Do Shit That's Difficult

Everybody got these stupid barriers they put in their own head You gotta resist those goddamn things 'Cause they don't do you any good And they certainly define the potential for your future In a negative way It's not self-serving and it's not even real But this idea that there's no way to get past the starting block today Is just ludicrous, it's crazy, and it's just this poor thinking And people that are trapped in bad situations One of the problems is you feel like this is your future You feel like you're fucked. You can't get out of it There's no hope, there's no light at the end of the tunnel There's no rainbow And if you feel like that, that alone can be Incredibly defining and limiting But if you look at yourself objectively and say "Ok, I am kinda fucked here. I'm in credit card debt I'm working in a shitty job, I don't like what I'm doing But I have some ideas I need to feed those fucking ideas I need to feed them and water them I need to set aside a certain amount of time every day To just try to make those things happen."
