And they had the nerve to count you out.
That's because they didn't understand that your motivation
would never let you stay down for the count.
It's times like these that we separate the real from the fake.
And winners like you can take a punch and bounce right back
because you understand and know exactly what's at stake.

It's money time, baby
And this is for all of the marbles.
It's put up or shut up.
Survive and advance. Win or go home.
And that's why you spend all those hours grinding.
That's why you spend all those hours pushing yourself to the limit.
You spend all those hours running.
That's why you spend all those hours sacrificing
You spend all those hours sweating
because you know there will be no time for regretting, fretting
or letting yourself or your teammates down.
See you are bound and determined
to enter into the realm of greatness that's reserved for you
and only you.
And so if the day ever comes that you're tired enough to quit
Then I need you to act like a car with 4 flats and re-tire.
I don't think you heard me, I said "If the day ever comes
that you are tired enough to quit
then I need you to act like a car with 4 flats and re-tire."
Next level success is reserved
for those that are willing to not start counting the reps, until it starts hurting.
Not start counting the shots made, until their arms are dead tired.
Not start counting the sprints, until they're already breathing hard.
I heard a wise man say "It hurts but it works"
I say when it hurts then and only then will you start receiving the perks.
The accolades, the AT-A-BOYS, the AT-A-GIRLS
the great jobs, the ALLEY OOP LOBS
the celebration parties with the lobster and shish kabobs.
The hoisting of the banners, the sizing for the rings.
The smiles, the hugs and all of the love and respect in-between.
See some of you out there, you in the dark.
And you know what I need you to do for me when you in the dark, right?
Turn the lights on when I'm talking to you because I don't think you heard me.
I said next level success is reserved
for those that are willing to not start counting the reps until it starts hurting.
Not start counting the shots made, until their arms are dead tired.
Not start counting the sprints, until they're already breathing hard.
So just when they think you're about to throw in the towel
That's when I need you to recall all of the days that you went that extra mile.
All of them days that your friends said you were foul
when you said you couldn't hang out because you were dialed in
You were locked in, you were in a zone
So you had to be strong, because you knew that day would come.
When you would have to show the world that you can overcome any adversity
any obstacles, any hardships, any setback.
Because you were prepared for any and everything.
you understood that it would be impossible
to run with them cheetahs when you're walking with the turtles.
You understood that it would be impossible
for you to run with the cheetahs when you were walking with the turtles.
So your mindset is that of a track star
and that gives you the middle strip to leap over life's hurdles
to power through the speed bumps to push through the roadblocks
and continue to grind pass any and every obstruction
that attempts to deter you from your ultimate goal of next level success.
So the stresses of the world, you laughing!
The dreams they say are out of your reach, you grab them
The things they say you can't achieve, you take a stabbing
And when the bullies of life try to knock you out
you stick and you move and you jab them.
I said, the stresses of the world, you laugh at them!
The dreams they say are out of your reach, you go and grab at them.
the things they say you can't achieve, you take a stab at them.
And when the bullies of life try to knock you out
you stick and move and you jab them.
And on the rare occasion that you take the punch from life
and it knocks you down.
You dig deep and then you dig deep and then you dig even deeper
because you understand that
this is the moment to pick yourself up
Push through with determination and grit.
Because of all your resilience
commitment, hard work, perseverance
you have now put yourself in position to show the world
that you got that dog.
And your inner dog Has No Quit.
