Turn on the radio, listen to that sound
You know why?
'Cause I'm rising up and you're going down
So drink your sorrows away with your beer and your booze
Because I'm gonna win and you're gonna lose
Turn on the radio
Life is like the sea, sounds cliché, but it's true
There are two sides to the metaphor, which was it for you?
Was life peaceful, tranquil? Or even beautiful?
Well then, good for you, the opposite for me is true
Yeah
Having to surf on a piece of driftwood through the stormy waves
Having to hold on for dear life, exhausted till you fall on your face
Many sailors have made it
The shipwrecked have failed it, yeah
But then there's me, sinking in the deep
There was a price and I guess I've paid it
How many times have I heard you dragging me down?
What's all this for? Am I in your way of the pursuit of the crown?
You're just so selfish, already adored and still demanding for more
Climb up the social ladder, but I'll meet you at the top
Turn on the radio
Life is like a struggle that I intend to win,
Gotta stop myself from drowning in the deep sea that I'm in
Toxic naysayers won't get the best of me
Well, too bad for them, 'cause they'll learn not to mess with me, yuh
Having to combat insults ain't an easy task at all
Having to stand on broken legs, scraped knees so soon after a fall
People say I'm a failure
But I'm not gonna languish here
But now there's me fighting hard to win
I see success and it's drawing near
How many times have I heard you dragging me down
I know that I am in your way of the pursuit of the crown
Stop being selfish, no longer adored but still demanding for more
When I climb up the social ladder, you'll never get to meet me at the top -
Turn on the radio
Turn on the radio, listen to that
Listen to that sound
'Cause I'm rising up and you're going
You're going down
So drink your sorrows away with your beer and your booze
Because I'm gonna win and you're gonna lose
