One Step Ahead
Watch it
Watch it.
Watch it!
Go!
RAP:
Always gotta be one step ahead
You know where you're lying
When you make your own bed
You'll never end up in the red
So watch your step, one step ahead
INTRO:
Energy up!
Bring the energy up!
On the double
VERSE 1:
Steppin' on toes is a common routine
Sneakin' up from behind
You won't get anywhere
Dancin' out of time
If you're living up to expectations
You may as well be dead
Gotta go for it - gotta go for it
Always gotta be one step ahead
So -
CHORUS:
Don't calm down
Bring the energy up
Don't depend on lady luck
Can't walk - you just run instead
If you want to be one step ahead
VERSE 2:
Look over your shoulder
And predict what's to come
You're not feeling life if you're simply numb
So don't be dumb - grab the brass ring
You really can't depend on anything
Gotta make it happen all by yourself
Why rely on anyone else?
So-
CHORUS
Don't calm down
Bring the energy up
Don't depend on lady luck
Can't walk - why not run instead?
If you wanna be one step, one step ahead
BRIDGE:
This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me up all night - oh
It's not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think I'll get it?
Think I may, say I might - oh -
This dream is holding me tight
Keeping me tossing and turning
It's not out of reach - just out of sight
Do you think I'll get it?
With the way I'm burning
I just might!
It's time to rap -
Huh!
RAP:
Always gotta be one step ahead
You know where you're lying
When you make your own bed
You'll never end up in the red
So watch it!
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
(You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
Are you listenin'?
Don't calm down, bring the energy up
(You gotta go for it, go for it, go for it)
Yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah!
Don't calm down
Bring the energy up
Don't depend on lady luck
Can't walk - gonna run instead
If you want to be one step ahead (I know you do, huh!)
(Don't calm down, bring the energy up)
You gotta be one step ahead,
If you know what's good for you
If you know what's good for you
(Don't calm down, bring the energy up)
Don't - no - why rely on lady luck?
Don't calm down, bring the energy up!
