lyrics

If you stumble in life make it part of the dance
Go beyond the 8th mile you’ve got more than one chance
Opportunity knocks on your door every day
Will you invite it in for dinner or let it just walk away?

FAILURE, oh that’s what you’re afraid of?
That’s like 95% of what success stories are made of
SUCCESS, oh that’s what has you scared?
Now that I can relate to but you’ve got to get prepared

It’s bound to happen, as long as you keep showing up
The harder that you work the less you have to grow your luck
You can never know enough
Read, study the greats, for real hope isn’t enough

Every day offers a lesson
Today is a gift that’s why they call it the present
Are you in or just messing? Decisive or guessing?
Either way fail forward faster, that is my message

No passive aggression
Only total domination, action and effort
Do not give an F word, like Nike just freaking do it yo
And if you trip then let me see you dip and do the tootsie roll

If you stumble in life make it part of the dance
Go beyond the 8th mile you’ve got more than one chance
Opportunity knocks on your door every day
Will you invite it in for dinner or let it just walk away?

We’re greedy with our money yet frivolous with our time
There’s a place making cash while our bodies are in decline
Keep your eyes on the prize, focus on the horizon
Life’s full of rocky mountains no doubt you’re gonna be climbing

You’re gonna lose your footing, every now and then
Sliding down the side of the mountain hitting the ground again
But you’re just back to where you started
With experience and knowledge to help you get a bit farther

Another chance to advance
And if you don’t then take a note from the chorus and do a dance
Shake your system up, wake your system up
Take a minute to resolve that you ain’t giving up

This is your year, your month, your day
Your time, your life, your rules, your way
So break a leg, break a sweat, break away
Break dance and do the robot if you flop along the way
