lirik lagu akira the don - escape competition through authenticity
it’s both a search and a recognition
because sometimes when we search our egos
we wanna be something that we aren’t
and our friends and family are better
at telling us actually who we are
or looking back at what we’ve done
is a better indicator of who we are
[chorus]
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is nonе)
escape competition through authenticity
(numbеr one, competition is none)
the way to escape competition
is to just be authentic to yourself
we’re highly memetic creatures
we copy what everybody else is doing around us
we copy our desires from them
everyone around me is a great artist
i wanna be an artist
if everyone around me is a great business person
i wanna be a business person
social activists, i wanna be a social activist
that’s where my self~esteem will come from
you have to be a little careful
when you get caught up in these status games
that you end up competing over things
that aren’t worth competing over
sometimes you just get trapped in the wrong game
and the best way to escape competition
to get away from the specter of competition
which is not just stressful and nerve~racking
but will often drive you to just the wrong answer
[chorus]
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
the way to escape competition
is to just be authentic to yourself
if you are fundamentally building
and marketing something
that is just an extension of who you are
no one can compete with you on that
(no one can compete with you on that)
who’s gonna compete with joe rogan or scott adams
it’s impossible
is somebody else gonna come along
write a better „dilbert“?
no, is someone gonna compete with bill watterson
and create a better “calvin and hobbes”
no, they’re being authentic
this is easiest to see in art
artists are, by definition, all naturally authentic
but even entrepreneurs are authentic
who’s gonna be elon musk
these people are authentic
and the businesses and products they create
are authentic to their desires and their means
if somebody else came along
and started launching rockets
i don’t think it would phase elon one bit
he’s still gonna get to mars
’cause that’s his mission
insane as it seems
that’s the one he’s set for himself
and he’s gonna accomplish it
so authenticity
naturally gets you away from competition
[chorus]
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
the way to escape competition
is to just be authentic to yourself
now, long~term
if you are good and successful at what you do
you will find that, whatever your hobbies were
you’re almost doing them for a living
now, combine your vocation and your avocation
what you love to do and what you do do
combine your vocation and your avocation
what you love to do and what you do do
[chorus]
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
escape competition through authenticity
(number one, competition is none)
the way to escape competition
is to just be authentic to yourself
(escape competition through authenticity)
(escape competition through authenticity)
ideally, you wanna end up
specializing in being you
being you
being you
