This Is Your World

This is your world
Your day and
Your time
It's all right there 
For the taking

Go for the win
Drain the clock
Drain the shot
Cut down the nets
The dedication 
To the craft you've been
Mastering
For so many days that
You expect to win
Anticipate being
A champion
All cavelier when it's on the line
Because losing here 
Has never crossed your mind
Hanging banners there
Like Chandeliers
On some whatever stuff
Like it happens all the time
Absorb the losses
To inspire progress
Get on a roll
Until your tire's popping
It could all be yours
But nothing's given
Because competition 
Is unforgiving
But that's to be expected
You got to stay the course
& Dont abort the mission

This is your world
Your day and
Your time
It"s all right there 
For the taking8

If they knock you down 
Get back up 
Or you will prove them right
You weren't good enough
 My last resort has last resorts 
My last resorts are never done
Everyone's against me forget everyone 
Success is the best revenge that anyone
Could ever have and by quitting now 
You'll be remembered
As the dude who threw in the towel
Step up to the plate and rise to the occasion
Never be timid or intimidated
If you ain't the best 
You should be doing your best 
To be putting yourself
In the conversation 
If they're debating put it to rest 
Show them how you play when
You're put to the test
Make all of them haters say
Who would have guessed
Do W-O-R-K
Then jet

This is your world
Your day and
Your time
It"s all right there 
For the taking
