akira the don - be humble lyrics

i’ve been free to do whatever i want
to make the shows i want anywhere i want with whom i want
in any style i want
so i, at first i don’t know any other way
and by now i won’t have it any other way
life is good
why settle for less?

be open to experience
be willing to try new things
don’t have a rigid plan except random acts of hospitality without judgment or fear
don’t be afraid to wander
don’t be afraid to eat a bad meal
you know, if you don’t risk the bad meal you’ll never get the magical one
but i think most important

[chorus]
be humble, bе grateful, be humble, bе grateful, be humble, be grateful
be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
be humble, be grateful

before i started traveling i thought that the human race as a whole will turn on itself at any moment, you know, venal, petty, cruel, arbitrarian
and it’s true that all of those things exist in this world, but
i meet mostly pretty nice people
doing the best they can, often under very, very difficult conditions
i met a lot of very nice people who’ve done very, very bad things that conflict with my deeply+held conceptions of justice and s+xual equality or acceptable practice or religious views
there are a lot of gray areas in travel
but i think that on balance the world is filled with people doing the best they can, you know?
the best they can, you know?
[chorus]
be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful
be humble, be grateful, be humble, be grateful

i’ve been fired many times during my cooking career
i was not a particularly good chef
i had a lot of problems at various parts of my career with narcotics
you know, i accepted failure as a chef because i was at various times a bad chef
and even a bad person
these days if i fail it’s because i try to do something and did not succeed
or i just was just was not able to do what i hoped to do or wanted to do
but i would much rather that
i would much rather fail gloriously than
not try
i’m not interested in telling stories with competence
i’m looking at telling ’em with some style and originality and some creativity
