I Got Grit!

G – R – I – T

Hey!  You know me!

I got GRIT, and GRIT don’t quit!

When you look at me,

Tell me what ya’ see.

G – R – I – T

Hey!  You know me!

I got GRIT, and GRIT don’t quit!

It’s time to spit

‘Dis rhyme

And open ‘da eyes of ‘da blind.

G – R – I – T

Hey!  You know me!

So,

G – give it up for

R – right thinkin’

 I – I ain’t even blinkin’ cause ‘dis boat ain’t eva’ sinkin’!  I’m

T – totally committed to success

And purpose in my heart to be my very best!

I got GRIT, and GRIT don’t quit!

Yeah, I got GRIT, and GRIT don’t quit!

Are you hearin’ me?

Ain’t nothin’ but love stearin’ me.

I’m dedicated

Cause mediocre is overrated!

I got a GRIT perspective

My tolerance for doubt is defective

Life is my education

And I’m a part of a GRIT generation

‘Dat’s why I’m hastenin’ my steps

And givin’ no less than my very best

My greatest aim

Ain’t riches and fame

 It’s becoming ‘da best me

I can possibly be!

G – R – I – T

Hey!  You know me!

So,

G – give it up for

R – right thinkin’

 I – I ain’t even blinkin’ cause ‘dis boat ain’t eva’ sinkin’!  I’m

T – totally committed to success

And purpose in my heart to be my very best!

I got GRIT, and GRIT don’t quit!

Yeah!  I got GRIT, and GRIT don’t quit!

I must confide

I’m not satisfied

With followin’ ‘da crowd

Where my unique fingerprint isn’t allowed

I move to the beat of a different drum

Cause I believe in ‘da power of one

One person with GRIT

Can throw a mean hit

Force negativity to get

And inspire an entire army to neva’ quit!

So, tell me!  Do you got GRIT?

Then help me spit

‘Dis rhyme

And open ‘da eyes of ‘da blind.

G – R – I – T!
