Be Good at a Few Things That You Can Control
Do you know who Akira The Don is?
Of course, HE'S AMAZING!
[Chorus]
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Find a few things that you can completely control, and control the fuck out of it
There's nothing better for your self esteem than knowing that if you work hard on something
Whatever it is, that you can become one of the good ones
Not the best in the world, but better than other people, but better than other people, but better than other people (become the best in the world at what you do, best in the world at what you do, best in the world at what you do, best in the world at what you do)
And the things that you can control the most are diet, fashion choices, hair cut, fitness
You can control the fuck out of those things
(You can control the fuck out of those things)
[Chorus]
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Find a few things that you can completely control, and control the fuck out of it
If your not good at fashion find somebody who is, get some advice
Don't know how to exercise, find somebody who can and have them tell you how
Don't know how to eat right, find somebody who knows and have you tell them how
Find some things that you can completely control and control the fuck out of it
Just control the fuck out of em', because that's where you get your self esteem
And I'm actually a really good example for this, and I'm going to say something astonishingly lacking humility
I'm a person who is good at a lot of things, a lot of things
If you made a list of things that the press has called me and asked for my expert opinion on
You'd be kinda surprised, it's across economics, business, humour, politics, persuasion
But, how many things are there, that you could be good at, all the things that humans can do
It's gigantic, right, there's like millions of things that people can do and I'm good at almost zero
Like if you took all of my skills and compared them to all the skills that anybody could have in the world it rounds to zero
It doesn't even round to 1%
And I'm an example of somebody who has pretty high skills in a variety of of fields and it still rounds to zero
[Chorus]
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Be good at a few things that you can control, you can control, you can control
Find a few things that you can completely control, and control the fuck out of it
[Instrumental bridge - guitar solo]
But it still makes me feel good, that there's a few things that I can do well, and that's why I concentrate on fitness and diet, and you know in the case of a guy if you get your fitness and diet right your probably pretty good
So control the things that you can control get good at them and remember nobody is good at much
