Started out thinking I was too small for the world  A round the way girl  Too naïve and too young to see  I could grab the mic and sing  But I had to conceive and believe to achieve  Beat down the pavement  Roll up my sleeves  Life can be sweet   But the honey ain’t free  I tell you like somebody told me    Gotta keep pushin’ it forward  Gotta keep making hotter  Gotta hit the scene with the lean  Gotta keep makin it happen   Gotta get the gleam for the team  Gotta keep takin it higher  Gotta go after the dream  Gotta keep makin it better  Gotta keep food on the table  Gotta keep on the move on the groove  Gotta stay willing and able  Gotta keep the mood  Gotta stay clean and mean  Gotta stay true cause the stakes is higher  Gotta set the world on fire      Mama always said to me Stephanie  You can be successfully   what you wanna be  And god bless the child that’s got his own  Cause papa was a rolling stone  And if you don’t make it the first time  You really need to try a little harder the second time  Cause Steak ain’t cheap  And the butcher ain’t beat  Stay on your feet  And take to the street    Gotta keep pushin’ it forward  Gotta keep making hotter  Gotta hit the scene with the lean  Gotta keep makin it happen   Gotta get the gleam for the team  Gotta keep takin it higher  Gotta go after the dream  Gotta keep makin it better  Gotta keep food on the table  Gotta keep on the move on the groove  Gotta stay willing and able  Gotta keep the mood  Gotta stay clean and mean  Gotta stay true cause the stakes is higher  Gotta set the world on fire    Wait a minute  Gotta get it  Put it on the paper   so ya’ll can get with it  Push up the level of the mic  So I can spit it  Bump it in the club and say that I did it  The melody, harmony, poetry  Of the symphony  For the streets and beat to keep the heat,  Make your move and see  Peep but don’t sleep    Gotta keep pushin’ it forward  Gotta keep making hotter  Gotta hit the scene with the lean  Gotta keep makin it happen   Gotta get the gleam for the team  Gotta keep takin it higher  Gotta go after the dream  Gotta keep makin it better  Gotta keep food on the table  Gotta keep on the move on the groove  Gotta stay willing and able  Gotta keep the mood  Gotta stay true cause the stakes is higher  Gotta set the world on fire    these lyrics are submitted by sarah
