You Give Up, You Lose It

The moment you stop striving for your goal
Is the moment all your work goes down the drain
The moment the whole machine winds down the drain
You send the tires of success screeching to a halt
When you let the firepower in your heart die
The rest of the body slumps and goes down the drain
Slackening the zeal dooms the plan down the drain
The work you spent in starting the whole plan
Is in vain spent, being lost down the drain
You stop trying and your dreams go down the drain
You give up and you lose it


The hour you stop believing that you can do it
Is the hour your business goes down the gutter
That hour your climb takes a drop down the gutter
Losing faith in yourself is like cutting off the wings
And the rest of you come crashing down the gutter
When you waver and dither in your heart of hearts
The foundation of success is washed down the gutter
You extinguish the fire of your self-confidence
Sending the opportunities wasting down the gutter
You lose the faith and your hopes go down the gutter
You give up and you lose it

The instant you stop learning and learning
Is the instant your powerful powers go down the ditch
The instant your relevance disappears down the ditch
You derail your future and end up in a dark ditch
When you let the learning curiosity in your heart die
The life in you begins expiring, going down the ditch
You kill knowledge and you starve down the ditch
As you ignore the daily nourishment of knowledge
You suffer ignorant malnourishment down the ditch
And you have your reliability crashing down the ditch
You give up and you lose it
