Akira The Don, Joe Rogan - Take A Path That's Dangerous lyrics

The opportunity takes place usually
When you're young
And you don't have any responsibility
That's when you have your options
Well, your options are severely limited
The more you gather responsibilities
Like, if I had as a 51-year-old
Father of three, a married man
He pays taxes and has a house and a
Mortgage and a business and all that jazz
If I had to quit everything now and struggle
The way I struggled as a standup comedian
It would never work
The only way I could be this person now is
If I took that chance when I was 21
When I was dead broke and had my
Cars repossessed and all that stuff

That's the only way you ever
Get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous

And most people wanna take the safe path
The safe path leaves you stuck in
Quiet desperation almost every time
It's hell, it's hell
You're selling insurance or some other shit
That you care zero about
It's hell, it's hell, it's hell

The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous

The way you can change is you have to put
Aside enough money to give yourself a window
And then you have to have a plan
And you have to spend all your waking hours
Outside of whatever shit job you do
Planning your escape
And you have to come to the realization
Very clearly that you fucked up

Bucko you got yourself stuck
So whatever you're doing
You have to do it like
Your life depends on it
And whether it is you're trying to
Be an author and you're
Working eight hours a day, plus
Commuting, plus family responsibilities
Or whatever time that you have
You have to attack like you're
Trying to save the world
You're trying to save your life
You don't wanna drown that 1 1
2 hours a day that you have to write
Goddamn, you better be
Caffeinated and motivated
You gotta go, you gotta get after it
You gotta go, you gotta get after it

Get after it

The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous

The only way you ever get where you wanna go
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous
The only way you ever get where you wanna go
You have to take a path that's dangerous
Take a path that's dangerous

You gotta have discipline
Most people don't have those things
Most people don't understand what it's like
To really go for something
And then know that the consequences of
Not doing that are horrific
You gotta get after it
