lyrics

You must be willing to do the things today others won’t do
In order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have
You must be willing to do the things today others won’t do
In order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have

It’s not supposed to be easy, why should it be?
Put in the, requisite hours, plus another two or three
Nobody cares if you’ve got time or not
Your passion needs to eat so feed it to make the cryin’ stop

Check your reflection make sure the mirror works
The universe really owes you nothing ‘cause it was here first
You better get it together never settle for lesser
It’s either now or it’s never

This isn’t forever your life is finite
So get your mind right BEFORE the time’s right
Go ‘head take a chance, shake your plans
You never know by letting go you may advance

‘Cause here’s the ugly truth
Most of us are trading five days just for two
Feeling stuck like glue, so what to do?
Anything, do it now, something new, just get up and move!

You must be willing to do the things today others won’t do
In order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have
You must be willing to do the things today others won’t do
In order to have the things tomorrow others won’t have

You’re on a mission with wide eyes and big vision
Practice your craft at least ten minutes
I promise you can find the time
Just do it right before you close your eyes at night

Do you want it or not? If you don’t then forget it
If you do then let’s get it, you’ve got to be committed
Sure it’s a challenge tryin’ to hit the nail
But who needs balance? When you’re tryin’ to tip the scale

So what if you don’t hit your target
The worst likely to happen is that you end up where you started
So try try try again, keep firin’
Attackin’ life like a pirate ship

Go get’em, full momentum
No excuses, no regrets, and no bullshittin’!
You say you’ll do it but it never happens
Just remember, your future is full of your present actions
