I was told don’t look to be more than what you are right now

I asked why can’t I strive to be so much more than what eyes perceive

Life will beat you down and step all over you is what the shadow says

Why can’t I dust myself off and pick myself up to become a champion

“You can’t win, give it up, it’s not going to happen, you are worthless”

A defeated attitude I can never have, does that matter or is my grind pointless

“So you want to see yourself as something of Phoenix, being reborn”

“Yes, I do, springing forth from the ashes redeemed from the fires nuclear heat”

“We’ll continually be here to tell you that you can’t measure up to what you believe”

“I’ll continually tell you that I will and I will become more than what Gaea has for me”

“Man you believe you have the soul of a warrior don’t you”

“I have the spirit of my ancestors, who never waivered in the face of many dangers”

“You know your positivity and attitude we despise, we can’t wait until your sleeping covered in flies”

“That’s exactly the reason, I won’t fail or succumb, and my continued push as to Why I Rise”
