People, I think it's time we stop this runnin' around This world is going too fast and we'd like to slow it down Don't let um talk you into doin' what you don't want to Just learn to say no and learn how to refuse Cause you don't owe nobody nothing except God above Go out and go after the things in life you love Don't try to force it, if it aint going smooth The one person that you should never try to fool is you You can make it to the top but only you'll know when to reach And I am not just talking, I practice what I preach Maybe you don't do all the things you're supposed to Your boss gives you a job you hate but you smile, that's the rule You see yourself playing the game and its rubbin' you wrong Ah, you don't know how much more you'll take, How long can it go on Chorus No, I am not just talking, cause I practice what I preach
