Discipline Gets Things Done

The one thing that discipline definitely does help you with
It helps you get things done
And when you get things done, when you actually do things
You have more success
A big part of success is just not being fucking lazy and just doing it
90% of it is just showing up, get there, and start working
Like you're not gonna feel perfect every day
If I only worked out when I felt good, I'd be a fat fuck
'Cause there's a lotta days I don't wanna do it
It's pretty much the same with everybody
That actually gets good at something
There's gotta be those days you push through
They're probably gonna be more numerous than the days you don't
And so the benefit of discipline in my eyes
Has always been that through discipline, I get things done
I'm like the most lazy disciplined person I know
Because I don't wanna do it

Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do

I also think that discipline is a pathway to creativity
When you're on the battlefield
Is an absolute exercise in creativity
How are we gonna attack them?
How will we get this organized?
How are we gonna get in their heads?
That's all just massive creativity
And when I look at people that are artists
I would imagine the more disciplined you are
You gotta write stuff down, you gotta read
You gotta increase your vocabulary so that you are quicker and sharper
So that when people are saying things
You have more words to battle back at them
All those things, all that freedom that you get on stage
Comes from the discipline
You study, you learn, you read, you write, you talk
You go through things
Is that an accurate statement?
Absolutely accurate

Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do

And it doesn't matter if you're sick
It doesn't matter if you have kids
You're a pro and you go to work and you have pride in that
And then when you are in front of that keyboard
You look down at the count
And it says, "I've got a fucking thousand words today."
And outta that work, gems blossom
Well, you might have a day where you just write nothing but dog shit
So what? Show up again tomorrow
And tomorrow outta that dog shit a flower will emerge

Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do
