You’ve got the big house, you’ve got that fast car ​You never work much, how did you go far? Nobody knows you, you’re such a big star Rockin’ the silk suit, flashin’ that new bling ​Nobody loves you, how can you be king? You seem to know how, to get that next thing I wish I was you, ​Uncompromisingly complicated, Oh I wish I was you, ​There’s no consequences, I wish I was you Got reservations, all over this town ​Things get expensive, whenever you’re ‘round Your world is different, it’s just a playground Fresh fakeration, brought forth to fool us ​You ain’t got no one, no one that you trust The truth will rise up, but you’ll find it unjust I wish I was you, ​I’d see the world as only I could I wish I was you, ​There’s no reaction, I wish I was you Oh, I wish I was you Oh, I wish I was you Where did you come from? How did you get here? ​When there’s a party, somehow you appear You’re just amazing, you’ve made that real clear Your life looks perfect, well from a distance ​You’ve got your servants, and your assistants Up close you’re lonely, that’s no existence ​ I wish I was you, ​Uncompromisingly complicated I wish I was you, ​You got no consequences, I wish I was you I wish I was you, ​I’d see the world as only I could I wish I was you, ​There’s no reaction, I wish I was you I wish I was you, ​But then I’d wake up and never feel good I wish I was you, ​You’re all alone, I’m glad I’m not you

Ya know you wanna make a change in your life ​But all ya seem ever do is whine and cry How ya gonna get right in your mind? ​When half the time you still think you’re doin fine All new possibilities You must give up your old hostilities Don’t think that you’re the only one ​There’s more to life than just having fun When ya gonna get it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya wanna do it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya gonna see it? ​​Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya wanna be it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now Ya gotta a dozen reasons why things can’t be done ​When you’re doin’ nothing whatcha teach your son? How ya gonna get right in your soul? ​I am here to tell ya it's in your control Take charge of your abilities ​You must give up your insecurities Don’t bow out and quit again ​You can learn, win and start to comprehend When ya gonna get it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya wanna do it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya gonna see it? ​​Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya wanna be it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya gonna get it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya wanna do it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya gonna see it? ​​Ain’t No Time Like Now When ya wanna be it?​​ Ain’t No Time Like Now

You’ve got the blues and don’t know why You’ve seen the truth but not the lies Your youth is gone, let ignorance go Embrace the world and watch you grow A closed mouth, you know it don’t get fed A closed up mind just makes a worthless head Just take the time and free up your mind A street degree you know it’s worth your time All you need is Funk Therapy Guaranteed to solve your life’s mysteries Always free, Funk Therapy A street degree that cures mediocrity It’s time to wreck your sheltered life Get out the house and feel alive Come take a cruise just down the street Where everything’s not what you see A closed mouth, you know it don’t get fed A closed up mind just makes a worthless head Just take the time and free up your soul There’s more to learn, there’s so much more to know All you need is Funk Therapy Guaranteed to solve your life’s mysteries Always free, Funk Therapy A street degree that cures mediocrity A closed mouth, you know it don’t get fed A closed up mind just makes a worthless head Just take the time and learn not what to say A street degree will make a better way All you need is Funk Therapy Guaranteed to solve your life’s mysteries Always free, Funk Therapy A street degree that cures mediocrity

All I see when I’m walkin’ down the street ​People everywhere just the same as you and me Thinkin’ for themselves and they’re doin what they can ​They love their families, ever since the world began Those Lines​​ They just made up a new distraction Those Lines​​ Yeah they demand that we take action Those Lines​​ Well they conquer and divide us Those Lines​​ But they don’t change what is inside us Who decides, if you’re in or if you’re out? ​I’m sure it’s someone who don’t know what we’re about Them’s that have the gold well their makin’ all the rules ​We have had enough of ‘em treatin’ us like fools Those Lines​​ Well they conquer and divide us Those Lines​​ But they can’t change what is inside us Those Lines​​ They’re just a made up demarcation Those Lines​​ But they don’t speak on our salvation Time has come for the powerless to rise ​Come together and, we won’t have to compromise Let’s erase the lines that we didn’t help to make ​And force the powerful to live up to their mistakes ​ Those Lines​​ They use to conquer and divide us Those Lines​​ They never changed what is inside us Those Lines​​ They are just old and antiquated Those Lines​​ But they won’t last we’re motivated Those Lines​​ They just made up a new distraction Those Lines​​ Yeah they demand that we take action Those Lines​​ They’re just a made up demarcation Those Lines​​ But they don’t speak on our salvation
