- You ain't gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here. I'd hold you up and say to your mother: this kid is going to be the best kid in the world. This kid is gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew.
And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching, every day was like a privilege. Then the time came for you to be your own man and take on the world and you did.
But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you are not good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame like a big shadow.
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!
If you know what you're worth, go and get what you are worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers, saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You are better than that!
I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You are the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself,you ain't gonna have a life.
