Like U Mean It

Daddy once said, "There is nothing new under the sun.
It's not  what you do but how it's done."

So doing it well is the theme of the day
Get up, dress up, and be on your way

Onward to your glorious destiny
It is written so you must read it intently

Then play!

Yes, play it

Play it like u mean it and mean it when u play it
Nevermind what they say; it's all about how you feel it

Like Bruce Lee mastering the body and mind with martial arts
Like B.B. strumming Lucille not with his hands but with his heart

Like Jesse glowing up the track in Berlin in '36 with four golds after he crossed the finish line
Like Jordan in the 4th quarter so get out of the way 'cause it's winning time

So if you mean it,  go ahead and do it
Why would you not when you were born Intuit
