Welcome to the sports motivation podcast to this week's episode of books and bars where I'm breaking down excerpts from my favorite books, bars from my favorite rap songs, giving you my take, how it highlights to me the mindset behind these artists, behind these authors, how it can affect the way that you think so that you

can get desired results in your career, all right? So today is a bar. You know I love hip hop.

And when I do these books and bars, man, it's funny because I listen to hip hop a lot,

especially when I work out and I'll always hear something and I'll get fired up as I'm working out.

And before I started books and bars, I'd be like, man, I wish people would like understand how deep this is.

Like, I hear the wisdom in it.

And I wanted to share that with people.

And this is this song, this particular set of bars that I'm

a reveal to you is from a song that I've been using a long time. I remember when this album came

out, I think it was post football for me, but I used it a lot to motivate me to drive me. And

it always stuck out to me what this artist

said.

This is currency.

Currency is from New Orleans.

Used to rap with Weezy way back in the day, but it's since been doing this thing independently,

I'm pretty sure, and killing it.

And this is from Pilot Talk, all right? So the album, it's called Pilot Talk. This song

is called Example. So check what he says. Brennan, go ahead and drop it.

Un, boss the fuck up, be something n-up. I am an example of what can happen when you could

be in the freight to gamble., shook the dice and roll.

When the shit is like you want to stay shook and froze, I get busy.

Yeah.
