Spoken:

You want something done

You gotta do it yourself

Yeah i think this is gonna be another one of those funky ones



If i was you, and you were me

You'd wanna be winning

If you want something bad, y'all

You gotta wanna give your all

'cause i believe so much in we

And know we're not kidding

If you feel the same as me y'all

You gotta wanna take the ball



Now i found out that nothin' is given

Don't know where the cards may fall

All i know is that we've gotta get it

We've gotta make it on our own



Well i guess we're gonna have to take control

(all on our own)

If it's up to us we've got to take it home

(all on our own)



Now can't you see that all we need

To be a go-getter

Gotta make your own decisions

You gotta go for what you know

There comes a time in our lives

You wanna be bigger

Gotta keep keep on pushing

You gotta learn to take control, yeah



Now i found out that nothin' is given

Don't know where the cards may fall

All i know is that we've gotta get it

We've gotta make it on our own



Hook



Rap:

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold

They're called the ghostbusters and they're in control

Had 'em throwin' a party for a bunch of children

While all the while the slime was under the building

So they packed up their group, got a grip cam equip

Grabbed the proton packs off their backs, and they split

Found out about vigo, the master of evil

Try to battle my boys, that's not legal



They're in control

You, you, you know it

I said they're in control

Y-y-you know it

Y-y-you know it



Hook 2 times



Y-y-you know it

Y-y-you know it
