Akira The Don, David Goggins - Taking Souls lyrics

What separates me from a lot of people
Is they go into an a daunting
Task and the task is overwhelming
Like when I heard the pull-up record was 4
020 pull-ups
I was talking about breaking this record
People are like ‘oh my god!’
I went right to a pen and paper
‘What are you doing?’
‘I'm doing the math man!’
‘I'm doing the math man!’
‘What are you talking about?’
‘I'm doing the math man!’
I'm open mind to the fact that okay
If I do 5 pull-ups in a
Minute for so many hours
I can get so many pull-ups in
How much time do I have to rest?
I was breaking the math down
You have to be open-minded to the
Possibilities that I can do this
Once you shut your mind down to
The possibility that it can’t achieved
There’s no way it can happen
So that's why my eyes and my
Body light up about things
Because I know that if you’re in
A fight you have to attack
You have to keep attacking

The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up
The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up you must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is, whatever the fuck is
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up you must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you

That's what I realized
I was never breaking the soul of
Anything in front of me
So that's why I came with
The thing called taking souls
I started to devise ways to break a soul
Of a human being, of an object
Of whatever's in front of me
If you keep on attacking something
Nothing wants to stand in front
Of anything, that is relentless, nothing
That's when a lot of
Stuff started clicking man
I start watching those instructors
On the side they've been there done that
Now they're instructing you
They have their parkas on it's usually cold
Coffee drinking their coffee
And they're beating the crap out of us
And when I start to realize
I start playing mind games
Like you know what I bet these
Fuckers are looking at us
Judging themselves about when they were
Going through hell week
I'm looking at Goggins right now
I was better than him
I was better than that that
Better that fucker over there
I was like okay so what I started
Doing was I got my boat crew
It’s Wednesday everyone is broken everyone
Is beat up man
Everybody’s like just kinda trying to
Get through hell week now
They tell you how you're supposed to feel
So you are feeling that way
I’m like all right don't let these fuckers
Tell you how you supposed to feel
No it's day one mother fucker
This is hour one
So I was getting my boat crew all jacked up
I said we could take
These motherfuckers souls
So when they had us doing a simple
Thing that guys are struggling with
Boat crew 2 is just launching the
Fucking boat and they’re yelling
‘yeah you can't fucking hurt us
Can't hurt boat crew 2’
And I looked on the instructors
Faces and it looked like
Someone had just fucked with their soul
And I looked at my guys in
The boat crew and I said
‘Hey guess what those motherfuckers
Aren't fucking tonight
We own space in their fucking head
We own space and they're gonna
Think about us tonight’

The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up
The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up you must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is, whatever the fuck is
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up you must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you

And we started fueling off of that
We started fueling off the fact that man
It takes one second of
Energy to steal everybody's
And then you have all the energy you need
It's all you need
You need to look at someone's eyes
You know how this when you fight
Somebody you broke that motherfucker
He's like ‘oh god man I don't want
To go back to the next round’
And you feel like my god I can fight all day
That's what taking souls is
But you have to have the will to
Heart the courage to go that distance
When you're exactly jacked up when you have
Nothing left to give and give more
You know how you get
That fight-or-flight response
When you get to move real quick yeah
I started learning the mind a lot
How to get myself jacked, extremely fast
In a horrible environment
When everybody's miserable
I've learned how to really find
Strength in the misery this is where I shine
I start using all that misery for tons and
Tons of tons of drive and motivation
To then lead people further because you can
Get a lot of power through misery
And once people see that my
God goggins is fucking going
Then everybody says ‘Roger that’
I started realizing that if you can just
Find strength just a little bit longer
You will have a crew of people
Following you along the way

The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up
The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up you must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is, whatever the fuck is
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
The enemy has to know he is
Not going to give up you must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you

You have to take great pleasure
In the fact that no one wants to be
Where the fuck you are at right now
Great pleasure man
They have to bring a passion out of you
It has to bring something very
Very rare out of you
Like you know people don’t really
Understand what that is
And you’re in the worst environment
Possible the worst situation possible
And everybody’s looking like ‘god
I hope this ends’ and you see that
Time slows down and you see that
You’re you’re feeling that
Everybody has that look on their face
Like god I don’t want to be here anymore
This is where I sign this is where I sign
