The bridge is mighty in the hand that gave you hell
When the money's gone and all the madness is started
You're gonna need a friend, need a friend
This is what I recommend, recommend
Watch what you say and the things you do
What goes around comes back to you
Put your respect where you respect you
Check yourself, don't wreck yourself
Don't you forget where you're coming from
Just because you have a little money in hand
Soon, very soon, you might end up at none
Check yourself
