I live in a vacumn, no air
I`m stuck in back room, somewhere
But it don`t bother me amyway `cos I know
Goin` to get out soon, I got places to go
There`s a big world waiting for me
I just need a break, someone to believe
but right now I`m just tryin` to survive
Livin` rough, shackin` up, hangin` tough, shapin` up
Get the picture, get the scene I paint fo ryou
Ah, but it`s worth it, all the pain I`m goin` thru
Beat the sidewalk, hear the fast talk, everyday
I don`t worry `cos I know I`m on my way
The view from my window, ain`t too good
Should be some mail for me soon from Hollywood
When the phone rings, could be big things, anytime
Operator is there somethin` wrong with this line
Rejections, I`ve had a few
Happens to the best, it ain`t nothin` new
Still I keep on swingin` away
S`gonna be a breakthrough any day
Keep hanging in there, that`s my philosophy
And soon I`ll find my big chance, wait and see
Some make it fast, but they just come and go
Me, I`m built to last and that`s one thing I know
Those straight life people, they don`t understand
Yeah they just want it all laid out and planned
Me, I`m not like them, I do things my own way
I know I`m gonna break thru any day
Life in the city, can get you down
There`s amillion guys out there all snooping around
You gotta think you`re the best, beat out all the rest
And fight your way up to the top of the town
There`s a big world waiting for me
I just need a break, someone to believe
Right now I`m just tryin` to survive
I`m know I`m gonna get there, dead or alive
I`m going to reach for the moon
And all the stars too
I`m gonna get there real soon, I know I will
I want the universe, and all the planers too
