" If I tell you I am good, you'll think I am boasting....If I tell you I'm no good, you'll know I'm lying "
........................................................................
I travel alone by force of nature
A free spirit with a combative nature
I go my way and bow to none
Hard work helped me, get it all together
And I honed my body to obey my will
Extreme confidence with nerves of steel
Walking through life I fear no man
As I have developed an unbeatable philosophy
That cares for neither convention or reason
Unorthodox, I challenge and bend the rules
And prove that he who adapts, has the winning hand
Neither time nor age can weaken my resolve
Indomitable force in fluid,flexible motion
Victory and success is a slam dunk case
Because the contest is won
Already in my mind
Even before hostilities begin
Its all over bar the shouting
Feel my muscles and iron like forearms
Lightning speed, you don't see me coming
Practice makes perfect, and repetition gives timing
So hear me out, and watch me go
I've gone through life in an irrepressible show
We all come into this world without being asked
I say to you, you can be first or last
You owe nobody a single thing
I don't give a damn what other people think
Brimming and fired with self belief
Tempered by the crucible of compassion
I'll show you how to make it work
Come this way, its a single track
Just close your mind and open your heart
I'll give you all the secrets of life
Rolled together, a double whammy so as to be
Listen carefully to what I say
Write it on the back of your hand today
.....Love Implicitly Your Spirit Inside......
