Dynamo

If you were born to be what you want to be 
to believe your needs are yours to achieve 
born to breathe the air of success 
every failure a course of progress 
to give it your all and then find more 
to stand up tall right after you fall 
and never give in and always endure 
widen your view and seek to explore 
carve out the path like no one before 
In the face of defeat deface it with force 
not narcissistic but humble and pure 
confident not cocky transparent to the core
giving opportunities out as you go
never feel threatened and help others grow 
the best version of you helps the next person too 
when advance isn’t chance but purposely proved 
and admit when it's chance because that happens too 
don't make out and fake out the intention to do
when you don’t know ask questions and listen to answers 
observant occurrence in all circumstances 
always knowing there’s somebody better 
always seek to be somebody better 
never completed and never fulfilled 
forever reaching increasingly skilled 
always have hunger like when you were younger 
drive up when you’re under the lightning the thunder 
dynamo will of the furthering hunter 
nothing’s enough wanting more out of habit 
calling their bluff as you reach out and grab it 
pushing the boundaries far off the radar 
when you are the greatest seek to be greater 
it’s about your desires and making them true 
that means you do whatever you need too 
it’s not what you are it’s about what you do 
and you will do things nobody ever knew 
if you were born to a set destiny 
then you don’t need inspiration from me 
you just need to believe it is yours to achieve 
don’t let the negative energy breed 
from those around you who you do not need 
they arrived in your life but they don’t need to stay 
it’s you who decides if they stay or go away 
when you realise you must act the same day 
take the one chance it’s the one that they gave 
when you grow old you can look back and say 
I lived my life and I did it my way.
