akira the don - don't lie to yourself lyrics

“i’m pretty happy
i got a good job
i got a good family
i got a nice house
i’m in pretty good shape
sometimes i skip workouts
sometimes i sleep in
and sometimes i eat bad and
how can i find more discipline?”
you could be lying to yourself
that could be the problem
how is that?
you can be lying to yourself
by saying
“i’m really happy”
that can be a lie
and there’s a chance
you are
right?
there’s a chance
“i got a good job
i got a good family
i got a house
i’m in pretty good shape”
there’s a chance
and if that’s the scenario
good
you know what?
don’t worry
about getting more disciplined
you’re happy
you got a good job
you got a good family
you got a house
you got a car
everything’s good
that’s fine
but there’s a chance
that that’s not fine
there’s a chance that you’re lying
to yourself
because, you know
you could be better
and there’s something in your mind
that’s saying you could be better
and you know it
and you know that
the way you could get better
and the way you could do better
and the way you could be more
is by having more discipline
so
discipline
is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself

because if you tell yourself
the truth
if you tell yourself the truth
and the truth is
i’m not happy
with where i’m at
that’s the truth
the truth is i can do more
the truth is
i can be in better shape
the truth is
i can work harder
than i’m working right now
the truth is
i can do more for my family
the truth is
i can do much
better than i’m doing right now
if that’s what you believe
if you believe that
to be the truth
you won’t have to
find more discipline
discipline will find you
it will wake you up
in the morning
have you ever been
preparing for something
you didn’t think you are ready
and you couldn’t sleep?
and you wake up in the morning
‘cause it’s happening
isn’t that interesting?
so when your going through life
and you truly feel like
you could do better
that you could do more
and you truly feel that way
you think about that
you’re going to have a hard time sleeping
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself

if you lie to yourself and say
you know what?
i’m good to go
like i’m not worried about
this operation
we’re good to go
and everything will probably go fine
sleep all night
like a little baby
if you lie to yourself
and you’re like
i’m in pretty good shape
my family’s doing fine
i like this house that i’m in
if that’s the lie
that you’re telling yourself
maybe you can sleep just fine
and maybe it’s
hard to be disciplined
so what you need to do
is you need to tell yourself
the truth about
what the h+ll is going on
in your life
do an assessment
break out a piece of paper
and start to write down
these things that you
claim to be happy about
pull the stops off
like, “okay
if i could have any house
i want wanted
is this house
the house i wanted”
is it?
is it really?
you sure about that?
“hey, i’m in pretty good shape right now”
are you sure about that?
if i could snap my fingers
be in a different physical shape
is this what i would choose?
would i want to be a little bit better?
would i want to be stronger?
faster?
then you got to ask yourself
are you sure about that?
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself
discipline is rooted
in the truth we tell ourselves
don’t lie to yourself
don’t lie to yourself

so tell yourself
the truth about the situation
that you’re in
that’s what we need to do
that’s what we need to do
and it should hurt a little bit
it should hurt a little bit
there should be aspects
of your life that you know
you can improve upon
that should hurt a little bit
here’s the cool thing
take ownership of those things
and guess what?
doesn’t hurt at all
now guess who is in control?
you are
guess who is in control?
you are
