You want to be on top, the bottom’s way too crowded
Stand firm in your vision and goals cause most will try to make you doubt it
We call them crabs in a bucket
People who love to hold you back and see you stagger and strugglin’
So what if I’m fumblin’? As long as I keep stacking forward
There’s going to be some back and forth I just have to attack with force
I’ll take the cuts, scrapes, even the scars
You don’t get in life what you want, you get what you are
So were you born to win or born to lose?
I know you’re feeling worn and bruised, but you must muster up and ignore the boos
Don’t think you’ll fail
You don’t have to travel the beaten path you can forge your own and leave a trail
No test, no testimony
If you don’t give it a shot you run the risk of never knowing
The coward dies a thousand deaths
So when your final hour’s left will you be drowning in regret?
You don’t have to be great to get started
But you have to get started to be great
You don’t have to be great to get started
So get started before it’s too late
When your dream is big enough, the odds don’t matter
Feel the fear and do it anyway in fact go faster!
Look, if you’re headed down the wrong path
You want to find out quick as possible so you can stop that
You thought quitting wasn’t an option?
Actually it’s not the losers but winners who quit more often
We don’t fail because we aim and miss
The reason that we fail’s because we often aim to low and hit
You’ve gotta take a risk to win
The most important habit to develop’s prob’ly discipline
Grab the stick and shift to drive
If it’s worth it it’s worth doing badly till you get it right
Get obsessed, create your goal and reach beyond it
Go the extra mile, you’ll notice there’s less people on it
Are you committed cause I ain’t gonna stop
Even if it means I have to fail my way to the top!
You don’t have to be great to get started
But you have to get started to be great
You don’t have to be great to get started
So get started before it’s too late
