Succeed Lyrics

Who you are is miraculous

Your formation an amalgamation

Of time, chance, sexual circumstance

And a divine chant of "Yes!"

As the angels danced to the idea

Of what you can be if you find your identity

You faced odds even the most addicted

Powerball, Mega Millions, number runner

Wouldn't scratch, not risking the wager

The competition, from sperm brothers & sisters

40 million to 1.2 billion

Fighting, bumping, swimming ahead

Avoiding white blood cells

Wanting the foreign invaders dead

Finally reaching the destination

Selected by the egg for fertilization

From a zygote to embryonic development

Cellular division adds to your embellishment

Organs begin to form, a heart that beats, it's

The first of many systems before you become a fetus

The journey's rough, especially the first trimester

You survived miscarriage & effects from outside pressures

On your mother, as she vomits & feels sickening

You give hope as you flutter – she feels your quickening

More motivation to bring you from her womb to this world

She loved you before she knew you'd be a boy or girl

Now you're born, transition from fetus to babe complete

New beginning, special creation, your mold elite

Instructions encoded in DNA, chosen purpose

Decoded through self-discovery on the Earth's surface

Destined for contributions spawned from unique dreams

From your inception you've been a winner; you can succeed

Success gives meaning to the dash

Between the numbers on your headstone

Obituaries solemn cliff notes

Of the prose denoting the life we chose

What is success? Is it progress

Seen on a dream once deemed deferred

Or achieving status in the sight of the herd

Who didn't believe, mocking you as absurd

Life & success walk hand in hand

Over the sands of time enchanting the plans of man

Money is the fuel that drives many

Accumulation of goods supplies plenty

To go extra miles & speed on this journey

Weaving past consistency & patience in a hurry

Anxious for attention, fortune & fame

Lusting for power over a good name

But with fame comes a million voices in your head

Fake friends, fanatics, fickle fans, trolls want you dead

Phones forced in your face for selfies, while paparazzi

Blitzes at top speed swarming like kamikaze

And money stacks attract a fresh batch of attacks

From family & randoms ready to break your back

With the weight of their problems, pressure to fix with cash

No matter what you do for them they're ready to bash

Instead pursue happiness, liberty, & life

From a greater power than Jefferson's pen could write

Accomplish goals with purpose, intimate selection

You're God's prized purchase; in Him you are perfection

Now prosperity can be had with no sorrow

Be a lender with joy, a giver not having to borrow

An asset to the community, leave a legacy

Immortalized for heavenly pedigree – you can succeed

Every person you meet is a collection

Of short stories containing volumes

Of knowledge, wisdom, victories & defeats

If you read the right ones, discerning

Attributes to advance within, & discard

Those without merit, you'll be learning

Staring at a library of experiences

Anthologies of communal anthropology

The study of the folks here & after

Sandwiched between generations

Gems get gifted, intellectual heirlooms

Investments for familial stability

Extending to the children's children

In Trust, last Will & Testament

Insuring a life of multiplied successfulness

Fruit of your labor, reward granted

For being committed to your business

Full of busyness, avoiding the busy mess

The keys to success blend like a chord

They mesh majorly with minors to go forward

Happiness & positivity the melody

The bass set with responsible accountability

Solo notes are journeys of self-care, be stress free

Riffs repeat feats of perseverance & resiliency

Beautiful music can be made, just stay on key

Practice your instrument properly; you can succeed
