Win


I want to win

I have to win

I need to win more than the devil needs to sin

I don't know where to begin

but I know the end result will be a win

I wake up everyday with a grin

Bigger than the wall of Berlin

I hustle hard because I can never give in

If I don't make it, I will never be forgiven

When an obstacle is my defender

I am like Marshawn with spin

I want to be like Richard Sherman

with an excellent game and an education to my name.

 

If I lose I can't take the pain

When my grandad died I was never the same

My dreams of making him proud are the only things that keep me sane

The fear of failure can even derange

I can't think of it ever again

I have nothing to lose

I only have to gain

it's almost a curse having this type of brain

because the only end to thinking this way is by getting slain

 

There are no more reasons for me to complain

I have to continue because the stratosphere can't contain

me as I fly at my dreams with a jetppack of propane
