Lyrics Do Something! - Akira the Don, Joe Rogan

Do Something!

I don’t know about that
Some of ‘em maybe
But I think some of ‘em just don’t have discipline
There’s also an issue of momentum
You’re not used to doing it, it’s not a part of your life
It’s not something that you’re accustomed to pushing yourself
There’s been many, many, many, many, many, many, many days where I didn’t wanna
work out
I just didn’t feel like I had the energy and I just forced myself
And I think there’s very few people out there that know how to force themselves
That’s a learned skill
You hav to have real rigid requirments of yourself
Where you don’t allow yourself to back out of things
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Excuses are a giant part of the problem
It’s not simply a physical health issue
There’s also mental aspects of it and discipline’s a big one
I just know way too many people who are weak mentally
I can’t just chalk it off to only the way they physically feel
'Cause I’ve felt like shit a hundred times, and then I worked out and then I
felt way better
It’s just a fact of life, that’s real
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
(People don’t know how to do that)
Do something
And if you’re used to doing this
Get in your car, sit down
Drive to the office, sit down
Go to lunch, sit down
Go to the board meeting, sit down
Get in your car, sit down
Get home, sit down
Then go to the gym?
Fuck off
It’s one thing if someone has good legit physical issues
But there’s a lot of people who do not
They just have poor diet choices, they have a sedentary lifestyle,
and they have the momentum of this sedentary lifestyle that’s holding them
back
They’re accustomed to being lazy
You don’t have to do a lot.
You just have to do something
You walk up hills, you jump a little rope, you take a little tiny kettle bell,
you do a couple cleans and presses, you do a few pushups, you do a few sit ups
to get your blood pumping
You’re moving, you’re alive
To say you don’t have enough energy to exercise, that is crazy to say
Can you walk to the fucking refrigerator?
Yes
Well, you can exercise
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
You don’t have to do anything crazy
Just walk around the block
There’s 80-year-old ladies who take yoga with me
They’re fucking really old and they’re in there
They’re going after it.
They could easily say, «I don’t have the energy to do
that.»
But they don’t.
It’s a mental attitude
They make a decision
Besides you don’t have to kill yourself, you don’t have to go to a CrossFit
class and try to do the workout of the day
You don’t have to go nuts
You don’t have to do that
But you got to do something
Just get-get your blood moving
Your body has requirements
It wants to move
It wants to move
And when it does, you feel better
But people like to give themselves this excuse, «I do not have the energy to do
this.»
Whatever
If you decide that, that’s true
But if you watch a motivational video, there’s a hundred of them on YouTube
thousands even
You go watch one, you get fired up.
You’re like, «Fuck it, I’m gonna jump some
rope.»
You jump some rope, you do something
Do some pushups, do something, you’ll feel better
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
Do something
(Pull that shit up, Jamie)
We have fucked up lifestyles
The human body is not designed to sit down all day
And certainly not designed to be stuck in traffic
And be in the office and just be in front of a fucking computer monitor
watching your soul get sucked through the LCD screen
It’s crazy.
You gotta be really careful with just the way you describe things
Just like, say, «I don’t have the energy to do something.»
Fuck off, stop
