Akira The Don, Joe Rogan - Fear Factor lyrics

I didn't wanna work with actors anymore
So I was happy that "Fear
Factor" was no actors
Since I had a background in coaching
I was used to teaching people and I was
Used to encouraging people and
Getting people motivated
When someone was nervous and they
Were about to do something
I could grab them and go
"Look at me you can do this"

Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you if you back off
Get scared and give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize
You can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positivе way
You can do this

It was completely unexpеcted because I
Thought the gig was
Just gonna be these people
Do these crazy things
I make fun of it, and we all cheer
And it would all play it'self out
Because it was a reality show
But somewhere along the line, especially
When they became really nervous
It was very intense
It was moments where I really
I wanted these people to win and I
Wanted these people to do their best
I wanted these people to succeed
There was one time
There was this father and a son competing
Against a mother and the daughter
And the father and the son were kinda jerks
And they thought that they were gonna win
The parent and child teams had gotten
Down to two and it was
The man and his son vs
The woman and her daughter
And everybody thought these jerks
Were gonna win
And were kinda bummed out about it
But the woman and her child
They just rose to the occasion i mean
I remember talking to them and firing them up
I didn't know if they could do it
I didn't know if they could do it

Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off, get scared
And give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize
You can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this

It was some crazy thing that
They had to climb
And do this thing, had to gather flags
And it was all for time
The kinda jerky son, the jerky dad
They kept screwing up
They fucked up because they'd kinda taken it
For granted that they were gonna win
A lotta times, jerks are just insecure
And when they're
Under pressure, when they're really
Faced with real pressure
Like this is the real moment
Who are you really? Who are you really?
Fuck all that talk, who are you really?
They fall apart
The mother and the daughter won
You're talking about a hardened crew of
People that have watched people
Eat animal dicks, jump, jump outta
Helicopters, season after season
Episode after episode everybody cried
The camera people, like I'll cry now
If I'm thinking about it
Just seeing their spirit
When they were figuring out a way
To win, watching them win, like to this day

Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off and get scared
And give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize
You can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this

I never tear up for sad things
I tear up for happy things
It's never been sad things
It's very hard to get me
To cry with sad things
But trying, success, people pulling through
When someone has a particularly
Incredible performance
I have to fight off tearing up
I feel so happy for them
With sad things, I can
Objectively analyze them
And I cannot get sad
I can understand that this is just life
And it is what it is
I mean, I won't feel good
But I won't start weeping
I don't weep for sad things
The way I weep for happy things
I can rationalize and understand sorrow
I can internalize it, I get it
I just get so happy for people
Sometimes when things go well
As a human being, you realize how hard it
Is to overcome competition or
These difficult moments
So these moments when you're tested
And you know that there's fears and
Insecurities that these people have to
Battle, as well as the actual physical
Task in front of them
There's so much going on

Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
This is gonna define you
If you back off and get scared
And give in to your fear
This is gonna define you
Look at me, you can do this
Look at me, you can do this
If you just press forward and realize
You can do this and succeed
It will define you in a positive way
You can do this

You can do this you can do this
You can do this you can do this
You can do this you can do this
You can do this

I am a student of human will
I love stories of discipline and success
I don't even like going to
Movies where they're sad
I'm not interested, I know it's
Sadness i've been sad, i get it
I'm not interested in getting that
In a form of entertainment i like success
I like seeing people triumph
I like seeing the human spirit
Manifest it'self in spectacular ways
