They’ll Only Understand When It’s Too Late

[Music] well you'll join the long list of fools who only understand when the clocks already run out life doesn't hand out Second Chances not for people like us you think the world's got a heart don't you you think if you scream loud enough someone will come running let me tell you something lad no one's coming you're on your own always have been always will be people don't care about your struggle not really they might say they do might throw you a few crumbs of sympathy to make themselves feel better but when the chips are down

they'll step over your bleeding body to save their own skin that's the truth no one wants to admit and the sooner you face it the stronger you'll become but here's the thing strength doesn't come from words or promises strength comes from Pain real pain the kind that rips you apart leaves you clawing at the walls begging for it to stop that's when you find out who you really are not when things are good not when life's easy no it's when you're on your knees spitting blood and swallowing your pride that you decide whether you're a

Survivor or just another casualty you think think people respect weakness they don't they despise it they might not say it to your face but they'll see you struggle and all they'll think is better him than me they'll pity you sure but pity is not respect pity's poison it weakens you makes you rely on the scraps they throw you and that's what they want they want you dependent weak easy to control but not me not you either you don't need their pity you don't need their handouts you need to stand up spit in their faces and

take what's yours let me tell you something about loss loss isn't just about the people you bury it's about the pieces of yourself you lose along the way your innocence your trust your hope every time someone betrays you every time someone leaves you behind they take a piece of you with them and if you're not careful you'll wake up one day and realize there's nothing left that's why you've got to fight for yourself no one else will people think they've got time that's the biggest lie of all they think they can afford to waste it

to wait for the right moment the perfect opportunity but time doesn't wait for anyone one day you're standing tall and thinking you've got got it all figured out and the next you're 6 ft Under And The World Keeps spinning without you no one's going to stop and mourn the time you wasted no one's going to care about the dreams you left undone they'll only understand when it's too late when you're gone when they look back and realize you were the one holding everything together but by then it won't matter will it you'll be dust and

they'll be left with nothing but regrets and that's the cruestv all his voice softens but the intensity remains cutting like a blade you've you got a choice to make you can sit here feeling sorry for yourself waiting for someone to save you or you can get up wipe the blood off your face and fight fight for your life for your future for the respect you deserve but don't do it for them don't do it to prove them wrong do it for your yourself because at the end of the day when it's all said and done

you're the one who's got to live with the choices you make people will hate you for it they'll call you selfish ruthless a bastard let them their opinions don't matter what matters is that you survive what matters is that you keep moving forward no matter how many times you get knocked down because survival is its own kind of Victory and in this world Victory is all that counts remember this no one's going to hand you the life you want you've got to take it steal it if you have to and if they try to stop

you well you do what needs to be done because in the end it's not about being liked or loved or even remembered it's about surviving it's about winning and you can't win if you're too afraid to fight so what's it going to be eh you you going to sit here waiting for the world to chew you up and spit you out or are you going to stand up face it head on and show them what you're made of the choice is yours but don't take too long to decide time waits for no one remember silence

feels heavy almost unbearable but within it a spark ignites a fire the kind that can't be extinguished the kind that drives a man to rise to fight to survive and as the weight of his words settles you realize he's right they'll only understand when it's too late but by then you'll be long gone standing on the ashes of every everything they said you couldn't achieve you think this is a game you think you've got all the Time in the World to figure it out let me tell you something about life it doesn't wait for you

to get your head on straight it doesn't stop and give you a breather because you're tired or unsure no it just keeps coming Relentless as a bloody storm you either learn to weather it or you drown simple as that look at me go on take a good hard look you see these scars each one tells a story not one of Victory Or Glory but of survival every cut every bruise it's a lesson a reminder that the world doesn't care about your pain you have learn from it or it breaks you and let me tell you

something lad broken people don't survive they're Left Behind forgotten tramped under the boots of those strong enough to carry on but here's the real kicker strength isn't Bor born from winning it's forged in loss in failure and betrayal you think you've been betrayed before you haven't seen anything yet the people closest to you the ones you die for they're the ones who will hurt you the most not because they want to but because they can because you let them Trust trust is the sharpest blade of all give it to the wrong person and it'll cut

you deeper than anything you've ever known and when they cut you when they leave you bleeding don't you dare lie down and die don't you dare give them the satisfaction of seeing you broken stand up Stand Tall wipe the blood from your face and look them in the eye as if to say is that all you've got because in the end that's what terrifies people the most not your pain not your anger but your refusal to quit your ability to keep going no matter how much they throw at you and don't think for a second

that life will ever give you a break it won't you'll fight one battle only to find another waiting right behind it that's the nature of this world it's a war and you've got to be ready to fight every single day but here's the thing about war it doesn't just kill you it changes you you it strips away everything you thought you were until all that's left is the truth the bare unflinching truth of who you really are do you know who you are no don't answer that because the truth is you don't not yet you've

got this image in your head this idea of the person you think you're supposed to be be but let me tell you something that person doesn't exist not really he's just a figment of your imagination a mask you wear to make the world think you've got it all together but when the world strips that mask away when it tears you down to your core that's when you'll see the truth [Music] and it won't be pretty it won't be what you want to see but it'll be real and in the end that's all that matters you've

got to stop waiting for someone to save you stop waiting for the perfect moment the perfect opportunity because it doesn't exist there's no such thing as the right time there's only now this moment and if you waste it you'll regret it for the rest of your life trust me I know I've spent more nights than I care to count lying awake haunted by the ghosts of what could have been but ghosts don't change anything regret doesn't change anything action does you want to know the secret to surviving in this world it's not about being the

strongest or the smartest it's about being relentless Unstoppable the kind of person who gets knocked down 100 times but gets back up 101 the kind of person who doesn't stop until they've taken everything they've ever wanted and more because that's what it takes that's what this world demands relentlessness ruthlessness the willingness to do whatever it takes to win and don't fool yourself into thinking you can do it for anyone else you've got to do it for you not for your family not for your friends not for some noble cause for you because at the end

of the day you're the one who's got to live with yourself you're the one who's got to look in the mirror and face the person staring back at you and and if you don't like what you see well no one else is going to fix that for you so here's what you're going to do you're going to stand up you're going to stop feeling sorry for yourself you're going to stop waiting for life to hand you something it never will you're going to take every ounce of pain every scrap of betrayal every single moment that

tried to break you and you're going to use it turn it into fuel let it burn so hot inside you that it makes you Unstoppable because that's the only way you win not by waiting not by hoping by taking you think the people who make it to the top got there by being kind by being patient by waiting their turn no they clawed they fought they bled for every inch they didn't ask for permission they took what was theirs and that's what you're going to do you're going to look at this world at everyone who

ever doubted you whoever underestimated you and you're going to show them exactly who the hell you are but let me warn you it won't be easy it'll be the hardest thing you've ever done there'll be days when you feel like you can't go on when the weight of everything threatens to crush you you'll want to give up two crawl back into the shadows and let the world pass you by [Music] but you can't not if you want to survive not if you want to win because giving up that's what they expect you to do they're

counting on it every person who's ever written you off every person who's ever said you weren't good enough they're waiting for you to fail they're watching hoping you'll prove them right and you know what that's exactly why you can't give them the satisfaction that's exactly why you've got to keep going no matter what and don't you dare make excuses don't you dare blame the world or your circumstances or anyone else for for where you are right now because the truth is no one cares no one's coming to save you and no one's going to fix

your life for you if you want something you've got to fight for it if you want respect you've got to earn it if you want Power you've got to take it that's the way it works that's the way it's always always worked and I'll tell you something else the moment you stop caring what other people think the moment you stop living for their approval is the moment you become truly dangerous because when you're not tied down by their opinions when you're not Shackled by their expectations there's nothing they can do to stop you you begin

become Unstoppable and that's exactly what you need to be you've got to understand something that life is short too short to waste on fear or doubt or waiting for the perfect moment because that moment will never come the only time you've got is now this moment and if you waste it you'll regret it for the rest of your life trust me I know what regret feels like I've felt it every day since the war since the choices I made since the people I lost but you don't have to you can choose to fight you can

choose to rise and when you do when you finally stand up and take control of your life they'll notice oh they'll notice all right the people who doubted you who dismiss you they'll start to see you in a different light but by then it won't matter will it because you won't need their approval you won't need their validation you'll have something far more valuable respect not theirs yours self-respect the knowledge that you fought that you didn't give up that you earned your place in this world but no mistake they'll only understand when it's too late

when you've already won when you've already left them behind and that's fine let them catch up when they can let them regret underestimating you you don't need their understanding their apologies their explanations all you need is to keep moving forward because that's what it means to be alive to keep going no matter what so what's it going to be are you going to sit here feeling sorry for yourself waiting for life to hand you something it never will or are you going to stand up look the world in the eye and take what's yours because

if you don't someone else will and if you think this world owes you something you're dead wrong the only thing it owes you is the chance to fight and that chance lad it's right here right now you think I've said all I need to say think I've told you enough to light a fire under you no I haven't even begun to cut deep yet sit there sit still and listen because what I'm about to say might be the last bit of Truth you hear before the world swallows you whole You've got this image in your

head this illusion that life works out for those who wait maybe you've heard that patience is a virtue maybe they told you that hard work alone is enough that if you stay in line someone will notice you well let me tell you something about waiting it's a slow death waiting is for people who don't understand the game life isn't a bloody way to room it's a battlefield and on a battlefield you don't survive by sitting still and hoping someone spares you you survive by taking the fight to them I've seen men die with their hopes

still clenched in their fists do you know what they were waiting for a sign a miracle some magic iCal moment where the stars align and everything becomes clear but let me tell you something about signs they don't come you've got to make your own you've got to stop hoping the universe will give you what you need and take it rip it out of its hands if you have to because no one no one is going to give you a damn thing but here's the truth and it's going to hurt even when you fight even when

you give everything you've got it still might not be enough life doesn't play fair you could Pour Your Blood Sweat and soul into something and it might still fall apart that's the real ity of this world it's cruel unrelenting and it doesn't give a damn about your dreams but that doesn't mean you stop it doesn't mean you quit because quitting isn't an option you think you're tired now you think you've reached your limit you haven't even scratched the surface of what you're capable oh your body will scream your mind will beg you to stop but

you've got to keep pushing because the moment you give in the moment you let the pain win is the moment you lose everything you're not here to exist you're here to dominate to leave a mark so deep so unshakable that even after you're gone they'll still feel your presence but that doesn't come easy it doesn't come without sacrifice you'll lose things people trust maybe even parts of yourself and that's the price you've got to be willing to pay because nothing worth having comes without a cost let me ask you something what are you willing to

lose what are you willing to give up to get where you need to be if your answer is anything less than everything then you're not ready not yet but if you can look me in the eye and tell me you're willing to lose it all your comfort your safety your very Soul then maybe just maybe you've got a chance and let me tell you another thing about people they'll laugh at you they'll mock your dreams call you crazy tell you it's impossible that's their way of masking their own fear their own failures they see you

trying and it reminds them of everything they're too scared to do so they'll try to drag you down keep you at their level because the thought of you Rising terrifies them and you know what you do when that happens you let them laugh let them mock and then when you've climbed higher than they ever thought possible you look down and you smile not out of kindness not out of forgiveness but out of satisfaction satisfaction that you didn't let their fear become your cage but don't ever expect them to understand they won't not until it's too

late not until you've left them behind standing in the ruins of their own mediocrity while you've built something Unstoppable and by then their understanding won't matter their apologies their admiration it'll all be me less because you'll have already won you'll have proven them wrong not with words but with action with results and here's the hardest part you've got to do this alone Oh They'll pretend to support you at first they'll cheer for you when it's convenient when it costs them nothing but the most the moment your success starts to outshine them the moment your ambition

becomes a threat they'll turn on you don't hate them for it it's human nature people fear what they can't control what they can't understand and a man like you relentless [Music] unyielding that's the kind of man they'll never understand but don't let their fear become yours don't let their doubts creep into your mind you've got to be stronger than that stronger than them because this world doesn't belong to the weak or the hesitant it belongs to the Bold the ruthless the one's willing to do whatever it takes and if you're not willing to be that

person then step aside make room for someone who is but if you are if you're ready to rise to fight to bleed then prove it not to me not to them to yourself because at the end of the day that's the only person who matters that's the only person you've got to answer to so ask yourself are you ready to be the man who takes what's his who builds his own destiny with his bare hands or are you going to let this world chew you up and spit you out like it's done to so many

others before you [Music]
