David Goggins (I Wish The Water Was Cold)

When I was in the military
We'd go on these instructor-led runs
Most of the time, we knew the start and end point
So on the way back
I'd start seeing people gettin' happy and shit
Because the end was near

But there were some asshole instructors
That would hear the happiness
And go right on past the end point
When that happened
Everybody stopped talking, heads would start dropping
And I'd start taking fucking souls

At that time, I knew what happened in their minds
They were livin' off the hope factor
They hoped the instructors would stop running
They hoped the water was never cold
They hoped the weather was fucking good

I don't live off that hope shit
I wish the water was cold
I wish them motherfucking instructors keep on fucking running
I wish for fucking rain

When the ending is unknown
And the distance is unknown
That's when you know who the fuck you are
