Go up, even, looked easy because of my height

Ha, but you would learn quick that I wasn't bad

And I had swag.. first step was way too fast

Trouble at 13, caused me to not participate

I hate it, because instead of coming back, I chose to flake

To this day, you can see glimpses of what was

But the work to catch up, my mind decided it was just too much

You can tell, if you watched, I still want it today

I grew away from it, now, it's just too late... or is it?

 

Why did I give it up?

I gave it up in my mind, not my heart

Saw what it took and quit before the start

Agile, why yes, move left and change right

And I've seen this get done by people my height

I could go, I've got power, dispite my stature

I think you could recognize the punch that I pack

Goal lines, big guys, and up-rights don't scare me

Practices for hours would help prepare me

But a lazy boy was I; where's my recliner?

If I had it back, I would push past it this time

See, the thing about time is that it waits for no man

I still got it in me, if I wanted it, I can

 

Why did I give it up?

I gave it up in my mind, not my heart

Saw what it took and quit before the start

I like good things, good human beings

Good ideas, and good sights and scenes

I would like to think, some things are right for me

But when I try for things, it ends up like the three

"You", "You, Too", and yes "You, Oh You"

shouldn't stop me from going for something new

Confidence shot, now, scared to go get it

And for an opportunity, I'll wait and sit

That's backwards, and having thoughts hereafter

Rejection's inevitable; the fear, I'm getting past her...
