If you're going to make it you've got to be willing to be
the outlier.
The weird one.
Forget about fitting in.
Forget about socializing with everyone.
You need to stand out.
When people don't understand you you're doing it right.
It's time to stay focused, man.
It is time.
It is time to go from mediocre
to meteoric.
It's time to decide f*ck clubs
f*ck partying f*ck trying to fit in
and socialize rub elbows with everybody
so people can stop calling you weird.
"Why are you so antisocial?"
Because I'm trying to get it.
"Why are you standing on the basketball court so much?"
Because I'm trying to get it.
"Why are you out there practicing in the hot sun
when ain't nobody else out there?"
Because I'm trying to get it.
"Why are you not clubbing?
Like, every time I text you and invite you to go do something fun and
cool you always studying."
Because I'm trying to get it.
The more weird you are is a reflection of how committed you are
to focusing on your sh*t.
Molding and shaping and developing your ideas and your craft
so that when it's time for you to make your rounds
you're gonna fly.
When you are misunderstood to the point where people think you're psycho
and you're nuts, and you're this and that "why are you in the f*cking gym
at one o'clock in the f*cking morning?
What is wrong?"
When people don't understand you anymore you're in that spot
of obsession and drive.
To be the best at what you do you have to be unbalanced
to find every bit of f*cking energy and strength that you have
to pull it off.
And it takes being f*cking obsessed where people think you're crazy.
You still got work to do.
Stay on that basketball court.
Stay on that football field.
F*ck all the homies texting and calling and trying to make you feel bad
about being so focused.
It's grind season, homie.
It's not about today it's about the future.
Do the work now and all of the sh*t that you could ever want
to do for your family
your kids, your loved ones it's all gonna be on a whole 'nother stratosphere.
While they were golfing I was studying.
While they were shooting hoops I was studying.
While they were playing games and sitting up and eating
and joking in the restaurant I was studying.
While they go party you grind.
While they go spend their money you go make it.
While they criticize and make fun of you
you work endlessly to shut them up
with your results.
Don't kill them with kindness.
Torture them with success.
The best revenge is massive success.
All men are created equal.
Some work harder.
Some of us just grind.
Some of those don't make excuses.
Many of you have lost your competitive edge.
Get your competitive edge back.
Act like you're playing basketball act like you're playing football
going in that doggone classroom compete.
You're not giving 120.
You're giving 70.
You're giving 60.
You're giving 50.
And you want what these people who've given sweat
who's given blood who's given tears
you want what they paid for and it ain't free.
You might be bigger than me you might be faster than me
you might be stronger than me but you will not outwork me.
You will not outwork me 'cause your height
has nothing to do with my work ethic.
Your 2 parent background has nothing to do with my work ethic.
You will not outwork me.
On your jet you will not outwork me.
In your Bentley you will not outwork me.
You will not outwork me.
You can't get out of something something that you're not willing
to put into it.
You have to put your everything your everything
your mind your energy
your effort your discipline.
Nothing is going to jump out the fire if you don't throw something in there
it's not gonna happen.
I don't care what it costs I will do
whatever it takes to win.
I'm gonna f*cking make myself good enough.
I'm driven.
I'm obsessed.
I wanna prove people wrong.
I'm gonna fail I'm gonna fail
and I will succeed.
You keep gossiping and I'll keep working.
You keep talking smack and I'll keep working.
And when you finally look around at where you are
and where I'm at you'll realize that you have
nothing left to talk smack about.
And you will lose and I will win.
