Akira The Don, Jocko Willink - IF lyrics

[Akira The Don, Jocko Willink - IF lyrics]

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when
All men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies
Or being hated, don't give way to hating
And yet don't look too good
Nor talk too wise if you can dream and not
Make dreams your master
If you can think and not
Make thoughts your aim
If you can meet triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same
If you can bear to hear
The truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools
Or watch the things you gave your life to
Broken and stoop and build 'em
Up with worn-out tools

If if
If if
If if

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss
If you can force your heart
And nerve and sinew
To serve your turn Long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them, "Hold on"
Hold on hold on

If if
If if
If if

If you can talk with crowds
And keep your virtue
Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch
If neither foes nor loving
Friends can hurt you
If all men count with you, but none too much
(None too much)
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With 60 seconds worth of distance run
Yours is the earth and
Everything that's in it
And which is more – you'll be a man, my son

If if
If if
If if

If if
If if
If if
