Champion

Day in and day out we try to survive. We try to become great to make our family and friends proud. Through all the battles with racism, greed, envy, despair, we still fight to become something of value. Now trust me I know it gets to the point where you want to give it all up because it can be too much to handle. Nevertheless, something within you propels you to keep going. Now we all may not be millionaires or famous, yet we all can be survivors. We all can be warriors. We all can be champions. That’s what is all bout. Its about winning and being a champion. Remember a million dollars does not make you a champion. A champion is a person who is presented with a deck of cards and he deals them how he sees fit. Ask yourself are you a champion?

Sweating profusely, breathing hard, legs weary,
This is killing me, my vision is becoming dreary.
I’ve come to far to turn back,
Hard work, determination, and the will to win are things I don’t lack.
All alone with just memories and a dream,
Now I realize everything is not what it seems.
“Come on baby don’t give up,”
Because I can remember a time when you did not want me to say what’s up.
“Let’s go Ian don’t let them bring you down,”
For the past two years I’ve been searching for answers about what went down..
“There is not room out here for the weak,”
You people treated me so cold my heart is harder than concrete.
“Stay on the grind. Patience is the key,”
Four years ago I tried to tell you my life was bad you did not listen to me.
“You cant stop, Rufus and Lynn need you to win,”
You people trashed my family’s name as if it wasn’t a sin.
“I know its hard but the great ones never quit,”
All of you told me you had my back yet you did not do shit.
I write to tell you how I feel,
This will be the closet to my mind you will ever get unless we cut a deal.
So here I stand,
I plant my pole here like this is my land.
Lost my 2 companions,
Now I stand amongst the champions.
