This Is It - Akira the Don, Jocko Willink

I’ve been lucky

I’ve been blessed

I’ve had a life that I would not trade with anyone

IN the world

When you talk about Ramadi

That was the highlight of my life

Because I was leading men in combat

Which was something I always wanted to do

And something that I felt that I was destined to do

And when I was in that situation I knew that

I don’t look back and say I wish I would have enjoyed that

No, I knew it then

This is it

This is it

This is it

This is what you’ve been waiting for your whole life

And what you really have been preparing for your whole life

I was lucky to have incredible guys to work with

I was lucky enough to have guys

That were so brave and so dedicated

I would use the word fearless

Not that they didn’t have fear, but that they overcame it

All the time

And so I’d say if there’s anything that I struggle with now

It’s just that, does anything else matter?

And the answer is no, it’s just no

Nothing else matters, nothing else is close

And so you have to deal with that

This is it

This is it

This is it

This is it

And I don’t sit there at night, wishing I was back

Well, ok, I do that, sometimes I often wish I was back

But I don’t dwell on it

Because it’s gone

Because it’s gone

Because it’s gone

And I’m so happy that I could be apart of it

And that i was able to work with such tremendous guys

And I try to keep their memory alive

Every day
