Akira The Don, Joe Rogan - Be The Hero (EXPERIENCE) lyrics

You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that

90% of it is just showing up
Get there and start working
Like you're not gonna feel perfect every day
Gotta be those days you push through
This is what I want you to do
Write down what you would like
To fix about your life
If you're 30 pounds overweight, you
Wanna lose 30 pounds, do it the right way
Write down what you eat exercise every day
Force yourself to do it
The brain is the general, the troops are
The body, and you get up, and you do it
And then you get to write it down
You know you're doing what you
Gotta do to get by
But ultimately you're not respecting yourself
I think we all have a certain amount
Of appreciation and respect for hero figures
We all look at the guy who never lies
Always does the right
Thing, and fucking helps everybody out and
That's the John Wayne character
That's the ultimate hero the ultimate hero

You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
And when you look at your own life and
You don't stack up, you're a thief
You stole money from your
Wife's purse, and you don't
Wanna smoke cigarettes, but you
Fucking have to, you can't
Deal with the stress, so you smoke
You devalue yourself
You slowly start devaluing yourself
You look at yourself and you realize
That if you were judging yourself
You would judge yourself on faith
You can't pretend you're the
Hero of your story hero of your story
Most people get stuck in these patterns
Find themselves in the person who doesn't
Follow through on their ideas
Well, I start things and I quit
No, you don't
No, you have started things and you quit and
It gives you a horrible sense of regret
It's made you define yourself by that
You're not who you were a year ago
You're not who you were five minutes ago
You're not who you were last week
So you gotta regulate how much
You dwell on regrets
Of the past you really gotta be careful

You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
You have to be the hero of your own story
You can be the hero of your
Own story that woke up today
You can be the hero of your
Own story that at 40
Years of age stopped, got out
Of bed and said, "I'm not doing this anymore
I'm not doing this anymore
And I'm gonna get myself in shape
And I'm gonna eat healthy
And I'm gonna do this, 'cause this is me now
This is me now i decided this is me
And people have to realize that
You are not your past
You are not all the times you fucked up
You're not all the times you were drunk
That's not you that's not you
You are the person who's learned from
A great deal of experience
This is a battle that you
Will fight for the rest
Of your life, but the key is to fight it
Not to give in
Don't give in to that resistance
Fight that resistance and
In doing so, every day you do so
You have won the battle for that day
And you will continue to fight that battle

You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that

You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that
You have to be the hero of your own story
And you can do that

A system will set out the honeypots
For people to get trapped in
The ideas of retirement, the ideas of
The golden years, providing you benefit's
Providing you a healthy work environment
Why? Well
Because they want people to work for them
They don't want people to realize
Their own dreams and escape
They want to set it up
So that you stick around
Stick around some sort of
An unsatisfying world it's up to you to see
That video game problem
To see that issue as it comes up
On the map and calculate your future
