Don
Beres Hammond Lyrics

It's either you're in or out
You have to make a choice, either commit fully or don't bother at all.

Gotta know what you're all about
You can't make that choice if you don't know who you are and what you stand for.

Be bold and strong
You need to be confident and fearless in your decision.

Tell yourself you're not doing wrong
Trust your instincts and don't doubt yourself.

Once you're in you've got to take it
Commitment means doing everything it takes to succeed.

Make your mind up son and face it
You have to be determined and resolute even in the face of opposition.

Because Warriors don't cry
Being a true warrior means being tough, strong, and resilient.

I know lots of folks will hate you
You will encounter naysayers who don't want you to succeed.

And not because they want to
Sometimes, people will dislike you for no apparent reason.

But sometimes they don't even know why
Their animosity may be unfounded, even if they don't realize it.

So don't watch the crowd
Don't pay attention to detractors or non-believers.

Their duty is to be loud
Some people will seek to discourage you, but you must block out the noise.

Believe in what you're doing
Have confidence in yourself and your purpose.

And feel proud
Be proud of who you are and what you're trying to achieve.

Cause when you fall along the way
There will be setbacks in your journey.

People will have lots to say
People will criticize and say negative things about your struggles.

They don't really care
Many people won't care about your failures as much as they do your success.

If you make it through the day
Success is a journey and making it through each day is a step towards it.

There's no true friend when you're hungry
People may act like a friend to get something from you, not because they actually care.

Not if he is hungry too, no
Even people in the same situation may turn on you for their benefit.

At time you can't rely
Depend only on your ability to overcome challenges.

Because the same brother
Someone who you may consider a friend may betray you.

Will sell you with the offer, yes
They may deceive you with a tempting offer to benefit themselves.

Feels good and sets him right
They'll do it to benefit themselves and feel good about it at the same time.

Either you're in or out
Emphasizes the importance of making a committed decision.

Gotta know what you're all about
You can't make an informed decision without knowing who you are and what you stand for.

Be bold and strong
Confidence and fearlessness are key traits to embody.

Tell yourself you're not doing wrong
Trust your instincts and let them guide you.

Once you're in prepared to take it
Preparation is key to going all-in and taking that leap of faith.

Make your mind up son and face it yes
Determination and resolution are necessary to achieve your goals.

Cause warriors don't cry
Being tough and resilient are key traits of a true warrior.

I know lots of folks will hate you and
Negativity and criticism will come your way from some people.

Not because they want to, no
It may not even be a personal attack, they just don't believe in what you're doing.

Sometimes they don't even know why
The root cause of the negativity may not stem from a legitimate reason.

So don't watch the crowd
Ignore negative chatter and block out the noise.

Their duty is to be loud
Some people are negative by nature and will seek to discourage you.

Believe in what you're doing
Have faith in yourself and your purpose.

And feel proud
It's important to have confidence and pride in your journey.
