Lyrics

So if you want to make 6 figures, you can't just be talking about you

Want to make 6 figures. You hear what I'm saying to you tonight? If

You do the 3 things I tell you to do tonight, I guarantee whatever it

Is you want to do in life, you'll be able to do. You will be able to

Accomplish whatever you want to academically, financially

Relationally, whatever. So 3 things. Alright, I'm going to tell you

This story, I gotta get out of here. And the story is about, you guys

Have probably heard about this before, there was a young man who

You know, he wanted to make a lot of money and so he went to this

Guru, right? And he told the guru, you know, "I want to be on the

Same level you are." And so the guru said, "If you want to be on the

Same level I'm on, I'll meet you tomorrow at the beach at 4 am." He

Like, "The beach? I said I want to make money, I don't want to swim

" Guru said, "If you want to make money, I'll meet you tomorrow. 4 am

" So the young man got there at 4 am, he all ready to rock and roll

Got on a suit, should have worn shorts. The old man grabs his hand

Said, "How bad do you want to be successful?" He said, "Real bad."

He said, "Walk on out in the water." So he walks out into the water

Watch this, when he walks out into the water it goes waist deep. So

He like, "This guy crazy." Adrian, he like, "I want to make money, he

Got me out here swimming. I didn't ask to be a lifeguard. I want to

Make money, he got me in." So he said, "Come out a little further."

He walked out a little further, then he had it right around this

Area. This shoulder area. So this old man crazy. He making money but

He crazy. He said, "Come on out a little further." He came out a

Little further, it was right at his mouth, my man like, "I'm about

To go back in here, this guy out of his mind." So the old man said

"I thought you said you wanted to be successful." He said, "I do."

He said, "Walk a little further." He came, dropped his head in, held

Him down, hold him down, my man, get him scratching, holding him

Down, I got you, I know you brushed it off but I got you. He had him

Held down, I need you for illustration. He had him held down, just

Before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up. He said, "

I got a question for you." Somebody answer the question for me. He

Said, "When you were underwater, what did you want to do?" Live? I'm

Looking for a different word, go ahead, what's that word? He 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 of y'all got asthma here today, but if you ever

Had an asthma attack before, you short of breath, SOB, shortness of

Breath, you wheezing, the only thing you trying to do is get some

Air. You don't care about no basketball game, you don't care what's

On TV, 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 want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe

Then you'll be successful. And I'm here to tell you, number 1, that

Most of you say you want to be successful but you don't want it bad

You just kind of want it. You don't want it badder than you want to

Party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you

Don't want success as much as you want to 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 got to be willing to give

Up sleep. You got to be willing to work off of 3 hours of sleep

2 Hours. If you really want to be successful, some days you're

Going to have to stay up 3 days in a row. Because if you go to

Sleep, you might miss the opportunity to be successful. That's

How bad you got to want it. You got to go days without, listen to

Me, you got to want to be successful so bad that you forget to eat

Beyonce said once she was on the set doing her thing, 3 days had

Gone by, she forgot she didn't eat. Cause she was engaged. I never

Forget when 50 Cent was doing his movie, I did a little research

On 50, and 50 said that when he wasn't doing the movie, he was

Doing the soundtrack. And they said, "When do you sleep, 50?" He

Said, "Sleep? Sleep is for those

People who are broke. I don't sleep."
