You aren't given any breaks in life.
You make them for yourself.
We are all being tested in life and how you face that test
determines the rest of your life.
And there's a lot of times where I don't know how
I'm going to move forward but I asked myself one question
can you take another step?
And that answer is always
yes.
Those circumstances will make us stronger.
And when those demons are coming at you and they're attacking you
if you feel you can't handle them
you have to invent someone that can.
We all have the ability to transform ourselves
to bring more out.
Regardless of what's in front of you you still must grind.
I fail at most things I do.
But still I grind.
I don't want to do half the sh*t I do.
But still I grind.
And that one day you see me down a dark alley
run at one o'clock in the morning know one thing
I was grinding.
It happens in solitude where I try
and I try and I try again.
With every thing I have to be the best that I can possibly be.
Better than I was yesterday.
Better than people thought I could be.
Better than I thought I could be.
Because I will not
stop.
I want what all other men want.
But when the pressure hits when the opposition hits
when the challenge hits when the pain creeps in
when the uncertainty creeps in when the cuts
when the scars when the bruises come
I just wanted a little bit more than they want it.
And if you ain't got more heart than me if you ain't been working harder than me
if you didn't sacrifice more than me I'm gonna destroy you.
And I'm not retreating.
I'm not running.
I don't care what they say on paper.
I don't care if you say we outnumbered.
We live by this and we die by this.
We don't run.
We don't retreat.
You know how hard I worked to get here?
And you think I'm about to give this up?
Have you lost your mind?
I put in too many hours.
I sweat too much blood.
Too much tears.
I worked hard to get here.
Didn't nobody give me this.
I didn't grow up with wealth.
Didn't nobody pay me.
I worked for this.
Sweat blood
tears.
I earn every dime I get.
I worked for this.
I put in time.
To be anxious is to have anxiety about something that hadn't even happened
yet.
Some of you are so worried about the threat of trouble.
You're not in trouble it's just that trouble has threatened you.
And the threat of what might happen what could happen
is wearing you down.
Half of the things that you thought were going to happen
never did happen.
But if you allow those thoughts to dwell in your mind
it will succeed at robbing you of your peace
robbing you of your joy robbing you of your life
just because you thought yourself into a nervous breakdown
you thought yourself into depression you thought yourself into defeatism.
This is no time to lose your head.
This is no time to quit.
This is no time to faint.
This is no time to collapse.
This is no time to give in.
You may look bad for a little while, but stand.
You might be embarrassed but stand.
No devil in hell can destroy you
if you keep in the back of your mind I'm coming out of this.
I'm coming out of it.
Bit by bit pull by pull
tug by tug I am coming out of it.
I don't know how long it's gonna take I don't know what I'm going to have to go
through I don't know what I'm going to lose along
the way but I still believe
that I'm coming out.
I've been broke I've been busted and disgusted
but I still believe that I'm coming out.
You gotta learn how not to give up or how not to give in.
You gotta cry if you got to but whatever you do
you cannot give up you cannot give in.
You are the only person that can stop you so stop talking like a victim
stop thinking like a victim stop acting like a victim
and walk into your destiny.
Walk into it.
