Текст песни Taking Souls - Akira The Don feat. David Goggins

What separates me from a lot of people is
They go into an a daunting task
And the task is overwhelming
Like when I heard the pull-up record was 4,020 pull-ups
I was talking about breaking this record
People are like 'oh my god!'
I went right to a pen and paper
'What are you doing?'
'I'm doing the math man!'
'I'm doing the math man!'
'What are you talking about?'
'I'm doing the math man!'
I'm open mind to the fact that okay
If I do 5 pull-ups in a minute for so many hours
I can get so many pull-ups in
How much time do I have to rest?
I was breaking the math down
You have to be open-minded to the possibilities
That I can do this
Once you shut your mind down to the possibility
That it can't achieved
There's no way it can happen
So that's why my eyes and my body light up about things
Because I know that if you're in a fight you have to attack
You have to keep attacking

The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
You must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is, whatever the fuck is
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
You must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you

That's what I realized
I was never breaking the soul of anything in front of me
So that's why I came with the thing called taking souls
I started to devise ways to break a soul
Of a human being, of an object
Of whatever's in front of me
If you keep on attacking something
Nothing wants to stand in front of anything
That is relentless, nothing
That's when a lot of stuff started clicking man
I start watching those instructors on the side
They've been there done that
Now they're instructing you
They have their parkas on it's usually cold
Coffee drinking their coffee
And they're beating the crap out of us
And when I start to realize I start playing mind games
Like you know what I bet these fuckers are looking at us
Judging themselves about when they were going
Through hell week
I'm looking at Goggins right now I was better than him
I was better than that that?
Better that fucker over there
I was like, okay, so what I started doing was I got my boat crew
It's Wednesday everyone is broken everyone is beat up man
Everybody's like just kinda trying
To get through hell week now
They tell you how you're supposed to feel
So you are feeling that way
I'm like all right don't let these fuckers tell you
How you supposed to feel
No it's day one mother fucker
This is hour one
So I was getting my boat crew all jacked up
I said we could take these motherfuckers souls
So when they had us doing a simple thing
That guys are struggling with
Boat crew 2 is just launching the fucking boat
And they're yelling
'Yeah you can't fucking hurt us, can't hurt boat crew 2'
And I looked on the instructors faces and it looked like
Someone had just fucked with their soul
And I looked at my guys in the boat crew and I said
'Hey guess what those motherfuckers aren't fucking tonight
We own space in their fucking head
We own space and they're gonna think about us tonight'

The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
You must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is, whatever the fuck is
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
You must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you

And we started fueling off of that
We started fueling off the fact that man
It takes one second of energy to steal everybody's
And then you have all the energy you need
It's all you need
You need to look at someone's eyes
You know how this when you fight somebody
You broke that motherfucker
He's like 'oh god man I don't want to go back
To the next round'
And you feel like my god I can fight all day
That's what taking souls is
But you have to have the will, the heart, the courage
To go that distance
When you're exactly jacked up
When you have nothing left to give and give more
You know how you get that fight-or-flight response
When you get to move real quick yeah
I started learning the mind a lot how to get myself jacked
Extremely fast
In a horrible environment when everybody's miserable
I've learned how to really find strength in the misery
This is where I shine
I start using all that misery for tons
And tons of tons of drive and motivation
To then lead people further
Because you can get a lot of power through misery
And once people see that my god goggins is fucking going
Then everybody says 'Roger that'
I started realizing that if you can just find strength
Just a little bit longer
You will have a crew of people following you along the way

The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
You must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
Whatever the fuck is, whatever the fuck is
Whatever the fuck is in front of you
The enemy has to know he is not going to give up
You must break the soul
Whatever the fuck is in front of you

You have to take great pleasure
In the fact that no one wants to be
Where the fuck you are at right now
Great pleasure man
They have to bring a passion out of you
It has to bring something very very rare out of you
Like, you know people don't really understand what that is
And you're in the worst environment possible
The worst situation possible
And everybody's looking like 'god I hope this ends'
And you see that, time slows down and you see that
You're you're feeling that
Everybody has that look on their face
Like god I don't want to be here anymore
This is where I sign
This is where I sign
