Sweat my youth away  With the rules we have to play  Speeding through your magazine  Pistol, pavement, no T.V.  (Talk and talk)  No time (nighttime)  Burnt inside, burnt inside, burnt inside    Here comes the daylight, here comes my job  Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob  Here comes the nighttime, here comes my role  Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul    Now here comes my job  Credit bleeding with the mob  Dreams become ideals  No one knows the way I feel  (Love to love)  Daytime (right time)  All my life, all my life, all my life    Here comes the daylight, here comes my job  Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob  Here comes the nighttime, here comes my role  Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul    Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul    As you face the wall  God make it this time or never at all  Before your chance has gone  Captain this lead role, and you'll be the one  (Shine and shine)  This time (my time)  Make me free at last  Make me free at last  Make me free at last    Here comes the daylight, here comes my job  Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob  Here comes the nighttime, here comes my role  Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul    (Repeat)
