paroles de chanson The Governor - Akira The Don feat. David Goggins

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
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"

It starts telling you all these things
That's all bullshit
