1This is what it is all about. The only thing that keeps you from being you, is falling off that thin line of winning or losing. And I am the one, who will win. I have trained for this day, when I was just a child. Watch me, world, I will own this.
Work it, make it, do it, makes us
Harder, better, faster, stronger
"Otto, you ready to make an awesome entrance?" My best friend told me.
"Twister, would there be any other way?"
(Work it harder, make it better)
N-n-now that that don't kill me
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
Can only make me stronger
(More than ever ever after)
I need you to hurry up now
(Our work is never over)
?Cause I can't wait much longer
The blood is pumping. Eyes stink from the speedy winds as I zoom through ramps and pipes. My body is weightless in the air. Fingers glide over the cement with no problem. The cheers of fans; are music to my ears.
I was born for this. It's in my blood.
(Work it harder, make it better)
I know I got to be right now
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
?Cause I can?t get much wronger
(More than ever ever after)
Man I?ve been waitin' all night now
(Our work is never over)
That's how long I?ve been on ya
Failure is a one mistake anyone can make. I only plan to make none, as I keep going. I just wish the others were here. With them around, I know I'm unbeatable. Even against theses losers.
"You're like any other newbie." One dork said to me. "You better watch out, or your dead, fresh meat."
Many more cruel words came, far worst then the last. But I never turn around and ran. I was no chicken. I will show them all, if who they're messing with.
I found out later, that those words could become famous last words.
Work it harder, make it better
Do it faster, makes us stronger
(I need you right now)
More than ever ever after
Our work is
(I need you right now)
"It's a simple sprain and a few bumps, but he should be fine."
"Thanks doc." Dad . . . is that really you?
"Hey, Rocket Boy." Reggie? "You hanging in there?"
I can only smile, seeing that, it was all I could do, with the pain that was soaring through my body. "What happen?" Finally seeing where I was, and not knowing why I was here.
Let?s get lost tonight
You could be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a f*** what they all say, right?
I was setup! Those jerks will get what's coming!
Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior
Damn they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask ?cause I'm not sure
Do anybody make real **** anymore?
The days fly by and I am finally ready to go back and this time, not alone. Seeing them in the stands, cheering with other faceless people, I don't know. But knowing they're there and here for me, are all I need to know, that I can do anything.
Walking passed by the back stabbers, smirking very clear for them all to see. "Watch out. I'm going to make you eat my dust to the skater cup."
Bow in the presence of greatness
?Cause right now thou has forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fake sh**
I wait for my turn up to show my stuff. I don't plan for them to get the best of me.
So go ahead go nuts, go ape sh**
Specially in my Pastel and my Bape sh**
Act like you can't tell who made this new gospel
Homey take six and take this, haters
I came here to fallow my dream, to be the best, and fallow in the great people who were once in this very same spot, on which I stand. The half-ramp is only the start.
(Work it harder, make it better)
N-n-now that that don't kill me
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
Can only make me stronger
(More than ever ever after)
I need you to hurry up now
(Our work is never over)
?Cause I can't wait much longer
The feeling is back. That blood pumping, skin shivering, lip biting, goose bumping moment. I can't help but laugh and do all the moves I have done and made my own as a child.
(Work it harder, make it better)
I know I got to be right now
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
?Cause I can?t get much wronger
(More than ever ever after)
Man I?ve been waitin' all night now
(Our work is never over)
That's how long I?ve been on ya
"Go Otto!"
"Yeah man. You got this!"
"Go, Rocket Boy, go!"
Work it harder, make it better
Do it faster, makes us stronger
(I need you right now)
More than ever ever after
Our work is
(I need you right now)
(Me likey)
Their inspiring words make me know I can do this. For my dad, step-mom, and sister's sake, I keep the cockiness down to a low pitch, for them, better than when I was a child. Can't let dad think I haven't change and let this get to me.
Grind the pipes. One-eighty and then a one-twenty-five and three flips in the air. A little something Reggie taught me. Though, I would never tell her, a word of thanks to her face.
I don't know if you got a man or not
If you made plans or not
If God put me in ya plans or not
I'm trippin', this drink got me sayin' a lot
Next level of the X-Games, the mount dirt bike race. Me and fifteen others are now nose to nose for the cup. Only four of them are the ones who are out to get me. Twisters' brother happens to one of them.
Now, I got to beat him. For the pleasure for not only myself, but the rest of the gang as well.
But I know that God put you in front of me
So how the hell could you front on me?
There's a thousand you's, there's only one of me
I'm trippin' I'm caught up in the moment, right?
"You really think your going to win, Rocket Loser?"
"Against someone like you? Yeah, I have a chance." Never realize that I was that cocky in anything, even now.
'Cause this is Louis Vuitton dime night
So we gon' do everything that Kan like
Heard they'd do anything for a KlondikeWell I?d do anything for a blonde ****
The dirt bike race, is a six lap race. Through hills, mud traps, and cliff jumps. Still, this was nowhere close to riding the waves of Ocean Shores.
And she'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Uh, baby you're makin' it
(Harder, better, faster, stronger)
The tracks are rough, mud and water blocks my eyesight of little to nothing. Few times of almost getting knocked out. I was close to first, but nowhere close to getting the gold.
(Work it harder, make it better)
N-n-now that that don't kill me
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
Can only make me stronger
(More than ever ever after)
I need you to hurry up now
(Our work is never over)
?Cause I can't wait much longer
Lars is close on my tail, and I got to lose him or kiss this winning goodbye. I can hear Twister booing his brother far off in the crowds.
(Work it harder, make it better)
I know I got to be right now
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
?Cause I can?t get much wronger
(More than ever ever after)
Man I?ve been waitin' all night now
(Our work is never over)
That's how long I?ve been on ya
A cliff comes up and I'm able to lose him a good half of a minute. Not much, but it's something I can work with.
The only other problem there was now, was . . .
Work it harder, make it better
Do it faster, makes us stronger
(I need you right now)
More than ever ever after
Our work is
(I need you right now)
A wave of mud splashes' me, most of it misses me. I do a side turn them and move ahead to get away. No way am I getting messed up in that.
"No way your crossing the finish line, fresh meat!" One yells, coming up close beside me.
You know how long I?ve been on ya?
Since Prince was on Apollonia
Since OJ had isotoners
Don't act like I never told ya
My legs beg for rest, but I'm not stopping now. I could just taste that solid-gold trophy.
Don't act like I never told ya
Don't act like I never told ya
With the rush of the winds, the mud is flying away from my eyes. I can see the checker flag.
Don't act like I never told ya
Don't act like I never told ya
Uh, baby you're making it
(Harder, better, faster, stronger)
I'm just counting the miles it takes. One . . . two . . . three . . . four . . . five . . .
(Work it harder, make it better)
N-n-now that that don't kill me
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
Can only make me stronger
(More than ever ever after)
I need you to hurry up now
(Our work is never over)
?Cause I can't wait much longer
I block out everything and focus on that flag of the finish line.
(Work it harder, make it better)
I know I got to be right now
(Do it faster, makes us stronger)
?Cause I can?t get much wronger
(More than ever ever after)
Man I?ve been waitin' all night now

Two cliff jumps and a mud trap. I ace them with sharpness of a hawk.
Work it harder, make it better

Ten! I did it! I really did it! I'm the next Tony Hawk! Yeah.
You know how long I?ve been on ya?
Since Prince was on Apollonia
Since OJ had isotoners
Don't act like I never told ya
My family and friends rush to me. I cover them in dirt hugs and receive my prize.
"Hey, fresh meat? Next year, you better watch out, you won't be so lucky." It's an empty threat. I pay it no mind. Even to whatever Lars has to say.
You know how long I?ve been on ya?
Since Prince was on Apollonia

Don't act like I never told ya
I am stronger. Because my family had faith in me. They can make you better than who you are now, work harder than ever to the ground; but with their kindness. But you can't be stronger without the help of others and right mind to do so.
The End.
