shine or die

I’m climbing up this mountain, no time for fear, Knowledge in my pocket, gotta make it clear, Either rise and grind or fade into the dust, Momma raised a warrior, in this game I trust. Got my mind on the prize, no room for regret, Lessons in the struggle, ain’t done learning yet, Dad taught me hustle, never back down, In this concrete jungle, I wear the crown. Choices on the table, I’m betting it all, Gotta stand tall, never stumble, never fall, Ain't no second guessing, I’m ready for the test, Either I’m the best, or I’ll settle for the rest. Heart of a lion, I’m ready to roar, With every step I take, I’m breaking down the door, No more hesitation, it’s time to reflect, Either I make my mark, or I chalk it up as wreck.
