Lyrics
Uh, it’s been a rocky road; seen a lot o' things
Flew a million miles, sometimes on broken wings
I’ve learned that Photoshop can make the grass green, but in real life,
it’s not the way it seems
Ignorance is bliss, lies are sweet
The truth is bitter, but it’ll set you free
I lost a lot of sleep, and I even paid a fee to sit down and look up to people
that’s just as tall as me
I used to think I was handed a disadvantage, 'cause nothing I would do would
end up in the way I planned it, but
God can put your heart under pressure until it breaks (breaks), and when you
think it’s fallin' apart, it falls in place
I was head of my class, school o' hard knocks
But I know that the pain, just made me strong as an ox
I walked the stage, and the graduation is finished
But I know that this is just the beginnin', because
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (I'm, I’m ready;
I’m, I’m, I’m ready)
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (I'm, I’m ready,
ready to take on the world)
And when everything’s falling apart, I’m not givin' up (nah, uh uh! uh uh!)
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (take, take,
t-take)
Take on the world (take on the world, take on the world, take on the world,
the world)
Uh uh, yeah, I planted seeds, and watched a garden grow
Congratulations! Let’s make a toast!
It didn’t happen fast; I had to wait
Had to pull some weeds, and find a couple snakes
Lookin' back at school, and all my dumb mistakes (haha)
Wasted time and money; credits I didn’t take
And all my teachers that lied to me to my face
They said, «The skies' the limit», but now I’m in outer space
Where the lights are so bright and the music is so loud
I hear the fans cheer and my family is so proud, but
One thing I’ve learned about jumpin' out in the crowd
Is that those that live you up will eventually let you down
So when everything is crazy, I’m tired and feel lazy
Remember Jesus went to the cross, and He died to save me (thank you, Lord!)
The world can be against me, hate me and try to break me
But I know that God will not forsake me, that’s why
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (I'm, I’m ready;
I’m, I’m, I’m ready)
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (I'm, I’m ready,
ready to take on the world)
And when everything’s falling apart, I’m not givin' up (nah, uh uh! uh uh!)
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (take, take, take;
I’m ready now!)
Take on the world (take on the world, take on the world, take on the world,
the world)
Welcome to the world o' entertainment, where everybody’s famous
Everybody’s trying to make a dollar and some changes (uh huh)
And people wonder why the money don’t attract me, but
Don’t believe the answer to the question when they ask me
I’ve been around the world; I’ve seen the way it twirls
And I’ve been tempted by money, cars, and pretty girls
And a bunch o' other stuff that ya’ll don’t know (shh)
But I don’t wanna lose my soul
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (I'm, I’m ready;
I’m, I’m, I’m ready)
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (I'm, I’m ready,
ready to take on the world)
And when everything’s falling apart, I’m not givin' up (nah, uh uh! uh uh!)
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (take on the
world; I’m just gettin' started!)
'Cause I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (take,
take, take, take on the world)
And I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (yeah,
let’s go and get 'em, let’s go and get 'em)
And when everything’s fallin' apart, I’m not givin' up (uh, let’s, let’s, let’s)
I’m feelin' like I’m ready, ready, ready to take on the world (take, take, take)
Take on the world
