No Excuses Lyrics

No more excuses, no more victim mentality, blaming other people for my problems

I'm taking full responsibility

Yeah, my dad left me at five years old and committed suicide

Left my mom alone to raise me and my sister

It was hard, but I will not use it as a crutch or an excuse not to be successful

My past will not shape my present nor dictate my future

I'm my own man now

I'm the architect of my life

I will rewrite my story and finish my race strong

God truly is the father to the fatherless

Even if you can't see him, he sees you and there still is a purpose and plan for your

Life

So what if they took advantage of you, ripped you off in a deal

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn

I will grow from this, but I will not be one of those people who retells their story of

Woe over and over again to anyone who will listen

They say life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to what happens to you

It's not about the hand you're dealt, but how well you play that hand

Instead of feeding myself excuses why I can't, I will feed myself reasons why I can and will

Don't tell me you're too tired, too sore, too busy, I don't have enough time

We're all given the same 24 hours in a day

It's how you spend your time that separates the successful to the unsuccessful

If it really matters to you, you will find a way and get it done

No money, lack of connections, or geography can stop you

But I'm too old or I'm too late they say

Look, Ray Kroc didn't start McDonald's until he was 52

Steve Jobs released the first iPhone in his early 50s

If you think trying to go for your dream is risky, wait until life hands you the bill

Ten years later for not trying

Fear is temporary, regret is forever

I've already got a million reasons why I can't, but I just need one reason why I can

Everyone thought the four minute mile was impossible until on a wet, cool day, May 6, 1954, Roger

Bannister broke through that barrier

Even his rivals breathed a sigh of relief that this goal was actually attainable

That which seems unreachable becomes the new benchmark now with thousands who have conquered

That four minute mountain

If you think you can, you can

And you can be next

No excuses
