Jump (The Velvet Rope)

Some people get lucky

Born with a silver spoon

Other people got to work real hard

A whole life of paying dues

One man got a big old house

Fast car and swimming pool

Another man got a big old wife

Ten kids and one bathroom

PRE-CHORUS

Sometimes

We're just stuck

Behind

The velvet rope (x2)

CHORUS

You gotta jump up so high

Jump up jump over the rope

You gotta jump up so high

Jump up jump the rope

Some people get lucky

Take a chance to strike it rich

Other people will they bet it all lose

Ain't life a bitch

One man's on the guest list

Arrives in a limousine

Another man got to stand on line

Outside in the pouring rain

BRIDGE

We got the world on a string

Wrapped around our fingers

We got everything we need

We don't need a thing

There ain't no rope that can hold us

Nothing keeps us down

There ain't a rope that can bind us

We're gonna jump up off the ground
