Be your best 'self' in the ring of life and dance LIKE Muhammad Ali
Yes, float like a butterfly and sting LIKE a bee

Sit down and dream LIKE King
Stand-up and believe in the Most High above all things

Chase down dreams like Usain Bolt
Run your lane and feel that Divine jolt

Work tirelessly at your craft like James Brown
Have a Funky Good Time and Get Down

Practice patience and perseverance like Dr. Carver
Keep your aim and shoot at your goals like an archer

Be your authentic YOU
Be the best you were sent here to DO
