[Akira The Don, Jocko Willink - Good lyrics]
Akira the Don
He's got clout
How do I deal with
Setbacks, failures, delays, defeat
Or other disasters?
I actually have a fairly simple way of
Dealing with these situations
And it is actually one word
To deal with all those situations
And that is Good
This is actually something that
One of my guys
That worked for me pointed out to me
He would call me up or pull
Me aside with some major problem
Some issue that was going on
And he would say "Boss we got this
And that and the other thing"
And I'd look at him and I'd say Good
One day he was telling me about
Some issue that he was having
And he said "I already know
What you're going to say"
And I said what am I going to say?
He said "You're gonna say Good"
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good Good
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good
He said, "That's what you always say
When something is wrong and going bad
You always just look at me and say Good Good"
And I said, "Well yeah, and I mean it"
And that is how I feel
When things are going bad
There is going to be some good
That's gonna to come from it
Oh, mission got cancelled? Good
We can focus on another one
Didn't get the new high speed
Gear we wanted? Good we can keep it simple
Didn't get promoted? Good
More time to get better
Didn't get funded? Good
We own more of the company
Didn't get the job you wanted? Good
You can get more experience and
Build a better resume
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good Good
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good
Got injured? Got injured? Sprained
My ankle? Good needed a break from training
Got tapped out? Good
It's better to tap in training than
To tap out on the street got beat? Good
You learned unexpected problems? Good
We have the opportunity to
Figure out a solution
And that's it, that's it
When things are going bad
Don't get all bummed out, don't get startled
Don't get frustrated, no
You just look at the issue and you say Good
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good Good
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good
And I don't mean to say
Something that's all cliché
And I don't mean to sound like a Mr positive
(Find the positive in all things)
But do that, do that, focus on the good
Focus-focus on the good
Take that issue, take that problem
Take that issue, take that problem
And make it something good
Make it, make it something good (Bucko)
Bring that attitude to your team, too
You go forward
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good Good
You're gonna say Good you're gonna say Good
You're gonna say Good Good
And lastly, like to close this out
If you can say the word "Good", guess what?
It means you're still alive
It means you're still breathing
And if you're still breathing, well then
Hell you still got some fight left in you
So get up, dust off, reload, recalibrate
Re-engage and go out on the attack
And that right there is about
As good as it gets
He's got clout
How do I deal with
Setbacks, failures, delays, defeat
Or other disasters?
I actually have a fairly simple way of
Dealing with these situations
And it is actually one word
