You're either on the offense or defense You're either on the offense o or defense I think a lot of people think They're in the middle in a transit You're only on the offense or the defense I've realized that I've been on the offense my whole life Because I never felt entitled to anything An incredible thing happens When you're born with very little You know, I was born in the Soviet Union We come to America I live in A studio apartment in Queens My parents bought me six toys In my entire life kind of thing We took one family vacation in my entire life When I wanted Nintendo My mom looked me dead in the face And said, "Good, go buy it" on the flip side She reinforced things that came natural to me And made them the most important things While I was getting Ds and Fs And every other immigrant parent Was making their kids get a’s and B’s 'Cause they thought that's what mattered My mom was accelerating any time that I showed compassion Any time that I showed empathy Any time that I showed gratitude You're either on the offense or defense You're either on the offense or defense I think a lot of people Think they're in the middle in a transit You're only on the offense or the defense I once opened a door And I will remember this for The rest of my life i was eight I opened a door for a woman You would have thought That I won a Nobel Peace Prize My mom made such a big deal about that You have to understand what she did No matter how bad you have it Millions, billions have it worse And so, for me The mindset that I pulled in this whole game Is nobody cares nobody cares And not that they don't care People have compassion but they can't Think about how much you even care Even for people you love the most It's just a human thing and more importantly We have it ridiculously good You're either on the offense or defense You're either on the offense or defense I think a lot of people Think they're in the middle in a transit You're only on the offense or the defense This Internet thing this Internet thing Is the most important invention In the history of the human being All the things that you worry about Of like the man stopping you Or something stopping you All these things that we envision That are the reasons why You haven't been successful This Internet thing is taking away The Internet the Internet is the middleman It's true you have to understand How ridiculous this thing is The ability for you to create content Videos, pictures And written words direct to the audience Eliminates any excuse you come up with I could literally spend the next Month one by one Systematically going through this big room And no matter what excuse you come up with The answer's gonna be, "And?" We have to eliminate complaining And dwelling we have to And that's what she did for me She instilled the right positive things And most of all She eliminated fucking excuses She eliminated entitlement She eliminated fucking excuses She eliminated entitlement You're either on the offense or defense You're either on the offense or defense I think a lot of people Think they're in the middle in a transit You're only on the offense or the defense
