People, I think it's time we stop this runnin' around
A D A E
This world is going too fast and we'd like to slow it down
D E A D
Don't let um talk you into doin' what you don't want to
D D/C# D/B D/A G E
Just learn to say no and learn how to refuse
D E A
Cause you don't owe nobody nothing except God above
D E A
Go out and go after the things in life you love
D E A
Don't try to force it, if it aint going smooth
D G B E
The one person that you should never try to fool is you
D E A D
You can make it to the top but only you'll know when to reach
D G E A
And I am not just talking, I practice what I preach
Maybe you don't do all the things you're supposed to
Your boss gives you a job you hate but you smile, that's the rule
You see yourself playing the game and its rubbin' you wrong
Ah, you don't know how much more you'll take, How long can it go on
Chorus
No, I am not just talking, cause I practice what I preach
