Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen
[Verse 2]
We don't call the shots here, we don't make the rules
We take what we get, get what we can
And it's learnin' the hard way, here on the streets
You can't build a dream without a plan
[Verse 3]
Passion speaks, let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
[Verse 4]
It's not over till it's over
It's not over till we get it right
[Verse 5]
The odds are against us, they say we don't stand a chance
But there's no givin' up, no givin' in
When push comes to shove, you got to fight for what you love
You do what you must, do what you can
[Verse 6]
Passion speaks, let them hear you speak
(Play for keeps) They play to win, we play for keeps
[Verse 7]
It's not over till it's over
It's not over
It's not over till we get it right
It's not over till it's over
Don't go givin' in
(It's not over) Till we get it right
Get it
[Verse 8]
The odds are against us
But you know we still stand a chance
There's no givin' up, no givin' in
It's not over
[Verse 9]
It's not over till it's over
It's not over till we, till we, till we, till we, till we get it right
It's not over
It's not over till it's over
It's not over (Till we, till we, till we get it right)
It's not over till it's over
Don't go givin' in now
It's not over (Till we get it right)
Believe me (It's not over till it's over)
Don't you go givin' in
Don't you give it up
It's not over till it's over
