Let Yourself Go

September 27, 2022
By Anonymous

I’m sick and tired of seeing my people

Getting fat and lazy

Making bad decisions

It really is so crazy

Don’t you know how good you have it?

Let healthy become your habit

 

Let yourself go …

Outside or to the gym

Can’t you see this race we’re in?

You’ll never make it to the end

With the kind of shape that you’re in

 

I see that Big Mac in your mouth

Eat some broccoli how ‘bout

Put down the Snicker bar

Can you live with who you are?

They say you are what you eat

So maybe eat some real meat

 

Let yourself go …

Outside or to the gym

Can’t you see this race we’re in?

You’ll never make it to the end

With the kind of shape that you’re in

 

Stop sitting all day long

You have got it all wrong

Stop smoking every day

One day you’re gonna pay

Stop drinking alcohol

You’re making the wrong call

 

Let yourself go …

Outside or to the gym

Can’t you see this race we’re in?

You’ll never make it to the end

With the kind of shape that you’re in

 

Don’t just listen to this talk

Instead go take a walk

When you think that you are done

Go for another run

You should really adhere

‘Cause when the results start to appear

Just take a look in the mirror

And be happy with yourself there

 

Let yourself go …

Outside or to the gym

Can’t you see this race we’re in?

You’ll never make it to the end

With the kind of shape that you’re in

The end
