(Verse 1)
I got my head straight
And my mind right
I know what I gotta do
To make it through this life
You have to have high hopes
And big dreams
You gotta push yourself
You have to get out and see everything

(Chorus)
It's what's best for you
And no one else
It's your life to live
So live without doubt
Make the best of what you got
And always strive for more
Do whatever it takes
To keep yourself off the floor

(Verse 2)
You need some true friends
And close family
Have support from them
And you will succeed
If they're true to you
They will always stay
If they aren't
Then let them walk away

(Chorus)
It's what's best for you
And no one else
It's your life to live
So live without doubt
Make the best of what you got
And always strive for more
Do whatever it takes
To keep yourself off the floor

(Verse 3)
Always keep your head on straight
And do what's right

Be an example
And help others take flight
Help not only the poor
But the lost souls too
Be true to everyone
And hope they are the same to you

(Chorus/Ending)
It's what's best for you
And no one else
It's your life to live
So live without doubt
Make the best of what you got
And always strive for more
Do whatever it takes
To keep yourself off the floor
