Its Not What You Do In Life Its How You Do It

get up dusk yourself off ,jumb back on that horse 
are you really going to give up cause you failed the course
hold up your head up , straighten up your back 
you got to get your life back on the right track

so what everybody wants you to be who they want you to be
you have to live your own life make choices for yourself
yea alot of that might come with a fee
but you have to stop being a doormat for everyone else 

speak out loud clear your throat
no wonder so many people take you for a joke
doing all that mumbling noone can hear a word 
voice yourself stand up and be heard

you really need to stop taking and start giving advice
dont you think it's time to start to taking charge of your life
otherwise the rest of your life will be filled with regrets
cause it's not what you do in life it;s how you do it
