Lyrics
See, you gotta realize a lot of us 30 and 40 years old haven't been willing to get our feet wet yet
Haven't been willing to step out of the boat
And just see if we keep our eyes on our prize, will we be able to stay afloat
We have not even stepped out of the boat to get our feet wet yet
Somebody turn to your neighbor and say, this nigga don't know me
How the fuck he know what's going on in my house
Making every reason and excuse why not to leap
Oh, but there's so many things down there that I could fall on
What if I don't even land on my feet
What if I fall on my face
What if I can't get back up
All valid facts
But what if you can
What if your genius has been sending you the friends that you've been asking for
but you've been pushing them away because they not like the type of people that you used to
Or they don't make you feel the way you used to
Or they just different, they weird
But that's the friend that you might need
How many times do you need to be reminded of something that you love before you go get it
Well, let me guess, the kids, the house, the bills, the job, the family members
all while you refuse to chase your dream
While you refuse to be who you are
I don't know how they're going to look at me
They're not going to accept me
They're going to turn their nose up at me
They're not going to make me feel good
Fear, it'll get you every time
It will get you every time
Fear will get you every time
There was a dude in the Bible, when he stepped out on the boat, he was good
All the way until he took his eyes off the prize
I can't jump right now
There's so many things down there
I could fall on my face
What's your prize
Go get your feet wet
Go make mistakes
Go fall
I want you to know that it's not too late
And it never will be too late
I believe what you do most is what you do best
And if I wanted to go into the NBA right now
if that was something I wanted to do, I could do it
Because I believe that
And I think if I work hard, if I dribble every day
if I play ball every day, I can go into the NBA
So can you
That's very difficult, the chances are slim
Will it happen
Probably not
But can it
Of course it can
Of course it can
And that's the powerful part about it
That it can
Steven Pressfield
resistance is coming to kill you
Peace
