mr. master - funny thing lyrics
[prod. by mr. master]
[intro:]
it’s funny
[verse 1:]
funny thing about motivation
it’s not a week+long seminar
at some beachside resort and spa
ice breakers with nice strangers
distrustful trust falls
seven easy, twelve easy
twenty+five easy steps and that’s all
some people need that
a format, a road map
they’re so lost about where they wanna go
they don’t even know where they’re at
and it works
but once you dig yourself out of that hole
it’s not like the film ends and the crеdits roll, it’s…
the funny thing about motivation is it’s not a party
it’s not a drumbeat in your chest
echoing through your body
each day isn’t a dragon to slay
a battlе for your army
temporary life mottos
scribbled in permanent sharpie
some people need those
credos; words to live by
metaphors and allegories to fit yourself inside
and it works
but take away the glitz and the guts
and let that l+ster get a little rust
the funny thing about motivation is…
is that it’s disappointing
all it really boils down to
is strengthening your inner voice
and that’s not loud, that’s not bright
that’s not an interesting story
books don’t get written about
small personal victories
because that would be boring
but small personal victories
are what’s truly human
funny thing about motivation is that
it’s not a crowd chanting over moving music
it’s a single pat on your back saying
“you can do this.”
it’s muted
it’s quiet
sometimes it’s silent
[verse 2:]
funny thing about procrastination
sometimes it’s not ’cause you’re lazy
snoozin’ your alarm so you can stay asleep
every day of the week until the due date’s reached
stayed up all night to turn it in late, incomplete
some people do that
who can’t?
chapter 2 math
sounds so much sadder than
afternoon nap
so you don’t work
but it’s not just putting off for later
so you can watch some vlogger’s day first
i heard somebody
who studied decision making
for years get asked
“have you gotten better at
making decisions in your own life?”
he said no
right?
like if he was researching this whole time
how does he not know by now?
but the funny thing is
being smarter doesn’t make you more productive
you just get better at justifying your poor judgment
more convincing excuses
more lenient sentences
better intentions to pave the road to h+ll with
all this to say that i’m not lazy
i just trust that tomorrow me
will be wiser than today me
blindly, faithfully
trusting the process
…but if i give it all to god, so to speak
what have i got left?
if i keep pushing the deadlines back
i’ll be dead by the time i react
and that’s not laziness
…or maybe it is that
funny thing about procrastination:
it hits back
[outro:]
it’s a tough fight
and i’ve lost sight
but i’m still tryin’
i’ll be alright
