Verse 2:

        Nothin' can hold us and nothin' can keep us down
        And someday our names will be spread all over town
        We can get in while the getting is good
        So make it on your own, yeah, you know that you could
        Oh, oh, oh, oh
        Oh, oh, oh, oh

        We got to make the break
        'Cause we got too much at stake
