HYPE UP THE GEARS<\/p>\n

I don’t know how long I’ve got,
\nI’m clueless to how many years,
\nSo I’ll do the very best I can,
\nI’m gonna hype up all the gears.<\/p>\n

One thing I can say for certain,
\nBy God’s Grace this is one fact,
\nI’m shooting to reach the world,
\nNothing less than total impact.<\/p>\n

My words will remain years later,
\nAlthough I’m gone from the Earth,
\nPeople will see what I’ve written,
\nAnd hopefully give them some worth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
