Do Shit That's Difficult Lyrics

Everybody got these stupid barriers they put in their own head
You gotta resist those goddamn things 'cause they don't do you any good
And they certainly define the potential for your future in a negative way
It's not self-serving and it's not even real
But this idea that there's no way to get past the starting block today is just ludicrous, it's crazy, and it's just this poor thinking
And people that are trapped in bad situations
One of the problems is you feel like this is your future
You feel like you're f*cked. You can't get out of it, there's no hope, there's no light at the end of the tunnel, there's no rainbow
And if you feel like that, that alone can be incredibly defining and limiting
But if you look at yourself objectively and say, "Ok, I am kinda f*cked here. I'm in credit card debt, I'm working in a shitty job, I don't like what I'm doing, but I have some ideas. I need to feed those f*cking ideas
I need to feed them and water them. I need to set aside a certain amount of time every day to just try to make those things happen."
Every day to just try to make those things happen
Every day to just try to make those things happen
Every day, you can do that

[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

You look at someone who's doing really well or very famous and successful
All you see is him now flying around in private jets, wearing a new pair of sneakers every day, driving around in Bentley's, you just see that
You don't see him being a young kid in Philadelphia, going to open mic nights
There's a progression that you are not witness to
You don't see it and that takes place in everything. It takes place in the office, it takes place in comedians and musicians
There is a starting point and then with time and focus, as long as you reevaluate, you reassess, and consequently, objectively, look at what you're doing and then pursue it with passion and focus, you get better at things There's always going to be people that are luckier than you
Some of it is luck and some of it is courage
Some of it is putting your ass out there, some of it is trying things
One of the things that I always like to tell people that I think you should do, is do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

Failure teaches you things that you don't learn from success
I think failure gives you an opportunity for self-examination and also gives you a feeling that is very uncomfortable
And that very uncomfortable feeling helps you grow
And don't look at these failures as proof that you suck
Look at them as opportunities for growth
And don't look at these failures as proof that you suck
Look at them as opportunities to be motivated, to be better

[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle

[Chorus]
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult every day
You can do that
Do shit that's difficult every day, every day
Do shit that's difficult
It's very important to struggle
[Outro]
This life doesn't have enough of that
There's not enough struggle
You don't get to know yourself without struggle
You don't get to know your boundaries unless you push them
You don't get to know who you are really unless you're tested
