[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Life is only what you make of it [x5] I pray you [x4] I pray you never let it break you [Chorus] 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
