From Now On

From now on I must gain some focus Find a way to be motivated, Study and find the light and love I wonder if I've been practising enough, Nothing comes easy, that's a fact Got to try and improve and up my act, Fill in the gaps where I lack And find the strength to come back, I should not be waiting for things to happen I got start to stir things up, I've got to make things happen If I want to get anywhere in life, Come at it old So I got to be bold And try, To fulfil my potential I have wasted so much time, I am an honest critic And I am critiquing my life, It's not good enough To sit and watch life go by, As if I am waiting in a queue For my time to come, For my fifteen moments of fame It doesn't work like that, I got set targets and take aim and achieve And stop making excuses It has nothing to do with age, Yes I work hard every single day But it's for other people It's time to do something for me And if I want to achieve this I got to make my pen bleed, I got face myself honestly Accept the fact I've never done enough, To push myself forward I've lacked the self belief and that's tough, I got start believing in me, If I expect others to do the same It's about time that I upped my game, Stop looking for others to blame Stop dreaming and wishing my life away, From now on I got to go against the grain And get on the fast train And be who I want to be And do what I want to achieve, Don't look to others This is all down to me.
