spoken: Y'all let's do this
Time to wake up children, wake up, everybody
Time to wake up, children, wake up everybody
Na ooh
Be somebody, go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention
Pay attention, when the time is now or never
To make your dreams come true, you gotta wake up and pay attention
Hey, if you wanna be somebody, ooh, wake up and pay attention
Hey ooh, yeah, when the time is now or never
Pay attenteion, if you wanna go somewhere, wake up, now or never
To make your dreams come true
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
Your dreams come true, you gotta wake up
If you wanna be somebody, be somebody
If you wanna go somewhere, wake up and pay attention
