The Tattooed Teacher

I probably listen to this song at least once everyday when I drive to work. It’s from my favorite band – Madball. They’re the godfathers of NYHC. This is how I get my mind right when I need the motivation.

“Adapt And Overcome” – by Madball

Your worst enemy is your self
Who do you believe in?
Well I believe, I believe in me
Will you fight, or give in?
I’ll stop at nothing, to be something
Who do they believe in?
In themselves, they believe in me
How will you lead them?
By making something out of nothing

Self doubt has been getting the best of me
For way to long
I’ve been fighting this, fighting this all my life
Now I’m ready for it to be gone
I know I have the courage
I know I have the strength too
I know I have the will
The power to do what I want to do

Adapt and overcome
Rise above all those mistakes and flaws
I’ll learn from it, and then
I’ll climb every obstacle and every wall

Who do you believe in?
Believe in your self now
Who do you believe in?
Well I believe, I believe in me
Will you fight, or give in?
I’ll stop at nothing, to be something
Who do they believe in?
In themselves, the believe in me
How will you lead them?
By making something out of nothing
