All my life
People have said
You are not good enough
You are not strong enough
You know what I say
To hell with You

You can not stop me
You can not hinder me
Just try to put me down
See if you can kick me to the ground
Throw an obstacle in my path
Twice as hard I will throw it back

I will not say it has been easy
Since by nature I am true
The darkness sometimes blocks the light
And the will to live is gone
But it dose not last
For I have survived

So kick bit scream scratch
Do whatever you want
You can not hold me down
Smother me till only a spark is left
Beat me till only one ember remains
It is enough

Since life will give me lemons I will make lemonade
In the school of hard knocks I will give as good as I get
This race I will run to the bloody finish and win
Burning in me is a flame imperishable
My heart and spirit unquenchable
In me a phoenix is rising
