Breathe Interlude

I said I wanted to breathe.
He told the guy,
he said,
"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful."
I don't know how many yall got Asthma in here today,
but if you ever had a asthma attack before,

you short of breath,
S.O.B.,
shortness of breath.
You weezin',
huuuhuhhhuh.
The only thing you tryna do is get some air.
You don't care about no basketball game.
You don't care what's on T.V.
You don't care about nobody calling you.
You don't care about a party.
The only thing you care about when you trying to breathe is to get some fresh air.
That's it.
And when you get to the point where all you wanna do is be successful as bad as you wanna breathe,
then you'll be successful.
And I'm here to tell you number one,
that most of you say you wanna be successful, but you don't want it bad,
you just kinda want it.
You don't want it badder than you wanna party.
You don't want it as much as you wanna be cool.
Most of you don't want success as much as you wanna sleep.
Some of you love sleep
more than you love success.
And I'm here to tell you today,
if you're going to be successful,
you gotta be willing to give up sleep.
You gotta be willing to work off of three hours of sleep, two hours.
If you really wanna be successful,
some days you gon' have to stay up three days in a row,
because if you go to sleep,
you might miss the opportunity to be successful.
That's how bad you gotta want it.
