RZA - Bite Or Stop Barking lyrics

Episode 3: Bite, Or Stop Barking

Welcome our exploration is now in
Session before we take this journey together
We first need to prepare our bodies and
Minds for what's to come
Seek out an environment that's free of
Distraction and then
Find in a comfortable position
To sit place your hands together
Or rest them gently on
Your knees close your eyes take a deep breath
In through your nose and out
Through your mouth place all
Your attention on your breathing
Feel your lungs fill
With the oxygen and then release
That air back into the world again focus on
The flow inhale exhale

What lies at the end of every
Journey? The goal the desire the
Cheese but there are many things
That stand in our way
Before we reach that goal a
Shrouded valley of doubt, procrastination
Excuses what do you need to build
A bridge, cross the valley
And attain what you seek? But
Everything you need already exists
In your own universe you just
Have to activate it
Before you take a step, you need a
Plan of what needs to be built
And envision that plan my plan
Was to bring the
Wu Tang Clan to the top i told my
Brothers, "get on the bus i'm taking us to
Be the number one hip hop group in
The world" I gave them my word and they
Took that leap of faith with me
Because I had their trust
They understood I had
A vision and look where it lead us

So now I ask you
What do you seek? What does
Your success look like? Give
Your mind a clear set
Destination visualize it then
Say it aloud your verbal commitment is
Your plan your planning and
Your preparation are the groundwork, but
To push across the bridge
You need support a wise man
Surrounds himself with other
Wise men and this is where you'll call upon
Those people i know who mine are even you
Know who some of mines are but who
Are your people? Who do you
Rely on? Who keeps
You in check? Who sees your total strength
And challenge you to grow?
Who demands that you
Fulfill your potential? Identify
Those individuals three
People see their faces say their names
Out loud again each one
Is now your ally on this
Journey when this exploration ends, i
Want you to tell those people your
Plan what do you want
To accomplish? Tell them in person
Or by e mail, or even with a text but don't
Be flimsy about it do it
Give them your word and stand by it those
People are your accountability
They're your outside
Pressure they will produce that
Diamond in your
Life they are the momentum to
Help you set your foot on the other
Side of the valley now say your
Goal to yourself one more time and
Then, just after you say it
Open your eyes spread that goal to your
Sidekicks and set forth on your path
