If you think that you’re strong
Wanna fight well come on
And line up
When the goin’ gets tough
And your talk ain’t enough then come on
And line up
We gotta get up, get out before they get us down
‘Cause livin’ up against the wall, yeah
Has got us locked up
Come on and line up
So don’t be surprised
When they pull the wool over your eyes
Yeah, don’t get funked up
If you got all the stuff
And you can’t get enough
Then line up
If you’re out on a limb
And you wanna come in
Then line up
Your head’s down, sittin’ ’round
Pick yo face up off the ground
And get yourself together baby
And learn to stand tough
Come on an line up
We better get to it
Instead of just standin’ around
It’s time to get down
If you’re playin’ to win
Then your only way in
Is line up
If we all wanna live
Then we all gotta give
Line up
We gotta get up, get out
Before they get us down
‘Cause livin’ up against the wall, yeah
Has got us locked up
Come on and line up
You better get to it
Instead of just standin’ around
Yeah, it’s time to get down
If you got all the stuff
And you can’t get enough
Then line up – line up
If you think that you’re strong
Wanna fight well come on
And line up – line up
