Make Or Break

To be the best at what he do
 He just kept kickin' and kickin' and kickin' until the bag wouldn't move
 Until his shins were numb
 He just kept powerin' through
 He wants to look after his mum
 Somethin' his dad couldn't do
 He used to train out in the park
 In the blistering cold
 Until the roads went dark and the streetlights gave you that orange glow
 He would keep kickin' but he would get kicked back 'til he had a broken nose
 It could've been boxing, could've been wrestling, it could've been taekwondo didn't matter he was there 6 days a week
 Same gym bag same trainers on his feet
 Worked on the door so he could eat
 Trained hard cause he didn't wanna taste defeat
 But sometimes you have to lose and learn before you become the man to beat
 And the night that his mum stood next to the cage to support him it was just clear to see
 She kept payin' and payin' and payin' for sessions and all of em paid off
 Cause now when he kicks, he doesn't feel pain and he could take somebodies face off
 He won in the second round but by then his mum would just ruin the make-up
 He made thirteen grand and dropped it all on his mother's table
 Life is only what you make of it
 We are born alone and time begins to tick
 I pray you...
 I pray you never let it break you
 Hey hey
 Life is only what you make of it
 We are born alone and time begins to tick
 I pray you...
 I pray you never let it break you
 Hey hey
 To fail and know it's too late
 There was three of em all of em cousins and they would play on the estate
 They didn't get along with the other kids
 So they would get into fights
 But the oldest cousin felt like he had to make sure they were nice
 So he started... fightin', fightin', always fightin' just to protect
 He put himself in a position where nobody liked him
 He got arrested for the last time
 Say good night to the bad guy
 Only sixteen lookin' at eighteen months and at least he'll do nine
 And this meant the younger cousins were left on the street to fend for themselves
 And now the protection's gone for the oldest out of the two it was hell
 And now he's just. fightin', fightin' always fightin'
 But he's not originally from this country so he's on his final warning
 He got deported back to his hometown where the older cousin was holed now
 Feelin' guilty his younger got sent home so he's ringin' his mobile phone now
 He didn't answer, and when he went on his facebook, it just said R.I.P
 The reason I know this story is because the oldest cousin in this was me
 Life is only what you make of it
 We are born alone and time begins to tick
 I pray you...
 I pray you never let it break you
 Hey hey
 Life is only what you make of it
 We are born alone and time begins to tick
 I pray you...
 I pray you never let it break you
 Hey hey
 Life is only what you make of it
 Life is only what you make of it
 Life is only what you make of it
 Life is only what you make of it
 Life is only what you make of it
 I pray you
 I pray you
 I pray you
 I pray you
 I pray you never let it break you
 Life is only what you make of it
 We are born alone and time begins to tick
 I pray you...
 I pray you never let it break you
