The Dark Side
Unlocking Happiness: Embracing the Dark Side with Akira the Don and David Goggins
Lyrics
I’m the happiest man on the planet Earth
I consider myself the happiest person on Earth.
So people may take this and as so many people
People might misunderstand my happiness.
Do we live in a very weakened society
Our society is perceived as weakened.
So when they hear a throwback guy like me
People may not understand an old-school person like me.
From back in the ancient days of Garanimals
Referring to the past and simplicity (Garanimals).
They often think this guy’s just
People might think I don't care.
Whatever so if you
Don't assume I'm unhappy.
Think that I’m some unhappy guy you’re wrong
Correcting the misconception of being unhappy.
Having lived a life I’ve lived in seeing
My life experiences and fearlessness contribute to my happiness.
The other side not being afraid
Not afraid to confront challenges.
To attack what was in front of
Facing obstacles head-on brings happiness.
Me has made me happy that made me very happy
Confronting challenges has brought joy.
Basically I just don’t walk around with a
Not always visibly smiling, but content.
Daggone smile my face all day
Acknowledging challenges but still wishing well.
So you know Merry Christmas
Wishing happiness despite difficulties.
What the dark side is is we all have a cookie
Introducing the concept of the "dark side."
Jar and we all have a jar of fuck
The dark side represents personal struggles and negativity.
(The dark side) We all have a cookie jar
-And we all have a jar of fuck
-(The dark side) We all have a cookie jar

Reiterating the challenging nature of life.
We’re shit just it’s just ain’t going right
Expressing frustration when things go wrong.

Describing the intensity and purpose of "hell week" training.
Do in hell week because
-This is where I really went to the dark side
-What they're doing hell week as they design

-Of that it’s 130 hours of
-Continuous training you may get two hours
-Of sleep and they beat
-The shit of you and find everything
-Wrong with your mentality and
-Then they start hell week and
-That’s the beauty of it
Highlighting the positive aspect of enduring challenges.
For me I’m not some not some
Downplaying natural talent and emphasizing perseverance.
Nasty God given guy you
-Know I don’t have a great
-Bit of talent in anything
-So what got me through horrible times
-Was the dark side whereas
Creating a resilient persona, "Goggins," from the dark side.

-Goggins is the guy that can take anything
-You put in front of them (the dark side)
-(The dark side) We all have a cookie jar
Repeating the idea of the dark side and its components.
And we all have a jar of fuck
-(The dark side) We all have a cookie jar
-And we all have a jar of fuck
-You want to break my motherfucking
Expressing a determination to overcome pain and suffering.
Legs so be it
-I have a way of going to a place
-Like I did in that race where
-All the pain and suffering that they put
-On top of me in hell week
-I will reverse that pain and suffering
-And I will take your soul
Turning challenges into strength.
So every instructor that put me
Reflecting on a desire to outlast and outperform others.
Through BUDS my job what
-Drove me was I wanted you to go home that
-Night after you beat the living
-Shit out of me and
-I smiled in your face I wanted you to
-Feel worse than I did and
-You were going home to
-A nice warm bed with your wife or your
-Kids in a nice meal and I was still out
-There in the grip suffering
-For another 100 hours
-I want you to think about me
Comparing personal endurance to others' experiences.
Knowing that I’m comfortable being very
-Unfuckingcomfortable and I want you to
-Think about when you went
-Through fucking hell week
-How uncomfortable you were and how bad you
-Wanted to quit knowing I’m not
-Thinking that fucking way
-So the dark side is something that
Describing the dark side as a self-designed, resilient place.
I’ve designed it’s an evil
-Place I can go that very
-Few things can hurt me
-(The dark side) We all have a cookie jar
Reiterating the dual nature of the cookie jar and jar of fuck.
And we all have a jar of fuck
-(The dark side) We all have a cookie jar
-And we all have a jar of fuck
-I used the hurt you’re trying to put on me
Turning negative experiences into sources of strength.
I flip it upside down and use it
-You're trying to use it for kryptonite no
-It’s power pillows for me I’m
-Using it for strength I flipped negative
-Into positive that's all it is
Transforming negativity into positivity.
