Go For It

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you gonna stop or keep on rockin'?
For the better, quicker than the next man
To be the best is the masterplan I've always thought I've got, give it your best shot
Don't ever think about tryin' to stop
Keep reaching, pushing, hoping for perfection
Make up your direction Don't ever stop for a moment
Prove you want it, if you got it strong
Go for it, y'all, not for a minute but all the time
You better do it 'cause I prove the mind (Go for it!) Heart and fire(Go, go, go) I see it in your eyes(Go for it!) Heart and fire(Go, go, go) You got to gather the feeling!
It's time for the rhyme with the boys and the gifted
Listen close, we endure, get lifted
Higher than you ever been before
Get more than you bargained for, for sure Life can be a trip full of trouble
But you gotta stand up and fight back double
Don't let nothing hold you back
Yo, when life says 'stop' you say 'go' Preaching, growing, teaching, knowing
Is that a preacher that each and everyone of you, I'm flowing
Get yourself together, keep movin'
Don't let nothing stop you flowin' Go for what you want, don't hold back'
Cause I know you got the neck
To go further than you've ever been before
For the mind, so close the door (Go for it!) Heart and fire, hey, hey
I see it in your eyes(Go for it!) Hey, hey, hey, heart and fire(Go, go, go) You got to gather the feeling! (Go for it!) (Go for it!) Heart and fire(Go, go, go) I see it in your eyes(Go for it!) Heart and fire(Go, go, go) You got to gather the feeling!
