Yo, this is a testYou say this, when I say that
You say this, when I say that
You say this, when I say that
You say this, when I say thatBut Im not with that
So step back or kiss my
'Cos I wont be held back
So dont fight, dis or piss me off
'Cos Im not soft or weak
Running down in the maze of the dayThis is a new phase
Dont be commercial or sell out
Or get the hell out of this business
But I wont be caught in that net of suckers
And glass people
Weak, beaten down and feebleSociety probably wants me to give up
Society probably wants me to give up
As I live up to be my best
In a test, a fight for death
As I fight for my very last breath
Etc and etcGotta be strong but wait a minute
Now, could I be better? Now, could I be better?
Well, only I know
Well, what about you? Or do you have a clue?Couldve, wouldve, shouldve, its too late
Couldve, wouldve, shouldve, its too late
Why you waiting, laying? Sit there, moveBe your own person
Be your own person
Be your own person
Be your own personWake up, make up your mind
Seek the knowledge that you will find
Be your own personWait for it from the weak
'Cos they make the people level
And with you, make a team
So believe and be your best
'Cos this is a testGo for the top chart, rock with all your heart
Non- stop, stay up, go
Deal with whats going on in this crazy worldMan, woman, child, boy, girl, insane to the playing
Love music power pain, be what you gotta do
Get the knowing attitude 'cos this is the test
That we suggestBe your own person
Be your own person
Be your own person
Be your own person'Cos this is a test
'Cos this is, this is, this is, this is, this is
This is, this is a test, test, test, test, test, test
Test, test, test'Cos we all know who is the real victim
Society does not want them picked on
Labeled or staked, dont raise his guilt
But dont miss your boot and kick themFaceless in the morning in their urban plight
Felt like a symbol with every situation
Any one tour already overcrowded
Project nation, more inflationBetter your damn situation
But how can you better your situation
If you have no occupation?Ten of us said, watch the Rolodex center
See how many different schools you can enter
Theyre out turning in the pit but lifes a bitch
The worlds unconcerned, Ill tell you why it stuck in a ditch
You own the key to the damn city but its a damn pityWake up
Wake up
Wake up
