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

 Hey, little Caesar
 Nobody messing with you
 Hey, little Caesar
 Go show 'em what you can do

 Nobody said that it was pretty, no no
 You haven't got a penny or a prayer
 You know it's gonna be a fight
 If you want to see your name in lights
 Ain't nobody gives a damn out there
 Well you got your guts and you got your pride
 You'll never let them see inside

 Hey, little Caesar
 Nobody messing with you
 Hey, little Caesar
 Go show 'em what you can do
 Let them show 'em what you can do

 Well you don't believe in the books and rules
 Cause you just believe what you know is cool
 Well they try to tell you that the world is rough
 But they never rocked it hard enough
 I can't hear you, oh yeah!

 Well, they just don't understand
 You gotta fight to be a man

 Hey, little Caesar
 Nobody messing with you
 Hey, little Caesar
 Go show 'em what you can do

 Hey, little Caesar
 Oh yeah, that's what it is
 Hey, little Caesar
 Yeah, come on, oh yeah
 Hey, little Caesar
 Now show 'em, yeah
