Final Round

dont worry bout that play,
forget about that last down.
it's in the past, don't get stuck in the past,
the past is passed now.
keep moving forward, I promise you.
you won't ever show fear,
your never gon back down.
don't question for a second that you'll give up,
you're going to die giving your last now.
won't stop until you hear the sound of the bell,
that spells the end of the last rounded.

in deep thought, as I'm telling myself,
I'm going to fight.
give it all I got, my last shot make it count.
it's the last round, I have poor vision, the right swollen the left is squinted.
I'm left winded. tank ain't got much left in it.

confused by the tricks my minds playing, as I'm telling myself give in your finished.
then my heart steps on its way, my will just keeps moving foward.
telling my mind, the bell hasn't sounded out, so don't count yourself out.
even if you hit the ground I won't let you get counted out.

you might feel your bout to break.
trust me, you ain't even started to bend yet. you might get pushed, trust me I know your limits.
don't take a cowards route, and allow you to to bow out.

you can do it, power through it, pain makes you stronger.
we endured to much to quit now, let's take this to the end.
even if it your on your own without friends, don't need them, family too.
all you need is you, to make it through

follow your heart throughout life it will never give you the wrong advice.
be good and do people right,
two wrongs don't make it right.

Leave it for those who cause problems in your life.
The ones who feel you have no fight, or just do it out of spite.
Don't grant them your time, or shrink down to their height.

Be the giant, make them climb to your level.
Beanstalks don't grown themselves.
Don't entertain the weak, or let them plant the seed.
Then you'll see the storm that it brings.
All will come crashing down harder than the waves in the sea.
Soon they will sink, wither away like the tree,
That grew from the time they planted their seed.
