Lyrics Never Been Better - Akira the Don, Gary Vaynerchuk

Never Been Better

You know, I mean, of course we’ve gotten soft
As a culture in the US
Because the US has had an incredible 200-year run
Like, this is just what happens
And that’s a great thing
That means there’s been enormous amounts of prosperity
But let’s not be naive
I mean, people literally complain
When somebody gives them the wrong
Amount of, like, extra cream in a Starbucks $ 6 coffee
My lack of interesting complaining is so high
And when I watch, what people complain about
It breaks my heart
Because they completely lack perspective
I genuinely believe my happiness and optimism
Comes from my perspective
Even in political unrest times like right now
A lot of people are very bent out of shape
But the reality is that
It’s just never been better
It’s just never been better
To be a human being
It’s just never been better
That’s just the truth, that’s just data, that’s
That’s reality, it’s just never been better
To be a human being
It’s just never been better
That’s just the truth, that’s just data, that’s
That’s reality
It’s just an incredible time
And I think the way people look at the world right now
Is actually the quickest tell to who they are
If you think it sucks or it’s bad
You have losing pessimistic DNA
And if you think it’s awesome and phenomenal
You have optimistic winning DNA
And I believe that to be true
That’s where we’re at
We’re beating ourselves up
Like, everybody sucks
At something
Right?
Like, we all have shortcomings
And we all have strengths
And for me it’s like
Why don’t we just audit that
Like, why don’t you look at it that way
And be like, all right, well, I’m good at this
But I’m not good at that
And then I only focus what I’m good at, right
Like, I don’t dwell that I can’t fix shit around the house
I call somebody to fix it
Like, I’m not like, I’m not a man
I don’t give a fuck
I don’t get it
I also think it’s awesome that I’m so emotionally stable
And I’m the emotional backbone of everybody
Is that what a dude’s supposed to do?
Like, the clichés, these stereotypes are so silly
I don’t judge myself
I’m fully in love with myself
It’s just never been better
To be a human being
It’s just never been better
That’s just the truth, that’s just data, that’s
That’s reality
It’s just never been better
To be a human being
It’s just never been better
That’s just the truth, that’s just data, that’s
That’s reality
And I’m also fully in love with everybody else too
It goes both ways
I tell people to buy into me
That work for me
It’s 'cause I buy into them first
I don’t need anybody to gain trust with me
It’s there
I believe the human race is so grossly underrated
We are good
Of course, we have some bad
There’s fucking seven billion of us
But, like, when you look at our net score, it’s bonkers shit
Do you know how much damage we can be doing to each other
On an hourly basis and we don’t
We’re still here
And we won
We’re the alpha being
And we’ve figured out how to stay together
This is insane when you think about it
And yet everybody wants to dwell
On like, somebody said something mean
It’s just never been better
To be a human being
It’s just never been better
That’s just the truth, that’s just data, that’s
That’s reality
It’s just never been better
To be a human being
It’s just never been better
That’s just the truth, that’s just data, that’s
That’s reality
