No Excuses

(专辑： Words Are Weapons - 2023)

No more excuses
No more victim mentality
Blaming other people for my problems
I'm taking full responsibility
Yeah, my dad left me at five years old and comitted suicide
Left my mom alone to raise me and my sister
It was hard but I will not use it as a crutch or an excuse not to be successful
My past will not shape my present
Nor dictate my future
I'm my own man now
I'm the architect of my life
I will rewrite my story and finish my race strong
God truly is the father to the fatherless
Even if you can't see Him, He sees you
And there still is a purpose and plan for your life
So what if they took advantage of you?
Ripped you off in the deal
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn
I will grow from this
But I will not be one of those people who retells their story of woe
Over and over again to anyone who will listen
They say life is 10% what happens to you
And 90% how you respond to what happens to you
It's not about the hand you're dealt
But how well you play that hand
Instead of feeding myself excuses why I can't
I will feed myself reasons why I can and will
Don't tell me you're too tired, too sore, too busy
I don't have enough time
We're all given the same 24 hours in a day
It's how you spend your time that separates the successful to the unsuccessful
If it really matters you, you will find a way and get it done
No money, lack of connections or geography can stop you
But I'm too old or I'm too late, they say
Look, Ray Kroc didn't start McDonald's until he was 52
Steve Jobs released the first iPhone in his early fifties
If you think trying to go for your dream is risky
Wait until life hands you the bill 10 years later for not trying
Fear is temporary, regret is forever
I've already got a million reasons why I can't
But I just need one reason why I can
Everyone thought the 4-Minute Mile was impossible
Until on a wet cool day, May 6th, 1954
Roger Banister broke through that barrier
Even his rivals breathed the sigh of relief
That this goal was actually attainable
That which seems unreachable becomes the new benchmark now
With thousands who have conquered that 4-minute mountain
If you think you can, you can
And you can be next
No excuses
