Because I call you lettuce,
doesn't mean you will turn green.
Like saying you are dirty,
doesn't mean you are obscene.

Because I say you can't,
doesn't mean that you're not able.
Because someone calls you something,
doesn't mean that's your label.

It doesn't matter what they say,
if its not true, it won't stick.
Like water to a ducks back,
shake it off, that's the trick.

Remember to keep yourself focused,
on the reason you got in the game.
Value is placed on accomplishments,
its the act and not the name!
