Go for the Gold
Keep going, keep pushing; but in what direction?
Everyone out here is trying to teach a lesson
You can't teach those who have already been taught what you're trying to teach
So who you're trying to reach is unreachable; don't speak
Unless you are giving words of value and support
Because I, myself, am trying to abort
Those who take my dreams and talents lightly
And praise and please my family, honor them highly
Honored to make my mama proud
And it gotta be good to see my dad smile
To inspire a sister that's twelve years younger
To work hard for my family; that's hunger
To put in work for my school's name is dedication
To acheive my personal goals no sensation can
Parallel when I'm feeling well and fulfilling my own dreams
Planting my own seeds and picking my own green
It's not about the money, it's all about ambition
About getting out and doing far more than just wishing
About making a plan and the start of a mission
No more thinking with blinders, my sight is shifting
Between me and you, here is the difference
I'll keep pushing 'til my soul is lifted
You may push too but never as hard as me
I'll strain 'til I'm drained, nothing is stalling me
I stopped stalling; realized I could only succeed by hauling
My own weight, balancing my own freight
Forget fright until I reach the height of the tall gate
I'm not quite there yet but this here will inspire me
Whenever I feel like giving up, this here will enlighten me
Put fright in me, the fear to give up
And I can't let myself down, I've done too much; I'd
Love so much to reach my goal
So I won't get discouraged; go for the gold
