it's a hard world
I live in a vacumn, no air I'm stuck in back room, somewhere But it don't bother me amyway 'cos I know Goin' to get out soon, I got places to go There's a big world waiting for me I just need a break, someone to believe but right now I'm just tryin' to survive Livin' rough, shackin' up, hangin' tough, shapin' up Get the picture, get the scene I paint fo ryou Ah, but it's worth it, all the pain I'm goin' thru Beat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk, everyday I don't worry 'cos I know I'm on my way The view from my window, ain't too good Should be some mail for me soon from Hollywood When the phone rings, could be big things, anytime Operator is there somethin' wrong with this line Rejections, I've had a few Happens to the best, it ain't nothin' new Still I keep on swingin' away S'gonna be a breakthrough any day Keep hanging in there, that's my philosophy And soon I'll find my big chance, wait and see Some make it fast, but they just come and go Me, I'm built to last and that's one thing I know Those straight life people, they don't understand Yeah they just want it all laid out and planned Me, I'm not like them, I do things my own way I know I'm gonna break thru any day Life in the city, can get you down There's amillion guys out there all snooping around You gotta think you're the best, beat out all the rest And fight your way up to the top of the town There's a big world waiting for me I just need a break, someone to believe Right now I'm just tryin' to survive I'm know I'm gonna get there, dead or alive I'm going to reach for the moon And all the stars too I'm gonna get there real soon, I know I will I want the universe, and all the planers too.
