Akira The Don, Joe Rogan - Do Shit That's Difficult lyrics

Everybody got these stupid barriers they
Put in their own head
You gotta resist those goddamn things 'cause
They don't do you any good
And they certainly define the potential for
Your future in a negative way
It's not self-serving and it's not even real
But this idea that there's no way to get past
The starting block today is
Just ludicrous, it's crazy
And it's just this poor thinking
And people that are trapped in bad situations
One of the problems is you feel
Like this is your future
You feel like you're fucked you
Can't get out of it, there's
No hope, there's no light at
The end of the tunnel, there's no rainbow
And if you feel like that
That alone can be incredibly
Defining and limiting


But if you look at yourself
Objectively and say, "Ok
I am kinda fucked here i'm in
Credit card debt, I'm working in a shitty
Job, I don't like what I'm doing
But I have some ideas i need
To feed those fucking ideas
I need to feed them and water them
I need to set aside a certain
Amount of time every day to just
Try to make those things happen"
Every day to just try to
Make those things happen
Every day to just try to
Make those things happen
Every day, you can do that

Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

You look at someone who's doing really
Well or very famous and successful
All you see is him now
Flying around in private jets, wearing
A new pair of sneakers every
Day, driving around in Bentley's
You just see that you don't see him being a
Young kid in Philadelphia
Going to open mic nights
There's a progression that you
Are not witness to
You don't see it and that takes place in
Everything it takes place in the office
It takes place in comedians and musicians
There is a starting point and
Then with time and focus, as long as you
Reevaluate, you reassess
And consequently, objectively
Look at what you're doing and
Then pursue it with passion and focus
You get better at things
There's always going to be people
That are luckier than you
Some of it is luck and some of it is courage
Some of it is putting your ass out there
Some of it is trying things
One of the things that I always like to
Tell people that I think you should do
Is do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

Failure teaches you things that you
Don't learn from success
I think failure gives you an
Opportunity for self-examination and
Also gives you a feeling
That is very uncomfortable
And that very uncomfortable feeling
Helps you grow
And don't look at these failures
As proof that you suck
Look at them as opportunities for growth
And don't look at these failures
As proof that you suck
Look at them as opportunities
To be motivated, to be better

Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

This life doesn’t have enough of that
There's not enough struggle
You don't get to know
Yourself without struggle
You don't get to know your
Boundaries unless you push them
You don't get to know who you
Are really unless you're tested
