I take a step back and try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth
Take a step back try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth

I knuckle on down and keep doin what im doin
Deviation from the path may lead to rack and ruin
Maybe not of the financial kind
But a breakdown of the soul the body or the mind
I formulate a contingency plan
So if all else fails I still know where I stand
Who knows it might turn out better
But if not at least I bought the t-shirt and the sweater

There may be trouble ahead
But I can make it through
There may be trouble ahead
So this is what I do

I take a step back and try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth
Take a step back try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth

I look to the future and reflect on the past
Drawing my conclusion from the first till the last
I plan for the worst but always strive for the best
Hoping that my wisdom will take care of the rest
I work methodically at a steady pace
Safe in the knowledge that the tortoise is the one who wins the race
I practice what I preach and I preach what I know
Reaping the rewards of all the seeds that I sow

There may be trouble ahead
But I can make it through
There may be trouble ahead
So this is what I do

I take a step back and try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth
Take a step back try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth
Take a step back try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth
Take a step back and try to be a better man
Never gonna be a clone of another man
Look before I leap and stay true to myself
So I dont become a slave to the wealth
