Walking forward you just fall behind
not knowing where you're goin
or if ya gonna get there on time
you hear ryan bowers bust a phat rhyme
opportunity is knocking on the door
will you answer or just ignore
buy your ticket and jump on the train
heading for a lifetime of money and fame
searching through the books you find a look
big baggy clothes and funky hair
give the children one heck of a scare
scare them so bad they pull out their hair
Walking forward you just fall behind
not knowing where youre goin
or if ya gonna get there on time
you hear ryan bowers bust a phat rhyme
you sit and wonder what you're doing here
singin, skankin, and drinkin root beer
Then you go and get your first gig
play the guitar and dance a lil jig
Hop on the plane and go on tour
People in the crowd scream and shout for more
the applause from the crowd is your award
then you bust out in a phat lil chord
(chord)
Walking forward you just fall behind
not knowing where youre goin
or if ya gonna get there on time
you hear ryan bowers bust a phat rhyme
Your face is on the cover of Rolling Stone
People you dont even know try to call you on the phone
You get all A's in Mr. Dunkles Classes
gettin A's in great big masses
Now you go make your way back to kennett High
Everybody thinks your supa fly
Arent ya glad you answered the door
Now you'll be a star forever more
Walking forward you just fall behind
not knowing where youre goin
or if ya gonna get there on time
dont steal signs you know its a crime
