Akira The Don, Jocko Willink - What Are You Going To Do? lyrics

Sometimes bad things, horrible things
Happen to good people i don't know why
But life isn't fair that's the reality and
Diseases, cancer, MS, horrible
Diseases and accidents, these things
A good person in the wrong place
In the wrong time can end up just a victim
Of fate and of reality
And it can be horrible and heart-wrenching
But when those bad things happen
To people around you

What are you going to do?
What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do?

How are you going to lead?
Are you gonna get angry?
Are you gonna get frustrated?
Are you gonna lash out at people? Who
Are you gonna lash out at anyways?
Are you gonna start going down
The spiral of negativity?
Are you gonna let this
Horrible situation dictate
The way you feel and the way you handle it?
Are you gonna fall over, fall down
Fall apart? Or are you going to lead?
Are you going face this issue
With courage and with resolution?

What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do?

I say lead lead, step up to the challenge
Be the one that other people look to
Absorb that impact absorb that negativity
Draw fire that's what a member of a platoon
For tactical reasons
Steps into the open to draw enemy fire
Maybe to give another part of his team the
Chance to move or distract the enemy
That's what I say, draw fire
Bring that pain to me I can handle it
When maybe others cannot

What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do?
When bad things are happening
I am going to try and be the one good thing
The thing standing tall that
Can be relied upon, because
I know that that attitude will spread
It will bolster those around me
And we will fight
And in fighting, we will win
And if not the battle, and if not the war
We will win because our spirit
It will never surrender

What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do? Going to do
When bad things happen
What are you going to do?

And that, that is the ultimate victory
To hold your head high and even
Even in the face of inescapable defeat
To stand and to fight that is to win
