Make Or Break |
To be the best at what he do |
He just kept kickin', and kickin', and kickin' until the bag wouldn’t move |
Until his shins were numb |
He just kept powerin' through |
He wants to look after his mum |
Somethin' his dad couldn’t do |
He used to train out in the park |
In the blistering cold |
Until the roads went dark and the streetlight’s gave you that orange glow |
He would keep kickin' but he would get kicked back 'til he had a broken nose |
It could’ve been boxing |
It could’ve been wrestling |
It could’ve been taekwondo |
Didn’t matter, he was there six days a week |
Same gym bag, same trainers on his feet |
Worked on the door so he could eat |
Trained hard 'cause he didn’t wanna taste defeat |
But sometimes you have to lose and learn before you become the man to beat |
And the night that his mum stood next to the cage to support him it was just |
clear to see |
She kept payin' and payin' and payin' for sessions, and all of em paid off |
Cause now when he kicks, he doesn’t feel pain and he could take somebodies face |
off |
He won in the second round, but by then his mum had just ruined her make-up |
He made thirteen grand and dropped it all on his mother’s table |
Life is only what you make of it |
We’re born alone and time begins to tick |
I pray you, I pray you never let it break you |
Hey, hey |
Life is only what you make of it |
We’re born alone and time begins to tick |
I pray you, I pray you never let it break you |
Hey, hey |
To fail and know it’s too late |
There was three of 'em all of 'em cousins |
And they would play on the estate |
They didn’t get along with the other kids |
So they would get into fights |
But the oldest cousin felt like he had to make sure they were nice |
So he started fightin', fightin', always fightin' just to protect |
He put himself in a position where nobody liked him |
He got arrested for the last time |
Say goodnight to the bad guy |
Only sixteen lookin' at eighteen months and at least he’ll do nine |
And this meant the younger cousins were left on the street to fend for |
themselves |
And now the protection’s gone for the oldest out of the two |
It was hell |
And now he’s just fightin', fightin' always fightin' |
But he’s not originally from this country so he’s on his final warning |
He got deported back to his hometown where the older cousin was home now |
Feelin' guilty his younger got sent home so he’s ringin' his mobile phone now |
But he didn’t answer, and when he went on his facebook |
It just said R.I.P |
The reason I know this story is because the oldest cousin in this was me |
Life is only what you make of it |
We’re born alone and time begins to tick |
I pray you, I pray you never let it break you |
Hey, hey |
Life is only what you make of it |
We’re born alone and time begins to tick |
I pray you, I pray you never let it break you |
Hey, hey |
Life is only what you make of it |
Life is only what you make of it |
Life is only what you make of it (What you make of it) |
Life is only what you make of it- |
I pray you (I pray), I pray you (Oh, I pray) |
I pray you (I pray), I pray you (Oh, I pray), I pray you never let it break you |
(You never, ever let it break you, yeah) |
Life is only what you make of it |
We are born alone and time begins to tick |
I pray you, I pray you never let it break you |
Hey, hey |
