IT

is IT in you?
seriously?
you dare to ask me is IT in you?
i'll tell you what's in me
and it's a hell of a lot more than IT
the drive and the pride and the will and the skill
the blood, sweat, and tears
because for you IT will suffice
i have to go longer and harder and stronger
faster, quicker
not just better the best
just to be seen as your equal
so i breath in breath out
and the shine in your eyes is dulled by my pride
because for me to survive
i issue beat downs
and it's you who keeps me from bonding together
with my female foes
because her victory is my defeat
and i refuse to lose and damage the IT that's inside me
so i go extra rounds
and rise when you fall
i wait for the pain that i know will come
but think of all that i can call mine
for pushing just one extra minute
when you put your hands down
so you question my inside
my strength, body, and mind
you have the balls to ask me
is IT in you?
your doubt in me
shows you fear that just because you got the skill
you lack the will
to push yourself beyond the edge
just as i have done to earn half the respect
i see the flicker, the quiver, the shiver
as i move side to side and glare in your eyes
but that one once of fear is all that i need
to breath in breath out for one more round
and say fuck you with my stare
i won't keep up with the boys
because i set the new expectations
and i surpass your doubt
and i will get your respect
and from my view at the top
i'll look down at you humbled and ask
is IT in you?
