Being Successful
Life offered me a snack but i wanted a meal,
i thought i deserved more than that so i rejected the deal.
Why settle for little when i desire a lot?
I told life i demanded more and thats what i got.
Because my desire to succeed is much more than you'd believe,
No matter how long it takes me to achieve.
My aims from life whether big or small,
My targets are all in sight and i will achieve them all.
Since a young boy ive had this mentality,
to make my dreams turn into reality,
and i vowed never to allow,
people's opinions to get me down,
because being successful is something i have to be.
And i realise the halfway point to success is belief,
Which is why, i will strive to be the person i want to be,
cus its my life but im not the only person expecting a lot from me,
being successful isnt a wish, its something I've got to be.
