Lyrics This Is It - Akira the Don, Jocko Willink

This Is It

I’ve been lucky
I’ve been blessed
I’ve had a life that I would not trade with anyone
IN the world
When you talk about Ramadi
That was the highlight of my life
Because I was leading men in combat
Which was something I always wanted to do
And something that I felt that I was destined to do
And when I was in that situation I knew that
I don’t look back and say I wish I would have enjoyed that
No, I knew it then
This is it
This is it
This is it
This is what you’ve been waiting for your whole life
And what you really have been preparing for your whole life
I was lucky to have incredible guys to work with
I was lucky enough to have guys
That were so brave and so dedicated
I would use the word fearless
Not that they didn’t have fear, but that they overcame it
All the time
And so I’d say if there’s anything that I struggle with now
It’s just that, does anything else matter?
And the answer is no, it’s just no
Nothing else matters, nothing else is close
And so you have to deal with that
This is it
This is it
This is it
This is it
And I don’t sit there at night, wishing I was back
Well, ok, I do that, sometimes I often wish I was back
But I don’t dwell on it
Because it’s gone
Because it’s gone
Because it’s gone
And I’m so happy that I could be apart of it
And that i was able to work with such tremendous guys
And I try to keep their memory alive
Every day
