Opportunity

Timmy Thomas

[Verse 1]
This world is big enough for both of us
But I can't let you have my share
I've been deprived of payin' my due
Now I've got the chance to go somewhere

[Pre-Chorus]
All it took was one step to the front
I closed the door and didn't look back
Now I've got the will and live for perfection
Before I fall right in that same old trap

[Chorus]
If they'll give me, give me opportunity
Mmm, that's enough for me
All I want is opportunity

[Interlude]
Now let me tell you somethin' right here

[Verse 2]
This world is big enough for both us
But I can't let you havе my share
I've been deprivеd, now I've got to go
Gotta go, gotta go somewhere
We fight, never, never endin' battle
About who's gonna sit in the front seat of life
Don't you know divided, divided we fall
Why can't we come together and win this fight?

[Pre-Chorus]
Some people gotta stop thinkin' they're second
In a world where seconds don't place
First you got to get, get your mind together
Then you are ready to set your pace

[Chorus]
If they'll give me, give me opportunity
That's enough, that's enough for me
All I want is opportunity

[Outro]
Opportunity
Opportunity, opportunity
Opportunity
Opportunity
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
Opportunity
All I want—I don't want any handout
Give me, give me, give me, give me
Give me the opportunity
Opportunity, ho, opportunity
Mmm, hmm, opportunity
