[Verse]
You can't bring it down
Unless you're under it, yeah
You can't bring it up
Unless you're on top, oh yeah

You just can't
Keep pretending, yeah
Making believe
You're what you're not, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got

[Verse]
I once made a star
Because I paid his dues, yeah
But easy come
Is easy lose, oh yeah

Some lives are lived
Within a silver spoon, yeah
If you're the one
You better wake up soon, oh yeah
[Chorus]
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got

[Verse]
You can't bring it down
Unless you're under it, yeah
You can't bring it up
Unless you're on top, oh yeah

You just can't
Keep pretending, yeah
Making believe
You're what you're not, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got

[Verse]
I once made a star
Because I paid his dues, yeah
But easy come
Is easy lose, oh yeah
Some lives are lived
Within a silver spoon, yeah
If you're the one
You better wake up soon, oh yeah

[Chorus]
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got, no oh
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got

You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop at what you got, no oh
You've got to go through it to get to it
You can't stop
