Everyone who saw him called him a college dropout
Now he is balling, they want to listen to him as he is sold out
I thought this was the person they have judged and said can't pop out?
Now his success is growing strong, giving detractors blackout
Everyone thought he wouldn't do much, so his thoughts they block out
If life was a game played in the rings of people's heads, he'd have gotten a knockout
But life is about what you make out of it with who you are on the inside out
No one would give you the chance to succeed as you'd have wanted
Not many people would believe in your dreams unless you take the step out
If you can't convince yourself that you can do it, how would anyone even listen to you?
If you can't take the step to follow your dreams, who would do it for you?
Everyone has a dream but the problem is selling it to others
Everyone has a story to tell, the problem is how you tell and share yours
It's normal, oh, absolutely normal for others not to see what you've seen
Life is a teacher, it's your duty to teach others and make them see the possibility
Some would follow you and believe, others would run off from the responsibility
You don't need many people, but loyal people that can give you sustainability
After buying into your dream so they can express their tenacity
Tenacity to follow through with your dream amid so much hostility
It's the world we live in but not many people would believe you
They don't have to anyway, as long as your dream doesn't die with you - continuity
How badly do you want your dream and the world to hear you?
What motivates you to pursue rigorously the things you desire?
Are you after the applause or do you just want to prove others wrong?
What do you do after the applause? And when it quietens down?
What do you do after proving doubters wrong?
Do you relax on that success or do you put out a new song?
Your motivation must not be about proving others wrong alone
Neither should it be for the applause as you ride on the waves
You have to have an indomitable will to succeed
Not only for yourself but to give hope to others who aren't as tough as you
Because you had it tough doesn't mean others have to repeat the process
We are here to make life easier a bit for one another on the path to success
And we have different capabilities as some are comfortable being on their long recess

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
