Akira The Don, Jocko Willink - One Shot lyrics

There's so much knowledge out there
There's so much information
So many ways to get better
And we make, we make so many mistakes
We're the product of our mistakes
And oftentimes the lesson is sitting there
Right in front of our face
It's there to be learned
But we miss it or we
Don't pay attention to it
Or we think we know better
Until it punches us in the face
And the most important thing to learn is
That we have so much to learn we all do
And we can learn from school
And people and from experience
And we learn from life

You get one shot
One shot at this gig right here life
One life, that's all you got one life
One shot

But you have to process the information
And you have to absorb it
You have to accept it
You have to open your mind
You gotta free your mind so
That you can learn and make real progress
And as far as regrets and things
I wish I would've done differently
Of course hindsight, hindsight is 20
20 and looking back, of course
Who wouldn't wanna take another
Go at something and improve on the first try
By doing it again? And then why not do it
Again and again and again?
Why not do it over and over
Again until you have it perfect?
But the fact is, you don't get that chance

You get one shot
One shot at this gig right here life
One life, that's all you got one life
One shot

And regret, in and of it'self, it's worthless
It does nothing for you in fact
The only valuable thing in regret
Is the lesson you learned
The knowledge that you gain
But walking around filled with regret
Gets you nothing so, learn and move on
Don't let regret beat you down
Don't be a slave to regret, no
Let it teach you let it make you better
Let the fear of regret fuel you
To take action today now
Now

You get one shot
One shot at this gig right here life
One life, that's all you got one life
One shot

You get one shot
One shot at this gig right here life
One life, that's all you got one life
One shot

Take action now to become a better person
Not filled with regret
But filled with knowledge
Filled with knowledge and strength and power
And filled with life
