| You’re either on the offense
|
| Or defense
|
| You’re either on the offense o
|
| Or defense
|
| I think a lot of people think they’re in the middle
|
| In a transit
|
| You’re only on the offense
|
| Or the defense
|
| I’ve realized that
|
| I’ve been on the offense my whole life
|
| Because I never felt entitled to anything
|
| An incredible thing happens
|
| When you’re born with very little
|
| You know, I was born in the Soviet Union
|
| We come to America I live in a studio apartment in Queens
|
| My parents bought me six toys
|
| In my entire life kind of thing
|
| We took one family vacation in my entire life
|
| When I wanted Nintendo
|
| My mom looked me dead in the face
|
| And said, «Good, go buy it»
|
| On the flip side
|
| She reinforced things that came natural to me
|
| And made them the most important things
|
| While I was getting Ds and Fs
|
| And every other immigrant parent
|
| Was making their kids get
|
| 'Cause they thought that’s what mattered
|
| My mom was accelerating any time that
|
| I showed compassion
|
| Any time that I showed empathy
|
| Any time that I showed gratitude
|
| You’re either on the offense
|
| Or defense
|
| You’re either on the offense
|
| Or defense
|
| I think a lot of people think they’re in the middle
|
| In a transit
|
| You’re only on the offense
|
| Or the defense
|
| I once opened a door
|
| And I will remember this for the rest of my life
|
| I was eight
|
| I opened a door for a woman
|
| You would have thought
|
| That I won a Nobel Peace Prize
|
| My mom made such a big deal about that
|
| You have to understand what she did
|
| No matter how bad you have it
|
| Millions, billions have it worse
|
| And so, for me
|
| The mindset that I pulled in this whole game
|
| Is nobody cares
|
| Nobody cares
|
| And not that they don’t care, people have compassion
|
| But they can’t
|
| Think about how much you even care
|
| Even for people you love the most
|
| It’s just a human thing
|
| And more importantly
|
| We have it ridiculously good
|
| You’re either on the offense
|
| Or defense
|
| You’re either on the offense
|
| Or defense
|
| I think a lot of people think they’re in the middle
|
| In a transit
|
| You’re only on the offense
|
| Or the defense
|
| This Internet thing
|
| This Internet thing
|
| Is the most important invention
|
| In the history of the human being
|
| All the things that you worry about
|
| Of like the man stopping you
|
| Or something stopping you
|
| All these things that we envision
|
| That are the reasons why you haven’t been successful
|
| This Internet thing is taking away
|
| The Internet
|
| The Internet is the middleman
|
| It’s true
|
| You have to understand
|
| How ridiculous
|
| This thing is
|
| The ability for you to create content
|
| Videos, pictures, and written words direct to the audience
|
| Eliminates any excuse you come up with
|
| I could literally spend the next month one by one
|
| Systematically going through this big room
|
| And no matter what excuse you come up with
|
| The answer’s gonna be, «And?»
|
| We have to eliminate complaining
|
| And dwelling
|
| We have to
|
| And that’s what she did for me
|
| She instilled the right positive things
|
| And most of all, she eliminated fucking excuses
|
| She eliminated entitlement
|
| She eliminated fucking excuses
|
| She eliminated entitlement
|
| 2x (Chorus)
|
| You’re either on the offense
|
| Or defense
|
| You’re either on the offense
|
| Or defense
|
| I think a lot of people think they’re in the middle
|
| In a transit
|
| You’re only on the offense
|
| Or the defense |
