Stay Hungry ft. John Lee Dumas Lyrics

Stay hungry, stay hungry

Time and time again I see people looking to others for permission

Permission to start, permission to stop, permission to breathe

Why do we feel the need to seek permission from others

Stay hungry

On the common path to uncommon success

The only permission you need is from yourself

There's always another level

Another mountain to climb, race to run, hand to help, mouth to feed

Wrong to write, song to sing

This is your life, your opportunity, your path

Why should we allow someone else to lead the way

In a single word

Don't

Don't wait another second, do it now

Lay hold of it, go after it

Set a goal and beat it, raise the bar and leap it

A goal is nothing more than a dream with a deadline

Turn back on that dream machine

Get a new vision, a new mission

Find your purpose for living

Comparing yourself to others will always lead to despair

There will always be someone who is richer, taller, skinnier, more muscular, prettier, happier, more successful

There will also always be someone poorer, fatter, weaker, uglier, sadder, and less successful

Just because they've given up on their dreams

Doesn't mean you've given up on yours

You're not a quitter

Don't take average advice from average people

Surround yourself with fighters that are gonna make you stretch

Find your purpose for living

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up

You're not a quitter

If they just held on a little longer

Stay hungry

Stop procrastinating before it steals your time and unlimited potential

Stay hungry

Keep knocking door to door, call to call, email to email

You gotta be relentless

You gotta want this

Stay hungry

If you remember the following, you'll lead a happier life

The only person you should compare yourself to is you yesterday

You're not a quitter

Who you fighting for

You're not a quitter

Your family? Mom, Dad, husband, wife

Find your purpose for living

Why don't you give your kids the life you never had

Stay hungry

Sometimes it takes 99 no's until you hear one yes

But that one yes can change your life

On the common path to uncommon success, we win at life

If it seems impossible, good

My God is in the business of doing the impossible, that's what he does

Pray, meditate, get a positive mind state

Then lock in

Go to work and don't come home until you get it

Just like the marathon runners who run until their feet ache, their bones hurt

Sweat dripping off their face and sting their eyes

Stomach cramps that make Olympic athletes want to collapse

But those with the hunger and desire to win

Push a little harder, run a little more

Until they hit that moment of breakthrough

And develop what's called a second wind

And all of a sudden the cramps are gone

And they can run harder and faster than they ever have before

Across that finish line

It's time to start living like you dream

Stay hungry
