Akira The Don, David Goggins - The Governor lyrics

I believe that most human beings are only
Living at about 40% of their capability
The mind has a governor like a car
If you're driving a car and the car
Has a governor on it
The car may say 130 miles an hour
But the governor set at 91
Once that governor sets in and you get to 91
The car starts doing this
The car wants to go
The car wants to go but that
Fucking factory said "uh huh"
We’re not going past 91
We have a factory- a nice
Governor in our brain
And it's a survival mechanism it protects
Us from pain and suffering

The second we feel that shit our mind says
Oh no this isn't fun we should back off
We should sit down


Find something more comfortable
There’s something about the mind
The mind has the tactical advantage over you
At all times at all times of your life
The mind has a tactical advantage over you
Why is that? It knows what you're afraid of
It knows your insecurities
It knows your deep dark lies
And it starts to push you away from that shit
It pushes you in a
Direction that is comfortable

The mind controls everything
The mind controls everything
The mind controls everything

So what I realized was that when I was
Growing up and I was 300 pounds
I got all fat and I got all insecure
I realized that my mind kept
Taking me in this direction
When things got uncomfortable for me
When I was facing my insecurities
I was facing my fears my mind said
"oh no we got the tactical advantage"
We just get you
Separate you from this feeling
Your lives all about feelings
We want that happy feeling
We don't want that feeling of, this sucks
Why am I here? So you can't answer those
Questions so you leave
I started realizing that
If in that moment you can
Answer those fucked up questions
And you are now in charge of your brain
Versus your brain ruling you
That's what all that stuff comes from
So the 40% rule is all of that
You get the 40% your brain says
"We're done"

The mind controls everything "We're done"
The mind controls everything
"Let's roll man this is
Starting to get painful
This is uncomfortable"
The mind controls everything "We’re done"
The mind controls everything
"Let’s roll man this is
Starting to get painful
This is uncomfortable"

So you sit down you have to figure out ways
And everybody's different
We all have these things about
Five steps to this and four steps to this
It’s a lot more than that that's all bullshit
It's a practice that you have it's a habit
So, if you know that at 40% I’m feeling pain
At 40% I'm feeling pain
That's where the 40% rule kicks in
Now it starts okay, I'm feeling pain
My mind is saying all this shit to me
It's saying get out of here
Run - flee - the fight-or-flight kicks in
Okay, we're done, we're not good enough
It starts telling you all these things
You start to believe it
Because the mind controls all
This is the time where you have to
Gain control back of your mind it's okay
Let me see if I can go 45%
And once you start giving yourself
More and more hope
And start realizing "Okay"
The mind starts to be "Okay
What are you doing?"
"We're supposed to be going right"
"And you're going left"
You start then controlling your mind
Start finding more
In yourself and it goes 40% to
A lot further than that
But that's the start of it all
Get to the spot where you mind is saying stop
Wherever that is
You got to get there first and then that's
Where that shit start to work for you
You got to control yourself in that moment

The mind controls everything "We're done"
The mind controls everything
"Let's roll man this is
Starting to get painful
This is uncomfortable"
The mind controls everything
"It is saying get out of here run"
The mind controls everything
"Okay, we're done we're not good enough"

That's all bullshit
