The Cookie Jar

I’m deep in the cookie jar, the cookie jar is something that I’ve made up of\nall the failures of my life\nAll the things that I failed and I went back\nI failed and I went back and finally succeeded\nAll the things that kicked my ass\nI put them all in the cookie jar\nCause at times of hell even the hardest man\nIn times of suffering what we do is we forget how hard we really are\nThat’s what suffering is, suffering is a test that’s all it is\nSuffering is a true test of lif\nAnd so that cookie jar travels in my brain so whenver I get put in a situation\nwhere I have poopy pants\nThe one with me mentality of 'oh my god life sucks'\nI take the 1 second decision, I step out of my life for one second go into the\ncookie jar pull up\n'Oh motherfucker you been you were in three hell weeks and finished two\nOne of those hell weeks a guy died because it was so bad\nOh you are a motherfucking bad ass, you are'\nI put it back into the cookie jar and I remember who the fuck I really am\nI’m not the kid that was called nigga, I’m not the scared kid\nThis is who I am\nIt’s a reminder of who you truly are at the core of yourself\nThis is who I am\nBut what I was saying in myself the whole time on that track\nThis is who I am\nSelf talk and visualization are the two keys to my success\nI believed for that last 19 miles\nI was indestructible\nBecause I took myself in that chair, crapping up my back, peeing blood down my\nleg, shin splints, stress fractures\nI used all that for motivation versus negativity I used it for motivation\nI said to myself who on this fucking earth would still be going right now\nYou are\nYou are\nYou gotta be the hardest motherfucker on the planet\nIs it true? I don’t give a fuck\nAt that time it got me to the finish line of that fucking race\nI believed it, I believe it today\nI believed it enough to where my body said 'he's not gonna stop'\nAnd that’s I took all the negative things I need to go to the hospital this and\nthat\nAnd i used it all who the hell could even get out of that chair\nThis is who I am\nWho the hell would even think about taping stress fractures up\nThis is who I am\nYou do, you did\nThis is who I am\nAll those things I used for motivation\nThis is who I am\nThis is who I am\nThis is who I am\nAll those things I used for motivation
