With all the pressure we face,
we’re supposed to find ourselves.
With all the chaos that surrounds us,
we’re expected to remain calm.
We have to be strong;
one weak moment, and it’s all gone.
They tell us we have to get the perfect grades;
it’s not a game, everything’s at stake.
Keep on going, you’re almost there.
Keep on going, you can’t be selfish.
It’s not about you anymore.
It’s not a game.
You run, and then you crawl;
you have to make it to the finish line.
The others are passing you;
they’re faster, they’re stronger.
You’re losing, you’re future’s fading.
It’s not about you anymore.
It’s not a game.
