Some people get lucky Born with a silver spoon Other people got to work real hard A whole life of paying dues One man got a big old house Fast car and swimming pool Another man got a big old wife Ten kids and one bathroom
PRE-CHORUS
Sometimes We're just stuck Behind The velvet rope (x2)
CHORUS
You gotta jump up so high Jump up jump over the rope You gotta jump up so high Jump up jump the rope
Some people get lucky Take a chance to strike it rich Other people will they bet it all lose Ain't life a bitch One man's on the guest list Arrives in a limousine Another man got to stand on line Outside in the pouring rain
BRIDGE
We got the world on a string Wrapped around our fingers We got everything we need We don't need a thing There ain't no rope that can hold us Nothing keeps us down There ain't a rope that can bind us We're gonna jump up off the ground
