| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the sports motivation podcast. This is your host, Niyushobo, and today is another episode of books and bars where I break down excerpts from books that I read, break down bars that I hear from rap lyrics that I enjoy. And recently, we've added something new. |
| 0:24.4 | Bars from speeches from people that admire as well. |
| 0:24.9 | All right. |
| 0:36.0 | Now, today is not from a speech, but it's from, it's a clip from some just some Jewels that a rapper actually has dropped. And it's from this video on YouTube. |
| 0:38.3 | And, you know, what's funny is a lot of people who not rap really just, a lot of it just comes from ignorance. |
| 0:45.3 | But even those who like rap, I think you sometimes imagine that these rappers that you see can only talk about one thing. |
| 0:54.2 | You forget that they also had to apply |
| 0:56.6 | the universal laws of success in order to get what they want. |
| 0:59.8 | And what you find is that they're a lot more articulate |
| 1:02.6 | and have very clearly defined philosophies |
| 1:08.3 | that have landed them in the places of power that they've gotten to. |
| 1:12.1 | And I always enjoy hearing from the words of these rappers themselves. It's one of the things |
| 1:17.3 | that I enjoy about rap through the lyrics. And I also feel like a lot of rappers need to write |
| 1:22.5 | books. There's no reason in the world why all of these top rappers, the ditties of the world, |
| 1:26.8 | the Lil Wains of the world, the Rick Rosses of the world, shouldn't have New York Times bestsellers laying out the philosophies. |
| 1:33.0 | But anyway, Rick Ross in this clip drops the straight bar that really spoke to me and I want to break it down. |
| 1:39.1 | So B. Croc, go ahead and drop that and let's break into it. So what we're going to do is set our goals, |
| 1:47.6 | and we're going to set them to exactly what we want them to be. |
| 1:50.7 | We're not going to rush, though. |
| 1:52.4 | Ain't no rush. |
| 1:58.6 | Keep in mind, the heaviest tank on the battlefield always move the slowest. |
| 2:03.4 | But what we won't do is waste no more time. |
