[Hook: Brendon Urie] You gotta keep on keeping on Even with the feeling that you're gonna keep losing You gotta come back strong You gotta keep on keeping on Even with the feeling that you're gonna keep losing You gotta come back strong [Verse 1: Travie McCoy] He spent most of his youth with his head down Chubby, fugly, awkward walk and not much of a talker He was good at setting bad examples but bad at math Crunch time, he kept it moving like the lunch line Working on his salad bars and fruit punch lines His simple triplets had his english teachers tongue tied As he starts pirouette for perfection And Darren Aronofsky Black Swan reflection [Bridge: Travie McCoy] He plucked feather from his back And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward Toward something more, he wasn't sure He plucked feather from his back And watched his bottom limbs, bend forward Toward something more, toward something more [Hook: Brendon Urie]
[Verse 2: Travie McCoy] Raised in a broken home built brick by government, cheese brick Back and forth between parents, making us sea sick On his knees every night, praying for a little change But the tooth fairy was broke and offered little hope He used to stand in front of mirrors With his toothbrush star searching But he ain't have to search far He was smart and made a pact with himself With a smirk and made a vow that one day His dad would never ever have to worry [Bridge: Travie McCoy] [Hook: Brendon Urie] [Verse 3: Travie McCoy] Fast forward a few twenty four hours Little boy turned man, makes good on his promise Just to say we didn't take the trips to the Bahamas Now your boy bank account got a few more commas The hard work payed off, don't it? Plus it feel good when you can say you own it No rent, lease, loan or a mortgage That generator money, no shortage [Bridge: Travie McCoy] [Hook: Brendon Urie]
