Something To That

People think it should look like a flower garden
It should be easy
They should always feel motivated
Whereas you saw it as
I should fail
I should get knocked down
It should be messy
Do you think there's something to that?

Oh yeah, there's definitely something [?]
I know for a fact there's something to that
And that's where
I disconnect with a lot of people
They don't know my story
And
They think I was born this man

They see
What was created
They see the end of the job
They didn’t see
What it took to get there
And to develop a man like this
I realized that
You know like to sharpen a sword
To make a sword
You have to put it through fire
And you have to beat the fucking shit out of it, repeatedly
You have to beat the living shit out of it
And so, my mindset started to become that
And I realized that nothing hard comes from soft

When people have that mindset of “I failed”
It determents how you look at that
I started looking at that as a whole different
Way of living, like how many people could do what you do David?
It's that internal conversation I started having that was motivating me like
I knew where I came from
But I knew where I was going
Like how many people can come from your fucked-up background?
You couldn’t even read
And then I put myself in a deeper hole
So all this was inspiring me
All this fucked up shit was inspiring me, like
I went from a guy who couldn’t read or got beat, got called nigga, got called all these things growing up
His dad beat the soul out of him

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, there is definitely something [?]
I know for a fact there is something to that
And that's where
I disconnect with a lot of people
They don't know my story
And
They think I was born this man
Oh yeah, there is definitely something [?]
I know for a fact there is something to that
And that's where
I disconnect with a lot of people
They don't know my story
And
They think I was born this man

I was 175 pounds
Now, I’m almost 300 pounds
I'm in a worse hole
But it's gonna make for an even better story at the end of all this shit
So, I started turning all these conversations into power
All the failure
All the Rocky moments that we have in life
They're so powerful to say what if I can get up
And make this turn out to be what I want it to be

I have a way with visualizing
I have a way of visualizing
And talking to myself and finding great strength in great misery
And it's those people, who are able to be in the fucking sewer
It is very easy to be motivated on those good days of life
It's that cat
Who can be at the bottom of the sewer
Who can find great motivation alone
There's no coach
There's no trainer
There's no nothing
No mom, dad, sister, cousin, brothers, wife, husband, it is you
And you alone
In the worst possible spot of your life
If you can find
Drive, determination, motivation in those times alone
You’ve figured it out

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, there is definitely something [?]
I know for a fact there is something to that
And that's where
I disconnect with a lot of people
They don't know my story
And
They think I was born this man
Oh yeah, there is definitely something [?]
I know for a fact there is something to that
And that's where
I disconnect with a lot of people
They don't know my story
And
They think I was born this man

We have it all in our minds
It's how you talk to yourself and how you visualize coming out of this
How you see yourself in the ‘dungeon of life’
Many of us can't
Can't find strength there
But there is so much strength
In the dungeon
Cause so many people just stay there
It is that motherfucker who is willing to come out of it
That becomes glorious
At the end of it all
Glorious
At the end of it all

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, there is definitely something [?]
I know for a fact there is something to that
And that's where
I disconnect with a lot of people
They don't know my story
And
They think I was born this man
