From Suffering

Because I'm going to say the exact opposite of what the world
Today's world is saying
So, we read a bunch of books nowadays
As humans we -
We want to find out how to be
Someone else
What we don't do is we don't go inside;
So literally turn yourself inside out
Like we're writing a book every day of our life's
But we never read that book

You have to look inside of yourself to see what you really want? What are you passionate about?
We use these words and little phrases of “only the strong survive”
And all this other crap
They are all just fucking words. I get so tired of hearing people just talking
Like right now, someone may think; “Goggins just talking.”
*Laughs* You don’t know me
So, when I speak, I speak from passion, I speak from experience

[Chorus]
I speak from suffering
I speak from suffering
The only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey
Is you have got to suffer
To grow
To grow you must suffer
I speak from suffering

Some people will get it and some people won’t
Some people will get it and some people won’t [deep bass]
But they have to see what their journey is to start their journey
Some people will get it and some people won’t [deep bass]
Several people live to be a hundred years old
And they have great lives
And they have great kids and those kids go to college
And all that sort of stuff
But somewhere in their lives there was a point where they had a decision to make;
They can go left or right on this path
They can go left or right on this path [deep bass]
They can go left or right on this path
They can go left or right on this path [deep bass]
Left was the easy route
Right was the hard route
A lot of people take the easy route
And they had a good life that way
But the better life was going to the right side
And you may have 20 years of pain and suffering to get past it
But a lot of us die never truly starting our journey
And you got to start your journey
It may suck, but it will
Come out the other side, we're coasting

[Chorus]
I speak from suffering
I speak from suffering
The only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey
Is you have got to suffer
To grow
To grow you must suffer
I speak from suffering

Everyday we’re seeing who we are as people
When I was growing up
I lied for people to accept me because I didn’t accept myself
So I would make up stories, so you would accept me into your world
Everything I did was for someone else to like me
It wasn't until I started reading my own book about how pathetic I was as a human being
I could blame my dad, I could blame kids at school, I could blame having health issues ADD, with my mom not being around
Great mom but she was doing here thing
I could blame a lot of people
And that's the book I was reading and I put it off on everybody else
It wasn’t until I said;
“You know what for me to fix this I got to read what the fuck is wrong with David Goggins.”
And not blame anybody
Read my book, it’s okay I’m afraid of my shadow
How can I overcome that?
Go in the military, get your ass kicked, do things that you hate to do Be uncomfortable every fucking day of your life
Roger that

I’m not the smartest kid in the world
Okay, instead of somebody saying; “Oh no, you're smart. Oh no no, don’t say that to yourself.”
I said to myself; “I’m a dumb motherfucker”
Okay, Roger that
How you get smarter?
Educate yourself
So, the things that we run from we're running from the truth
We’re running from the truth, man

So, the only way I became successful was going towards the truth
As painful, as brutal, as it is
It changed me
It allowed me to become
In my own right
Who I am today

[Chorus]
I speak from suffering
I speak from suffering
The only way you're ever going to get to the other side of this journey
Is you have got to suffer
To grow
To grow you must suffer
I speak from sufferin
