(i hear this as more of a rap in my head)

I suppose might just be a day or two late
and a few dollars short to get these things i want
but i cant stand the thought of giving up
i'm a better man than that on my worst **** day
a stronger force the world has never seen than me right now
so why in the hell do i feel like a chump
why do i feel like i threw it all away

nobody asks for life to be hard
life starts now so if you don't get up and start
you'll be looking back at a life that started yesterday
meanwhile you were standing there with you'reΒ Β eyes shut closed
behind the game, fighting to catch up to the rest of them
and that's a race that most of them will try so hard to stay ahead
try so hard to keep what they have and never give up
never slow down even though i it's just so **** easy
so **** easy
to get lost
when the tracks not round and there are no directions to be found

keep you're form and steady your breath
run like hell till theres nothing left
never give up because it's hard to get back going
never lose sight of the way you should go
these paths grow up quickly and turn you around
before you know it you're back at the start
out of breath, out of heart because you wasted it all

nobody asks for life to be hard
life starts now so if you don't get up and start
you'll be looking back at a life that started yesterday
meanwhile you were standing there with you'reΒ Β eyes shut closed
behind the game, fighting to catch up to the rest of them
and that's a race that most of them will try so hard to stay ahead
try so hard to keep what they have and never give up
never slow down even though i it's just so **** easy
so **** easy
to get lost
when the tracks not round and there are no directions to be found

so i find it so impossible for me
to give up on things and people so easily
so i wont do it, i just cant
imma' pick my head up and be a champ
win that race
take whats mine
never gonna stop
never stop trying
