On the mats against a bigger opponent
Trying to make it through the round
Not tap out finish strong trying to escape
Free from dead weight not pinned down
Wiggle out of this tough situation
Find an open area away from pressure
Make the person work for the submission
Keep working till the alarm goes off
Exhausted burnt out onto the next round
Sweaty definitely ready for more

Trying to stay on beat a major key
Focus on the count hit every note
Keep up with tempo matching the band
Lots of practice work on technique
Be prepared not a nervous wreck
Survivor mode be able to hang
Proving it can be done
Able to replicate most of all produce

Never cared for political views
Respect everyones faith and beliefs
Be a good person treat one another right
The community divided more than ever
It's not about being right anymore
Build trust with vulnerability
Try to understand different perspectives
But doing the right thing be better
Instead of united being supportive
The imposition causing hate to rise
Have an opinion gets you attacked
Stay silence the internal turmoil burns

It was his first day he was use to rejection
Surprised she agreed to an evening
Trying to get to know one another
More than puppy love it felt natural
Not one to force things let it be organic
Honesty is important once a lie is injected
Things being to fall apart hard to trust
No longer the same question everything
Being genuine remain loyal around toxicity
Dealing with betrayal infuriating within
The compromise is no longer worth sacrifice

That lingering thought to compete
Knowing what it takes to rise up
Get in the gym go through the motions
Days and nights giving your all
Being sore after training slower recovery
Balancing the sport and work to survive
All that hard work going towards a goal
Always going hard no towards something
Preparing for this event physically
Mentally focused learn apply the technique

Cracking jokes being fun again
Took the job serious and gained nothing
Taking back self respect moved on
Looking else where pushed away
No reason to stay not one to snitch
Not going to hide quick to square up
Stand my ground fought back
Tired of not being heard after speaking
Did the work why the lazy complain
Sad to see everything decline
Trying to get ahead or come out even

Hard to remember tried to block it out
All you wanted was to forget
That person made you feel good
Then in the snap of a finger
Made you feel useless
Unworthy of their time
Did you ***** now playing the victim
The lies spoken the actions don't match
Giving your all and it's declining
It felt worth with time lost value
Felt meaningless after a while
Turned your back now it's over done
Let it fade on its own corrupt demise
