I Can’t Give Up Now; I Will Make It To The Top
Looking at myself with the eyes of my soul;
Longing for a day I will become wealthy and famous.
Hoping for a night I would sleep without the heartache.
I’m patiently waiting, but I’m tired of waiting.
My ears throb for good news.
My eyes are eager to weep for joy.
I have great dreams I want to achieve.
I can’t give up now; I’ve got to make it to the top.
I have seen how people’s life changes within a minute.
Within a minute, a destiny is fulfilled;
Within a minute, a life is destroyed.
I need a life-changing minute to favour me.
I have seen the ugly of life,
My eyes are now allergic to ugliness.
I need an optician, so I thought,
But all I need is to see the beauty within me.
My strength is in the red,
And I have lost motivation to charge it.
I have got to get back to the green line.
That’s where my success can be guaranteed.
I won’t stay still, I’m sorry I just can’t anymore.
Whatever is going to happen has to happen now.
My mind is made up, I can’t give up now on my dream.
I need to be wealthy and famous.
Some people say wealth is vanity,
And being famous is overrated.
I say let me have both wealth and fame first,
Then I can tell you the true version of the story.
I work diligently, hoping that my hard work will pay off.
My conscience is clean but my mind is wavering.
They said I should follow passion, not money.
But won’t passion fade when you have no money?
I have no time to waste; I have to get to the top.
I have to be wealthy and famous,
Because that’s the destiny I choose for myself.
And that destiny must be fulfilled.
Who will help me achieve my dream?
Hmm, I realize I’m all alone in this world.
But I won’t let my challenges to steal away my destiny.
I can’t give up now so I will strive to get to the top.
Walk, I commanded my legs.
Walk into your life-changing opportunity.
I waited for an opportunity to come my way,
But, I’m done waiting; I’m just going to walk into it.
I refuse to get discouraged.
I refuse to wallow in self-pity.
If the road to my success is blocked,
I will construct a new road to success.
It doesn’t matter where I am now;
I can feel it within my bones that I will be great in life.
It doesn’t matter how tough up there is,
I will surely make it to the top.
