Once A Nice Guy Always A Nice Guy

[Sample]
You ain't gon' believe this
But, you used to fit right here
I'd hold you up to say to your mother
"This kid's gonna be the best kid in the world
This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew"
And you grew up good and wonderful
It was great just watchin' you every day
It was like a privilege
Then, the time come for you to be your own man
And take on the world and you did!
But somewhere along the line
You changed
You stopped bein' you
You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good
And when things got hard
You started looking for something to blame
Like a big shadow
Lemme 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 permanently 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 get hit and keep movin' forward
How much you can take and keep movin' forward
That's how winnin' is done!
Now, if you know what you're worth
Then, go out and get what you're worth
But, you gotta be willin' to take the hits
And not pointin' fingers sayin'
You ain't where you wanna be because of him or her or anybody
Cowards do that and that ain't you!
You're better than that!
