A Step Ahead
The 9th Creation Lyrics

You sit at home and you wonder
You may spend time at home wondering about what to do next.

Why you're always behind
You may feel like you are always behind in life.

Get up and take care of business
You need to get up and be proactive in taking care of your responsibilities.

Don't you sit there and cry (oh, no)
Crying and feeling helpless won't solve your problems.

And you blame the world for all your problems
It's easy to blame others for your problems, but it won't solve anything.

But the world's not to blame, no
The world is not responsible for your problems.

It's you embodied your problems
You are responsible for creating your own problems.

Is the one and the same
Therefore, you are the one who needs to take responsibility for solving them.

Can you stand by and watch while life passes by?
You should not be a passive bystander and let life pass you by.

There's got one truth and I'll tell you why, again
It's important to take action and be proactive in your own life.

You gotta be a step ahead of the rest
To be successful, you need to be proactive and stay ahead of others.

Yeah baby, if you wanna be the best
If you aspire to be the best, you need to have that drive and determination.

You gotta have that wind up to stay on top
You need to have the energy, focus, and motivation to stay at the top of your game.

You gotta listen to what I’m sayin’, yeah-yeah, woo
It's important to listen to advice and guidance from others who have been successful.

You want the power and you're famous
You may desire power and fame.

Get up and get in control
To obtain power and control, you need to be proactive and take action.

Don't wait for longing opportunity
Opportunities don't always come to you- you need to create them yourself.

To come and knock on your door (oh, no)
Sitting around waiting for opportunities to come to you is not an effective strategy.

And you're wrong for thinkin' that you're helpless
You should not believe that you are helpless in your own life.

Guess that's it, all stand in line, no
Believing that you are helpless will lead you to follow others instead of taking control.

You walk so scroll with your head on the roll, no
Relying on others and following the crowd will never place you at the top.

This thing can mess up your mind
Following others too closely may cloud your own thoughts and judgment.

And it's better to lose than to never have tried
It's okay to fail- just make sure you try in the first place.

Yes, that's the truth and I’ll tell you why again
Failure is a part of life and can lead to important lessons and growth.

Don't let a problem make you stop, no, no, no
Problems are inevitable, but don't let them stop you from achieving your goals.

It's too bad, you're always late
Being consistently late to opportunities can hinder your success.

You stand alone and then you're late (yeah, baby)
If you don't take action and rely on yourself, you may miss out on important opportunities.

You're always a dollar short, a day late
By not being proactive, you may miss out on valuable opportunities and experiences.

It's too bad, it's too late (well, well)
When it's too late to act, you'll regret missed opportunities.

No, baby
Don't give up on achieving your goals.

Don't let those problems make you stop
Overcoming problems and challenges is critical to achieving success.

No, no, no, no, well, well
Even when facing challenges, don't give up on your goals.
