Within

I remember when i said "i am giving up".
My mom said look at me and said son i never bear a failure 
I remember when it got so hard that i saw nothing but felt like i was walking on a quick sand 
A voice of my dad said son look up i am here to motivate you 
I remember growing up, the bully at school gave me a good clap, i fell so hard and did not want to wake
I saw tears roll down my chick while the other kids laughed, the voice within said stand up and hit him 3 times harder then him. he became my friend from that day.
I got to show my new friend humor and how to treat others and stop
I remember playing football and the team was 3 - 0 down and the couch was busy saying to the team fight while i was on the sideline with him.
He got angry and said Sandile put on your shoes you are next. i scored 5 goals the end result were 4-5.
I have always been the one person no one has faith in 
Funny i have also been the one who restore faith in themselves 
I was not raised to have it easy 
I have always been questioned of how i do things.
I have always conquered to each task.
Even on my dead bed i know i will conquer 
Winning to me has never been given. i earn it 
Even when i stop believing in myself 
The voice that raised me remind me where i come from 
I come from behind to win 
I don`t lead to be lead
