- Lyrics -

[verse 1]
some people think that you need to travel wide and far
while others say that you need to try everything bizarre
some people claim that you need to live the life of a star
to prove that you are living the good life

[verse 2]
some people think that your worth is only what you spend
they say that you will be alright as long as your cash flow never ends
some people claim that you need to have all the latest trends
to prove that you are living the good life

[chorus]
but all that matters is that you know what you want
to accomplish in your life
because i know that you can be what you want to be
you can do what you want
just keep your eyes on the prize and just hold on
because confidence is all you really need to life your life in style
so just do what you got to do

[verse 3]
some people think that you need to have expensive shoes
yeah, it’s all a game where your score is based on all the fancy things that you accrue
some people think that it’s all about the win or lose
that determines whether or not you live a good life

[chorus]

[bridge]
you know you got to do what you got to do
you got to do what you got to do
when the road gets tough
you got to keep the trust in yourself

[chorus]
