LYRICS [Intro] Listen, son. Three rules. I paid for every one of 'em. Write 'em down. [Verse 1] Rule one, son — I learned it bleedin' at thirty-five: You can't live the same day and expect a different life. I hit snooze for ten years and I prayed to be free, Same couch, same bottle, same "next week" — that was me. You know what crazy is, son? It ain't the man screamin' in the street, It's the man doin' the same thing daily, expectin' a different week. Your grandfather did it — forty years, the same old song, Waitin' on a miracle while the same old habits rolled along. So change one thing. Just one. Make it small enough to win — Ten push-ups, one page. Tomorrow? Do it again. You don't need a new life, son — you need a new mornin', 'Cause a life is just the mornings, stackin' up without warnin'. [Chorus] Don't wish it was easier — wish that you were better, Don't curse the storm, son — learn to walk through any weather. Do the same, get the same — nothin' changes till you change, Life is ten percent the hit, son — ninety what you do with the pain. [Verse 2] Rule two — life don't ask you what you're ready to take, It hits you with the layoff, the diagnosis, the heartbreak. That part's not yours, son — that's the storm, that's the rain, What you do the next mornin' — that's the part with your name. Two men get the same call on the same cold day, One drinks it for a year — one builds himself a way. Same hit, son. Same pain. Different man inside, It was never what happened — it was how you replied. Rule three — you're gonna fall. I fell on day twelve, Missed one day — that's life. Miss two — you're back to your old self. So when you fall, get up before the sun hits the floor — Never miss twice, son. That's the whole war. [Chorus] Don't wish it was easier — wish that you were better, Don't curse the storm, son — learn to walk through any weather. Do the same, get the same — nothin' changes till you change, Life is ten percent the hit, son — ninety what you do with the pain. [Bridge] Easy never came, son. I got better instead. Same storm... different man. [Chorus] Don't wish it was easier — wish that you were better, Don't curse the storm, son — learn to walk through any weather. Do the same, get the same — nothin' changes till you change, Life is ten percent the hit, son — ninety what you do with the pain. [Outro] Don't wish it was easier... Be better. Tomorrow, six a.m. Get up, son. Music made with Suno. Visuals generated with AI. #motivationalrap #discipline #fatherandson
