Akira The Don feat. Joe Rogan - Be the Hero Lyrics

Lyrics Be the Hero - Joe Rogan , Akira the Don



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 benefits, 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
