what for,
do you wake up at four,
you wake up and work,
hustle and sweat?
so one day you could be set,
to have money and fame?
Do you think this is a game?
I have always believed,
that as long you work hard,
you will get what you want,
only later to learn,
that hard work isn't enough,
and you have to be smart,
and to know the right people,
to get there on the pinnacle,
on the top of the world,
where the air is so strong.

So let me ask you what for,
do you wake up and four,
and you do all the work?
It is never for you,
but the people around you.
