No One Said Life Was Easy

Let me be real with you
Life will punch you in the face
And it will kick you while you're on the ground
It doesn't wait for you to catch your breath
It doesn't care if you're tired
If you're broken
If you've done everything right
One moment you're standing tall
The next you're on your back wondering what just happened

But here's the truth
Life isn't meant to be fair
It's meant to test you
To find out if you really want what you say you want

You will face setbacks, you will lose people
You'll be overlooked, underestimated
And told you're not good enough

There'll be days when everything in you screams to quit
But you don't quit, you don't throw in the towel
You wipe the blood from your face
Plant your feet and dare life to swing again

Because strength isn't about never failing
It's about refusing to stay down
It's about choosing to rise again and again and again

When everything hurts
When the odds say "no"
When fear whispers "you done"
You don't stop
You endure
You evolve
You overcome
Because the people who made it, the real warriors
Aren't the ones to have it easy
They're the ones who refuse to break

So when the sun comes; and it will come
Don't curse it, face it
Because you were built for the fight
And giving up; that was never in your DNA

No one said life was easy
So don't you dare quit when it gets hard
Life will punch you in the face
And it will kick you while you're on the ground, it's called a test
Are you gonna stay down?
Are you gonna accept defeat like a coward?
Or will you get back up and fight like a warrior?

They won't see the work
They won't see the pain
They won't see the sacrifices you made
They'll see you win and claim it was luck

But listen, life isn't gonna hand you anything
It's gonna knock you flat
Test your will
Break your plans and ask
"You still want it?"

And at that moment, when most fold, you rise
You work through the doubt
You fight through every "no"
Until the world has no choice but to say "yes"

You don't quit, you don't run
You build yourself
Day by day, rep by rep
'Till you're unshakeable
'Till you're undeniable
'Till you become everything they said you'll never be

In life you may fumble, you will fail
It will seem impossible sometimes but you can never give up
Things don't always go to plan
You will make mistakes, you will be down
And everyone will think you're out
But you can never give up
