Sometimes you've got to take the heat If your gonna' walk down on the mean street Take the heat and you see it through Cause sometimes it comes down to Do what you gotta do Sometimes it goes right down to the wire And you might have to walk through the fire Walk on, boy, all the way through Sometimes it comes down to Do what you gotta do Well there's people that'll tell you It's just no use And there's people that'll tell you That you're gonna' lose People tha'll tell you Anything you're gonna' listen to Do what you gotta do Someday they're going to call your name They'll come looking for someone to blame What's your name boy Hey you just tell them true Cause they can't take the truth from you So do what you gotta' do Well they'll call you a hero or a traitor But you'll find out that sooner or later Nobody in this world is gonna' do it for you Do what you gotta do There ain't no body in this world That's gonna' do it for you Do what you gotta do
