Succed

Seconds away from a bad decision
Lead to your death, or land you in prison
What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger 
Stop & think just a little bit longer
My own death certificate won't be signed
Times of adversity, a mans defined
What's the meaning of defining moment
Capture life's opportunities, own it
The web we weave, is still yet to be sown  
Sometimes figure things out on our own
Perseverance through struggle's, what it takes
Can't always learn from somebody mistakes 
It takes knowledge in order for you to succeed
Saying that you must follow before lead
Your not a failure unless you didn't try at all
How would you get up if you'd never fall
It doesn't matter in what order you place
There isn't anything sweeter than grace
