Songtext
One, two, three, four
In the ghetto, just the other day
I heard a mother turn to her son and say
"Remember where you're going
Remember who you are
There's no end to accomplishment
No distance is too far"
You gotta get on up (Get on up)
Push a little harder
Educate your mind, get a little smarter (Get a little smarter)
'Cause there's room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
It's only the bottom that's crowded out (It's crowded out)
I said there's room (Room)
Way up at the top (At the top)
Just keep on climbing (Room)
Don't you stop (Don't you stop)
Times may be hard, the road may be narrow
But there's nothing you can't do with your eye on the spеar
So take the time that you spеnt on crying
And use the same time and spend it on trying
(Got a problem) What problem?
(It's only in your mind)
There's a light (Bright light)
Only you can make it shine
'Cause there's room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
It's only the bottom that's crowded out (It's crowded out)
I said there's room (Room)
Way at the top, y'all (At the top)
Just keep on climbing (Room)
Oh, don't you stop (Don't you stop)
You just gotta get on up
Push a little harder
Educate your mind, get a little smarter (Get a little smarter)
'Cause there's room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
It's only the bottom (Room)
That's crowded out (At the top)
I said there's room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
Just keep on climbing, don't you stop (It's crowded out)
Oh
Don't stop your head, sit and talk about it
Educate your mind, climb out of it
Oh yeah (Room)
I wanna talk about it (Room)
I wanna talk about it, yeah
Baby (Room)
It's all up to you (Room)
Nobody else can make your dreams come true
You gotta help yourself (Room)
You gotta help yourself (Room)
You gotta keep on trying (Room)
You gotta keep on climbing, climbing, climbing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Children of today, leaders of tomorrow
What you decide could be happiness or sorrow
Before you turn to fight your brother
Remember the words of your loving
Mother, she said (Hey, hey, hey, woo)
There's room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
There's room way up at the top
She said there's room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
Plenty of room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
You gotta keep on trying (Room)
You gotta keep on trying
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah (Room)
Plenty of room (Room)
What you say? (Room)
Way up at the top
I said there's room (Room)
Way at the top, y'all (At the top)
It's only the bottom (Room)
That's crowded out (At the top)
Plenty of room (Room)
At the top (At the top)
Just keep on climbing (Room)
Don't you stop (Don't you stop)
Hey, hey, yeah (Room)
Oh, yes, there is (Room)
Keep on trying (At the top)
You can make it (Room)
You can make it (At the top)
'Cause there's room (Room)
At the top, yeah (At the top)
It's only the bottom (Room)
That's crowded out (At the top)
I said there's room (Room)
Plenty of room at the top, y'all (At the top)
You gotta keep on climbing (Room)
Don't you stop (Don't you stop)
Oh yeah (At the top)
Oh yeah, yeah (At the top)
