Best Apply Yourself Poems
I apply myself
I try and fail, try and fail
When will I see gain?
Exercise for people,
you know it can be daunting.
But if you apply yourself just right
then you wont fear any taunting.
Take a quiet moment
and with confidence just stand,
stretch out both your arms
with a 5kg potato sack in each hand.
With each week that passes
you will gain a stronger back,
then increase this new regime
take on a 10kg potato sack.
Before you know it folks
your arms will hold out longer,
try 25kg potato sacks
you are really getting stronger.
Your confidence is riding high
but there"s one thing that you lack.
Come on let"s have a go...
try putting some potatoes in each sack!!
P Positive attitude is a key thing
A Apply yourself at whatever you set out to do
S Stay on course with whatever you do
S Success is something you must earn
I It’s up to you to decide what you want to do
O Offer your time to help others
N Now is your time to shine
You may have to look deep inside
And then it also could take you years to find
But when you do find what your passion is
You must hold onto it with everything you have
And don’t let it slip through your hands like grains of sand.
When you do discover your passion
Go after it with all of your heart
And don’t let anyone frustrate you with their words
Because I believe in you and I hope you do too
And I know you can do anything you set your mind to.
Stick to your convictions
Don’t ever back away
Tell it like it is
Say all you have to say.
When you have a chance to meet success
Stick to your convictions
And surely if you do what’s right
You’ll have very few restrictions.
So knuckle down , apply yourself
Be the best that you can be
If you stick to your convictions
Your success you’ll guarantee.
The safest way you can succeed
And live up to your predictions
Is to work real hard, but most of all
Stick to your convictions.
Recognition and Accolades
(from a very proud grandfather and father)
By Franklin Price
7/28/2017
Recognition and accolades are coming your way
Hard work and intelligence are making your day
Not much luck about it; black and white, not just gray
They must say what they need and get out of your way
When defined what's expected, you will do every bit
You'll dance well in the spot of the light that was lit
If it's there to do, you'll surely not quit
But the job is not you and you are not it
Do more than's expected when playing work's game
But don't lose who you are in all of the fame
Make time for yourself while you're making a name
There's life after work, and they're not both the same
Apply yourself fully, no matter the task
Of course you can do it, if they only will ask
I'm very proud of you, in your glory I bask
At the end of the day, you can take off your mask
Verse 1
I respect the hustle,Support the grind
one day my time coming,for me to shine
i will remain grateful and humble
stand on my feet,when i stumble
Pray everyday that i become better
accomplish alot but never settle
Do me by all means
im the child of a king
so that means i can do anything
that i put my mind to
create ways we never seen
listen instead of always talk
use the knowledge
dont lock it
and never let anyone stop it
Chorus
Its enough out there
for us all
pick your neighbor up
dont let them fall
Its enough out there
no need to lack
make it happen
those are facts
Verse 2
The entrepreneur,the mindset
living life with no regrets
taking it a day at a time
pat yourself on the back you're doing fine
yep
just keep on encouraging yourself
you can do it ,yes you can
come up with a plan
don't stop , continue to finish
don't put "can't" up in it
extend it , i mean your words
let your voice be heard
sell yourself you are amazing
apply yourself
its good for change and
do you at all times
respect the hustle and respect the grind
climb the ladder reach the top
take your people if they want to grow
and if they dont let it go
Chorus
Its enough out there
for us all
pick your neighbor up
dont let them fall
Its enough out there
no need to lack
make it happen
those are facts
Bridge:
Respect the grind
at all times
Keep God first
and you'll be fine
Respect the grind
at all times
Keep God first
and you'll be fine
Chorus
Its enough out there
for us all
pick your neighbor up
dont let them fall
Its enough out there
no need to lack
make it happen
those are facts
Repeat Until Chorus Fades

What is the sound that I hear, the early call of the sparrow? their music is very
clear. Last nite-I heard gunfire and yes that's typical as in my neighborhood we all
live with fear. But each morning the mocking bird's makes noice of cheer. What
is that sound I hear, are they singing a tune of triumphant that seems to help ease
my fear. As the siren's and emergency personal pour into the hood, someone has
died, O'that point is very clear.
As another night of voilence-young folk's and old playing against the noon-early
in the morning the birds of prey, play's another tune. Jacksonville, once a proud new
city sparrowling with the promises of a Dreamer's dream. "Now the time has come-do
we take back or do we all cry". The sun will still shine tomorrow-but for many in the
city they all are asking why. Why is my young daughter hurting or my son spending
this night in the morgue, "do we take back the city, or do we all cry".
"Yes the Time has Come, will all ye pastor's not worry about the trouble or the crime".
But will your prayers help motivate some, give strenth that's excruciating to everyone.
"The time has come, apply yourself, before the rise of the Sun".
All the tools are there
Apply yourself efficiently
You can be great
Just broaden your mind immensely
Have a heart
And take center stage
Continue to edify yourself
Just be sage
Acquire more knowledge
Continue to get ahead
Apply yourself a great deal
Brighten your world instead
Never stop improving
Ameliorate your vocabulary
Learning is a lifelong experience
Edify yourself greatly
YA PROBLEM IS 5.5
WITH BROWN EYES AND BIG THIGHS
PLENTY ASSS AND **** TO GRIP
AND LIPS THAT MAKE YOU WISH YOU COULD KISS LIKE THE FRENCH
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?
IT’S THAT SHUGGA WITH A SPLASH SASS
THAT GOT YOU OPEN LIKE STORES ON BLACK Friday
WISH YOU COULD MAKE MY DAY
BUT YOU DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START
YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH MY MIND
BUT I ALREADY KNOW YA HEART
DISTRACTED EASILY JUST TO GET THE SCENT OF ME
STOPPIN SHORT JUST TO HOPE YOU BUMP INTO ME
YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLE
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS APPLY YOURSELF TO SOLVE IT
USE THEM YEARS OF COLLEGE TO DROP KNOWLEDGE AND I’LL EDUCATE
YOU
PUT YOUR SKILLS TO USE
ADD YOU INTO YOUR PROBLEM AND DIVIDE IT
THE EQUATION IS NOT THAT SIMPLE
IT’S GONE TAKE SOME TIME AND PARTICIPATION TO GET TO GRADUATION
Apply yourself better
You can make the grade
Put more focus on your studies
There is more knowledge for you to gain
Do not waste your time
And be a fool
Open those books
Edify yourself and be cool
Just study harder
Believe that you can
Apply yourself better
That is the master plan
Raise those marks
Take good direction
You can achieve
And be the best reflection
Stop pretending
That everything's alright
Like nothing happened
Liek it didn't occur.
Stop pretending
That you can't see the damage
Caused by your ignorance
While you slept your life away.
Stop pretending
That everything's stable
In actuality its begun to crumble
Chopping down our family tree
As it turns to splinters.
Stop pretending
That you can't learn
By saying you can't
How will you ever know
If you can't even try.
Stop pretending
That you did nothing wrong
Then why did you marry?
Why did you have kids?
Why don't you love her?
Stop pretending
That your fine
You have a problem
In your mind.
Memories fading
Repeating questions
Losing knowledge
In an eternal loop
Trapped in a time capsule.
Stop pretending
That your not hurting
Cause you lack the empathy
To not know how were feeling
Your a souless robot
That lacks a soul.
Stop with the lies
Stop with the demands
Stop with the mind games
Stop your selfish philosophical
Way of living!
Stop pretending
That it'll work out
When you can't figure out
Why you made our lives
Into a living hell.
No more excuses
No more lies
No more demands
No more selfishness
No more ego
Its time you grew up!
Take responsibility
Step up to the plate
Put your manhood on the line
Stop kissing people's ass.
Strive to do better
Strive to be less egotistic
Strive not to be selfish
Strive to be less slothy.
For the love of your family
For the love of your daughter
For the love of god
For the love of life.
If you can't learn
To change your ways
To make yourself better
To become a better man
A better husband
A better father.
If you can't learn
To appreciate women
To apply yourself
To be a better person
Then you'll never grow up
You'll never be a great man.
No more pretending anymore
Its time to stop your lies
Take a step back
To take in the damage
Then saying everything's alright
No more pretending, father.
All of the tools are there
Utilize them wisely
Just spread those wings and fly
Apply yourself accordingly
You can do it
Never settle for less
Put your heart into everything
And do your best
Chaos ensues when she enters the venue
Deep-seated insecurities and childhood issues
She takes the beauty and makes it problematic
Chaos is a defining feature of her habits
She aughts be in pictures an award-winning actress.
She embodies the measurements of a diva in distress
She leaves a path of destruction wherever she goes
like a wildfire burning out of control
Malicious, disparaging, unsightly, and misguided
Anger and confused she realizes her world is divided
She wants the power to conquer everyone’s lions
Yet getting taken down by her demonic giants
She's both cold like frost and fierce like a flame
Slurring, cursing, and scandalizing everyone’s name
She is one-sided, so don't waste your time
Trying to persuade her otherwise
The Cross is the only thing that could save that girl
Truth, that’s brighter than a gem, purer than pearls
It's time to unshackle from that intense cord
Jesus’s sacrifice is a gift it is not your award
You don’t have to be pretentious
Just apply yourself & unborn
