Lyrics for Album: Let Yourself Go - The '70s Albums, Vol. 2 - 1974-1977 [2011]
(Harold Beatty, Brian Holland, Eddie Holland)
In the ghetto just the other day
I heard a mama turned to her son and say
Remember where you're going
Remember who you are
There's no win to accomplishment
No distances too far
But you gotta get on up (get on up)
Push a little harder
Educate your mind, get a litttle smarter
(get a little smarter)
'Cause there's room (room)
Hey, at the top (at the top)
It's only the bottom that's crowded out
(It's crowded out)
I said there's room (room)
Hey, at the top, y'all (at the top)
Just keep on climbing
Don't you stop (don't you stop)
Times may be hard
The road may be narrow
But there's nothing you can do
Put your eye on a sparrow
So take the time you spend on crying
And use the same time in spending on trying
(got a problem) What problem?
(it's only in your mind)
There's a light (bright light)
Only you can make it shine
'Cause there's room (room)
Oh, at the top, y'all (at the top)
It's only the bottom that's crowded out
(it's crowded out)
Plenty of room (room)
Way up at the top (at the top)
Just keep on climbing (climbing, climbing, climbing)
Don't you stop (don't you stop)
Oh, don't drop your head
You just gotta get on up
Push a little harder
Educate your mind, get a little smarter
(get a little smarter)
'Cause there's room (room)
Hey, at the top (at the top)
It's only the bottom top, oh, that's crowded out
(way up at the top)
I said there's room (room)
At the top, y'all (at the top)
Just keep on climbing, climbing, climbing
Don't you stop (it's crowded out)
Don't drop your head, sit and talk about it
Educate your mind, cry about walking
Whoa oh oh, yeah (room)
I wanna talk about it
I wanna talk about it, yeah
Baby, it's all up to you
Nobody else can make your dreams come true
You gotta, you gotta help yourself
You gotta, you gotta keep on trying
You gotta keep on climbing, climbing, climbing
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooohh, oo-oo-oo-ooh!
Children of today, leaders of tomorrow
Want to decide to be happy to dissolve the sorrow
(talk to the people)
Before you turn to fight your problems
Remember the words of good loving mothers
She say, there's room at the top
It's only the bottom that's crowded out
I said there's room (room)
At the top
You gotta keep on climbing (climbing, climbing, climbing)
Plenty of room (room)
Way at the top, y'all (room)
It's only the bottom (room)
That's crowded out
I said there's room (room)
At the top (room)
Just keep on climbing, climbing, climbing
Don't you stop (way up at the top)
Ohh yeah (room)
Oh ohhh yeah, yeah (room)
You gotta make it, you gotta make it
(climbing, climbing, climbing)
Oh, oh, yeah
