I'm sick and tired of everybody
Trying to tell me what to do
If I'm in need of your advice
Then surely I would come to youI didn't get in this position
Just by happenstance
I worked my bones beyond my limit
Just to have half a chanceIt matters how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't wanna lie, steal
Or cheat your way to the topIt matters what your people think
You represent your family
Well, that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or loseWhy don't we see who is the wizard
And play some one on one?
I think you'll find me sympathetic to ya
When I've wonIt seems you've got the brawn
To beat me if this was all it takes
But I've got skills to pay the bills
And punish each of your mistakesIt matters how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't wanna lie, steal
Or cheat your way to the topIt matters what your people think
You represent your family
Well, that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or loseOne hundred years from now
They'll look back on this day
Where you going to be?
And what are they going to say?I see my name in lights
The people call my name
It's all up to you
Will you find your way?It matters how you play the game
It matters that you can take the pain
You don't wanna lie, steal
Or cheat your way to the topIt matters what your people think
You represent your family
Well, that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or loseIt matters what your mother thinks
You represent your family
Well, that's just one more reason to see
That it matters whether you win or lose
