The road to the peak, a tough climb;

Constant hunger until the top,

Ignoring those who say to stop,

Avoiding those who deal like slime.

Consistency, the test of time;

When the belt’s wrapped around your waist,

Keep the cherry, not just a taste.

Challengers won’t let you stay still;

They’re always coming for the kill,

To stay ahead, do not make haste.
