“Do not try to spin me a story. I know you too well.”

An expression telling someone to give absolutely everything they have to get what they want, no excuses and no holding back. Literally means "drag yourself" which captures the idea: push yourself to the limit, crawl if you have to, but get it done. Used in Mexico and Colombia to motivate someone to go all in.
