Lyrics
You've got plans
You have future plans.
You've got schemes
You have strategies in place.
You've got what it takes to realize your dreams
You possess the qualities needed to achieve your aspirations.
You've got guts
You are brave.
You've got brains
You are intelligent.
And a growing reputation which remains unstained
You have a positive reputation that remains untarnished.
You've got connections
You have influential connections.
You've got lots of friends
You have a substantial social circle.
And you can't see no reason why
You see no reason why you shouldn't use your connections to achieve your goals.
You shouldn't use them as a means to an end
You believe in using your connections as a means to an end.
It couldn't hurt you to try
You should try using your connections; it might benefit you.
But if you're looking for a seat at the table
If you aspire to have influence and power.
Nobody ever got there
Achieving influence requires being ruthless rather than playing fair.
By playing it fair
Success often involves tough and unfair decisions.
You must be ruthless, willing and able
You must be ruthless, willing, and able to succeed.
To deny what is true
Deny the truth if it serves your purpose.
If you know what is good for you
Do what benefits you, not necessarily what is morally right.
You've had some hits
You have experienced successes.
You've had some wins
You have achieved victories.
The ability to cover up a multitude of sins
You can hide your mistakes and wrongdoings.
You've got sticks
You have both positive and negative aspects.
You've got stones
You have strengths and weaknesses.
But in the end you're nothing but a pile of dried up bones
In the end, everyone faces mortality.
You've got conviction
You have strong beliefs.
You've got the nerve
You have the courage to act on your convictions.
There's a fire burning in your soul
You have passion and determination.
You've got your pride
You have self-respect.
The respect of your peers
You are respected by your peers.
Still you hunger for the ultimate goal
Despite your achievements, you still strive for the ultimate goal.
And if you're looking for a seat at the table
If you desire power and influence.
Take a good look around at just who's sitting down
Observe those who hold power; they often make questionable decisions.
They're all delusional and very unstable
Those in power may be delusional and unstable.
You will be too
If you pursue power, you may become delusional and unstable too.
Unless you know what is good for you
Be cautious unless you want to face negative consequences.
You've paid your dues, risen up from the ground
You've worked hard and overcome challenges.
By the power of your own free will
Your achievements are a result of your own choices and actions.
You're always climbing, you never look down
You consistently strive for success without looking back.
Now you see the top of the hill
You have reached the pinnacle of your endeavors.
