Ten million stories in the city
Ten million backs against the wall
Desperation's out tonight
You can cut it with a knife

Everybody wants to have it all
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough

(Chorus:)
Hey little Caesar, nobody messing with you
Hey little Caesar, go show 'em what you can do

Nobody said that it was pretty
You haven't got a penny or a prayer
You know it's gonna be a fight
If you wanna see your name in lights
Ain't nobody gives a damn out there
Well you got your guts, you got your pride
But you'll never let them see inside

(Chorus)

(Spoken:)
Well you don't believe in the books and rules
'Cause you just believe in what you know is cool
Well they tell you that the world is rough
But they never rocked it hard enough
I can't hear you

They just don't understand
You gotta fight to be a man

(Chorus)

Hey little Caesar, oh yeah, that's what it is
Hey little Caesar, yeah
