Always seems that you’re late to rise
But you wanna be famous
Only got what you’re poppa gave
But you wanna be recognized
Ooh he can’t buy you what you need
Ooh he can’t buy you what you need
You can try
But you’ll lose
In your mind
It’s not you
You’re just thinkin’ it’s a matter of time
Gussied up for another day
But there’s no one to see ya
Put it out for the world to see
But it’s fallin’ on empty eyes
Ooh he can’t buy you what you need
Ooh they can’t give you what you need
You can try
But you’ll lose
In your mind
It’s not you
What you think you know
It’s not true
It’s alright
You can lose
C’mon now!
(A RIPPING SOLO OCCURS HERE)
You can try
But you’ll lose
In your mind
It’s not you
What you think you know
It’s not true
It’s alright
You can lose
You’re just thinkin’ it’s a matter of time
