There are no two words in the English language more harmful then good job.

We all know the story. We’ve all been there. You do a good job and you pat yourself on the back. That’s good but you’re stopping yourself short from being great. I want you to take it to the next level. I know you can do it, let’s go…

Verse one
Staying back home I was caught up in the cadence
I had to get away to get a new point of reference
Of how I view the world I knew I needed to grow
They say the game is to be sold not to be told
Marketing; doesn’t seem to resonate with your soul
Trying to impregnate a mind on birth control
Something’s gotta give; start deconstructing
Piece it back together and see if it’s missing something
Destroy and rebuild that's how you feel fulfilled
That’s the moral of the story; but you gotta have the will
It’s one shot; one kill; I run; up hill;
Light sweat; fun drill; I do that; until
Dopamine hits my brain now we know how that feels
While you stay popping pills; headaches and Advil
They say go and take control of your life
But will you choose to do that or will pay the price?
To be a…

Hook x2
Good man; good man; get out the hood man
I know you made it out doing what you could man
Good man; good man; how long will you wait
I hope you know that good is the enemy of great

Verse two
Stop being average and start being a savage
There’s more to you than just being a cabbage
Carrying you past? Do push-ups with that baggage
I got a challenge and I know that you can manage
It’s time we separate the weak from the fake
Stop worrying about how much you can take
You gotta start believing you ain’t got a ceiling
The key is to build your chi; focus on your breathing
And that’s the beginning; continue to explore
You’re capable of more than what you bargained for
I know a lot of people standing where you stood
There’s a difference in what you should and you could
Your future you is looking and shaking his head
While you scroll through social media laying in bed
You should get up mo'fucker give me twenty instead
Or lay there and just watch the laziness spread
I ain’t tryina be a prick; I ain’t doing this for sport
…I just hope you don’t sell yourself short
You did good; Ok, that’s a pat on the back
You do great; Now you’ve inspired the pack
Yeah, I’m talking iron man; breathe it through your diaphragm
Take it higher than the pitch of a siren man
Put the work-in til they close the curtain
Good is the enemy of great; I am certain...

Hook x2
Good man; good man; get out the hood man
I know you made it out doing what you could man
Good man; good man; how long will you wait
I hope you know that good is the enemy of great
