Lyrics

When I realized

That losing your temper was a sign of weakness

As soon as I made that connection

I said to myself, "This is weak I'm gonna try not to do it anymore"

And what's weird is when you're a kid

And you'd see someone get angry and it made you afraid

For a while, I saw it as like a power

A way to achieve power

That you can lose your temper and then all of a sudden

You have this extra strength and

But when you're a little kid, if I could get that rage going

And people are scared, like I used to feel, that's a positive thing

And then, as I got older

I realized, hey

This isn't cool

This isn't strength, it's actually weakness

And I didn't realize that overnight, but I started getting the idea

That that was weakness

And now when you see someone that is in control

And even when bad things are happening,

Standing stoically, said, "Okay"

"Let me take another look at that and I'll get it done"

Okay, if you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, if you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

What are the pre-event indicators

That show you or reveal to you that your temper is about to be lost?

What are they?

You clench your fists, right?

You raise your voice, and you start doing that stuff

You start the heavy breathing

You flare your nostrils, right?

'Cause that's an animal thing where you're gonna take in more oxygen

So you open up the nostrils 'cause you're about to get after it

What indicators do you have when you know

That you're starting to feel that?

And as soon as you feel that

You detach, you go, "Oh, that's what that is that's an indicator

And it's a weakness

And I don't like weakness, so I'm not gonna allow it"

And then take a breath, nod your head slowly in the affirmative

Like, I understand this is the way things are I accept this

Okay, if you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, if you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, when you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, when you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

And then you're seeing whatever, you know, guys will count to 10

You know, you tell your little kids that

Tell your little kids when they start losing their temper

"You know, you need to count to 10"

Count to 10, count to 100, count to 1,000, whatever is you gotta do

And get control because

If you're losing control, it's not strength, it's weakness

If you're losing control, it's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, if you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, if you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, when you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, when you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness

Okay, when you're losing control

It's not strength, it's weakness
