LISTEN UP!!!!

HEAD UP!!

NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION

AND YOU ARE NOT WATCHING TV AND HEAD IS OUT FRIDGE IN THE KITCHEN.

YEAH, I’M TALKING TO YOU, I’M TRYING TO PLANT A SEED; PLEASE DON’T WAIT

I KNOW WHAT SAYING “WHAT ARE YOU TALKIN ABOUT?” I WANT YOU TO SUCCEED; TO BE GREAT.

I WAS THE 1ST ON MY FATHER SIDE TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL,

SO FROM THEIR IGNORANCE I DIDN’T GO STRAIGHT TO COLLEGE, I DIDN’T HAVE THE TOOLS.

18 YEARS WITHOUT A PLAN, I HAD TO MAKE DECISION AND MY DECISION WAS TO ENTER THER SERVICE,

FOR 3 MONTHS AND 1 WEEK, MY WILL, PRIDE, AND HEART WAS CHALLENGE.

BY NOW YOU KNOW YOURSELF PHYSICALLY,

BUT NOW I WANT YOU TO MOTIVATE YOURSELF MENTALLY.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU FALL DOWN?

DUST YOURSELF OFF AND PICK YOURSELF OFF THE GROUND.

I NEED TO KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO DO MORE WITH LESS,

SO WHEN I'M NOT THERE, I KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE A SUCCESS.
