Work for it, fight for it,
Run 'til you drop,
Trying hard not to be a flop,
Practicing, worrying,
Frustration overload,
Trying hard not to explode,
It's all about ability,
It's all about will,
It's all about what you make of it,
It's all about the thrill;
But more importantly...
It's all about control
Run 'til you drop,

It's all about the thrill;

Author notes
idk, if this will make any sense to you... to me I wrote it about jump rope, because the hardest part of jump rope is learning to control you rope movements during certain tricks, otherwise you'll mess up. But I feel that it can aply in real life, too. I mean who doesn't want to have control in their own life.
