The Winner Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Coolio

Verse One: 

It's time to take you to its full potential 

Peep this 

and drop some game on the instrumental and 

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

let the locest loc 

first things first since your date of birth 

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

50 million times don't wait and go 

you gotta take control 

those fools don't want to be home 

you can do anything that you want to do 

all you got to do is to put your brain into it 

take your time and educate your mind 

in the long run I'm sure you're fine 

if you walk the walk you can talk the talk 

but don't wait too long coz life is short 

and remember, nomatter what they tellin' you 

if you try, you can be a winner too 

Chorus (L.V.): 

Keep on pushing 

moving on up 

everybody we're moving on up 

moving on up 

you're a winner 

you gotta keep pushing 

moving on up 

everybody we're moving on up 

moving on up 

you're a winner 

Verse Two: 

Everybody rides with the women boys and girls 

each one teach one but we can't save the world 

all at one day you could take it play by play 

and once you're on the path 

don't you ever go this way 

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

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

coz 

stichin time says nine 

dirty bird gets the worm 

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

if knowledge is power and power is knowledge, then 

how so many idiots be graduating from colleges 

better the B-side than the be gotted fool 

than to speakin to move all out 

you know what I'm talking about 

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

and try to be his friend 

in order to be a professional first you got to be a beginner 

but if you keep on pushing you can be a winner 

Chorus 

Verse Three: 

Red yellow black white or brown 

if every mind their business we can all get down 

it all starts and on 

coz once they're grown they're gone 

and once they're on their own their own 

you got to leave them alone 

be a leader and if you can't be a leader 

make sure your leader is a damn good teacher and 

imagine if you was in a car and your life was wasted 

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

put the better to the matter where it match at low 

but make sure you stay in your lane 

and go strof to strof 

we don't need no penaltys or eliminations 

or disqualifications 

what we need is penetrations 

now what you heard before but sometimes life is what you make it 

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

if Albert was an Einstein 

and Phillis was a Diller 

and Michael Jackson was a thriller 

then you could be a winner 

Chorus extended 

Fade out,
