MEASURE UP
Two roads lead to fame. They can light up
Or tarnish your name
You can talk a good game, while you look for
Someone else to blame
But at the end of the day
If you say you're 10 feet tall
Tear down everyone to make 'em feel small
Then that might be your downfall
Tie your shoes to run
It's time to measure
Up (Measure Up) (4 feet, 5 feet, 6 feet) Chin up, stand up straight
(Settle up) (1 cent, 2 cent, 3 cent) When it's time to pay
(Own up) (1 strike, 2 strike, 3 strike) If you make a mistake
(Back Up) (1 lie, 2 lie, 3 lie) The things that you say
(Measure up) (Don't you come up short) You got to measure up
(Measure up) (Don't you come up short) You got to measure up
(Don't you come up short) You got to measure up
Say you've been on a roll. What they
Don't know is it's money you stole
All the pressure is taking it's toll, and your façade
Is gonna crumble
Cuz at the end of the day
If you say you're 10 feet tall
Tear down everyone to make 'em feel small
Then that might be your downfall
Tie your shoes to run
It's time to measure
Up (Measure Up) (4 feet, 5 feet, 6 feet) Chin up, stand up straight
(Settle up) (1 cent, 2 cent, 3 cent) When it's time to pay

(Back Up) (1 lie, 2 lie, 3 lie) The things that you say
(Measure up) (Don't you come up short) You got to measure up
(Measure up) (Don't you come up short) You got to measure up
(Don't you come up short) You got to measure up
Your hype was the best
Should be no contest
But you're a wolf who got dressed
And we're not impressed
Your hype was the best
Should be no contest
But you're a wolf who got dressed
(4 feet, 5 feet, 6 feet) Chin up, stand up straight (Settle Up)
(1 cent, 2 cent, 3 cent) When it's time to pay (Own Up)

(1 lie, 2 lie, 3 lie) The things that you say (Measure Up)
(Don't You Come Up Short) Measure Up
