It's alright, cause you tried. Who do you wanna be? The guy on the ground who tried somethin', or the bum standin' up who did notin'? Personally I'd like to be the guy on the ground.
Cause if somebody goes through all the junk you gotta go through to get where they wanna get, who's got the right to stop him? I mean, maybe some of you guys have something you never finished, something you really wanna do, something you never said to somebody, SOMETHIN'... And you're told "no, even after you pay your dues", who's got the right to tell you that, who? NOBODY! It's your right to listen to your gut and it ain't nobody's right to say "no, 'till you earn the right to be who you wanna be or do what you wanna do"!!
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and THAT AIN'T YOU. YOU'RE BETTER THAN THAT!
