Akira The Don - I Can't Hear You

People lose 'cause they think it's gonna happen fast
When life is long
And so
I've been spending a lot of time on this
Just watching behaviors
Who's winning?
Who's winning is the person that likes what they do
It's true
Like, how many more fucking millionaires
Do I have to hang out with
That are gonna take their life
Or in deep depression
Or doing drugs and alcohol to deal with the pain
'Cause making $2.3 million a year
Brings them zero fucking happiness
And how many people do I have to hang out with
That make 87,000 a year
That sells Smurf T-shirts
On the Internet
And love fucking life
(Yeah)
Shit's getting very clear for me
Maybe it's 'cause
I'm getting older now
But shit's getting very clear to me
It's pattern recognition
Life is very basic
We make it unbelievably complicated
We're unbelievably products of the DNA
And the parents and the environment we grew up on
And we have to really understand that
So, we know how to navigate the next step

(Chorus)
I don't hear any of you
Let me say it one more time
I don't hear any of you
Can't hear you
Can't hear you!
How many people here fuck with my content
And they love it
Let me hear you!
Can't hear you
Can't hear you!

People lack the ability to put their life
In perspective
I've been pushing people lately
Who are 43-year-old entrepreneurs sending me emails
And they have a six-year-old child
They love their business, they're killing it
Things are going great
And my advice is to slow down
Take the next 12 years
Because they're telling me
What they know about themselves is
If they go to little Ricky and little Janet's Softball games and recitals
And if they hang out with them
And play Wii with them all day
That that's what's gonna make them happy
And then they think they're sending me an email
'Cause I'm the business guy
And I'm gonna tell them that's wrong
Are you out of your fucking mind?
You need to be happy
And if you're self-aware enough to know
That at 43 years old, you have six-year-old kids
That you wanna spend the next 12 years
Taking the foot off the pedal
So, you can allocate time to watch those kids grow
I've got tremendous news for you
You're just gonna be 55
And the baby, when they go to college
And they're not gonna wanna talk to you anyway
You're gonna been able to go all in
Do you know how liberating it is?
When people understand how young 59 years old is
Do you know how many people think
They're supposed to have their life figured out
At 18, 22, and 30
When the parents that are putting pressure on them
To figure out their lives
Don't have their lives figured out
How the fuck are you supposed to have your whole life figured out at 28 years old
It's ludicrous
We have such interesting macro theses in our society
That are crippling people
And the reason there's so much anxiety in the system now
Is we're all living our lives in public forums
And now taking on more judgment, not less

(Chorus)
I don't hear any of you
Let me say it one more time
I don't hear any of you
Can't hear you
Can't hear you!
How many people here fuck with my content
And they love it
Let me hear you!
Can't hear you
Can't hear you!

Let me say it one more time
For all the people here, who think I fucking walk on water
I'm the best, I'm such a great dude
I can't fucking hear you
I can't fucking hear you
Let me explain why
Let me explain to you why I can't hear you
Because I have no interest on getting high
On my own supply
The reason
The reason, I can't hear you
Is the same reason that I can't hear the person
That leaves a comment that says I'm a snake oil salesman
Or my cursing is inappropriate, or I suck
Or I'm gonna burn out, or whatever else
I can't hear that fuck face either
And when, over the next 50 years of my life
I figure out how to produce more communications
To help you not hear it either
That is when I will start having more significant impact
Because when you don't hear anything
And I don't mean from just fattypants63
I mean from your dad
I mean from your spouse

When you
When you
Stop hearing things
Shit gets remarkable
When you stop hearing things
Shit gets remarkable
When you stop hearing things
Shit gets remarkable
When you stop hearing things
Shit gets remarkable
When you stop hearing things
Shit gets remarkable
