People might say that I’m no good
Livin’ like I do
Well, I stake my life on my future
Can you say that you feel like I do?

Now, if there’s any room for doubting
You better look some more
‘Cause I made my mistakes while I know it
I know you’ve heard it all before

But it’s your first time around
Sometimes the runnin’ can sure get you down
It’s your first time around
Don’t get trapped by the life that you found

If you find your life’s at a dead end
Sweatin’ and breathin’ for room
You never crawl before you walk
You gotta take the bad with the good

But it’s your first time around
Sometimes the runnin’ can sure get you down
It’s your first time around (first time around)
Don’t get trapped by the life that you found
The life you found

Oh yeah

People might say that I’m no good
Livin’ like I do (livin’ like you do)
I stake my life on my future
Can you say that you feel like I do?

So if you find your life at a dead end
Sweatin’ and breathin’ for room
You better crawl before you walk
You gotta take the bad with the good

You should be lookin’ for some answers
You think you have them all
I got news for you, brother
Ain’t nobody too big to fall

But it’s your first time around
Sometimes the runnin’ can sure get you down
It’s your first time around (first time around)
Don’t get trapped by the life that you found

It’s your first time, first time around
Sometimes the runnin’ can sure get you down
It’s your first time around (first time around)
Don’t get trapped by the life that you found

It’s your first time around
