PITBULL MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH: Leading By Example

Transcript:
(00:00) a lot of our stories but either you could dwell on it or you could take that hopelessness and say I don't ever want to feel like this again and let it drive you and let it be that passion and let it be that hunger and let it be that intuition that you get to take advantage of every opportunity you possibly can the world is at the palm of your hands it all depends on what you're doing with it [Music] I try to just lead by example I think that to be a prime example of how you want people to be in their community in
(00:35) their culture and be able to be in society so I tell people if you don't know where you're from you don't know where you're going and if you don't stand for something you don't fall for anything I didn't make it through high school I went to about 25 different schools lived in a lot of neighborhoods good and bad the worst you name it in Georgia I was in a foster home what was what we had to do economically we well there was an eviction whether it was you know we're gonna have lights food electricity money
(00:58) whatever it may be but we survived when I was in in first grade I lived in a neighborhood called North Miami and in North Miami I would go to school and the kids would make fun of my nose they were like Armando you got a clown with Mondo oh I started working when I was five years old at a flea market on Northwest 7th Street and 37th Ave and from there you know I parked cars at six years old I cleaned bird cages of seven I sold everything with my mom my mom sold everything you name it so I would knock on doors with her and I learned what
(01:26) what that rejection felt like but the rejection again became gasoline to the fire and all of that taught me how to appreciate hard work and opportunities and that's what I learned from growing up being there in those situations and just appreciating anything you got your hands on whether it was a piece of food a place to stay yeah I was always around some trouble it came to a point I was doing something outside my father had told me in Spanish he said come here I was taking pistols to the bottom of the car since when are
(01:54) you a mechanic like oh boy he said you keep doing what you want to do it's your life but two ways it is going to end up I'm telling you right now okay dead or jail the lessons from my youth that were very important to my success remember when you're growing up in a certain environment you can easily become a product of that environment my environment was these are playing sports you're selling dope or you're going to prison and dying is that really that simple that's the multiple choice you
(02:22) know a b c d that's it what I learned from that is I got a chance to see what I didn't want out of life growing up and I would say thank you to my mom I love you so much but more than than giving me love she gave me survival skills she taught me how no matter what no problems just Solutions so we always found a way to make it happen and living in all these neighborhoods and going through the system I just feel like the system was built to fail you instead of push you through but these aren't things too
(02:47) it's not to play victim is to play Victor this is what makes me Victorious this is what makes me who I am because you take all the negatives and you make them a positive so to me that's the biggest lessons that I learned growing up was just watching that hustle watching that struggle watching that sacrifice and feeling that sense of hopelessness that I never wanted to feel well I learned how to deal with it but I never wanted my kids to feel that I never wanted the ones that I love to feel that and I made
(03:15) a decision when I was about six years old so my decision was you know what I want in a life I want security stability and protection because the environment that I was living in it was just unpredictable at any given time Anything Could Happen Miss Martinez was the one that told me the biggest risk you take is not taking one if it wasn't for her I'd be dead or I'd be in prison and I always thought about that and it stays in my mind so anytime I feel a little iffy about something I just think about her take
(03:44) that risk man take that challenge it was so special to have somebody really say hey all I want from you is when you win an award one day just mention my name and say thinking because I believe in you one of my best friends was Dominican his name is Junior and one day we were on our way you know we're in the neighborhood and the neighborhood they used to fight dogs it's just it is what it is it's a part of the culture and we were on the way to a pit fight Junior turns to me he's like that's your name
(04:09) your name's Pitbull got a little ring to it I liked her yeah yeah and then as I did my research on pit bulls they're stereotype dogs as people feel that they're very aggressive but they're not they're a part of their environment if they're an aggressive environment they become aggressive dogs and I saw a fight in a pit when it bites it locks it doesn't let go it fights to the death for what it believes in so you apply that to the game you apply that to my life you apply it to everything that
(04:37) we've got going on that's basically what it's become and for life I feel that it's always a fight I don't understand the word loose I don't understand the word can't I don't understand the word fail I understand the word learn when you work so hard to get to a certain level you Google people right now I come up before the dog I always say it's the truth I'm the only legal pit bull in Dade County because they're all illegal and they had it and what I stand for is I mean I stand
(05:02) for the world but anywhere I go in the world I represent 305 day County Miami to the fullest if it wasn't for the city I wouldn't be who I am and that's what this pit fight for a lot of hustle love the grind love the fight why does it rejuvenate me because when you love it let's say when you do what you love you'll never work a day in your life and to me I love that I don't like things handy to me I like to earn it if you earn your keep it's fair for you to fight for it it's about showing up don't talk about
(05:30) it be about it and that's why when you hear me say take your life from a negative to a positive what's the story without ups and downs valleys Peaks losing you know you got to lose you got to slip you gotta fall everybody does they're not mistakes they're mistakes and you don't make mistakes mistakes make you so you gotta just take it on welcome it welcome it let it knock you on your ass you can knock me down but you won't knock me out nobody gets on a roller coaster that just go straight and Life's
(05:59) a roller coaster baby you wanted to go up and down and tell you the Twist and do all that because that's what makes it uh worth living failure is the mother of our success if you don't lose you don't appreciate a win that's like a box that says he's never been hit doesn't exist it's like a ball player that's never missed it doesn't exist but if you're able to Pivot always find a way to mutate modify then you'll be all right but how does that happen you gotta challenge yourself
(06:24) you got to take the risk the biggest risk you take is not taking them you got to be able to think out the box and go even though everybody's going right I gotta go left with this one if you're listening to your gut I've been raised off of a lot of motivation my mother when I was younger she would put Anthony Robin tapes you know in the car it's just always keeping me motivated and inspired so I've always looked for positive ways so I've done the same thing with music uh patience passion
(06:48) perseverance equal success working hard in the music game you got to give somebody a good product make sure they like it so the difference is my product you don't snort it you listen to it and being an entrepreneur is understanding that the word no it's a great word and no they taught me and oh means new opportunity I love rapping I love having a great time and telling the story story but what I like to do is show people growth maturity and evolution so a lot of people tell me like hey Chico how come you don't you don't rap for the
(07:13) streets no more I tell them it's real simple dog I rap to get out the streets not to stay in the streets even if you're in the streets can you imagine why would you want to push the same product everybody pushing now you gotta fight for territory now you got to fight for a spot now you gotta fight for a hole You Gotta Fight for a trap imagine if you come up with your own product nobody looking at what you're doing you got your own hole your own trap your own block you own everything now you create
(07:33) your own City your own world so if you got good karma then the law of attraction is Gonna Give You great Karma so if I think if you're a good person good business and work hard create that reputation the puzzle comes together in the law of attraction I believe it exists I'm constantly writing down my goals because I'm writing records good thing is that once a record goes it's basically like your goal is now out there in the universe and everybody's helping you on that goal listen yes the
(07:57) party records you're having fun you're enjoying but there's messages in here you go from either hearing a record to really listening to the record and then you start to connect the dots you got to Envision it you got to focus you to believe in it and you gotta get used to the word no the word no becomes yes [Music] Simplicity is the key to success so I'll round up that [Music] answers can and the word don't just do and the word won't is one and the word Impossible Is Possible and in the word
(08:24) impossible is impossible once you figure out you possible you can break through any barrier any border there's no limits and you live life how you want to live it instead of life living you my mother always told me nobody's dumb nobody's stupid it's just you gotta figure out how you learn it's almost like think of it as a garden you plant certainty some grow quicker than others some take a little longer some more little TLC than others but living in this Society of instant gratification I want you to
(08:52) understand this it's a marathon not a spring and more than anything at a young age understanding that it's not about the money my mother always said money is a passport allows you to come and go but it does not make you you work hard for the money so the money work hard for me money don't make you you make money make a difference take a risk that's how you really live out your dream but if you're worried about what everybody's talking about you forget about it then you're caught up in the noise
(09:17) I still got a Blackberry what does Blackberry allow me to focus on a family business that's all I need to focus on I don't care what they say about me or they don't because you'll never make everybody happy that's for sure I never got caught up with the fame I never got caught up with being in the club every night I don't even get caught up with social media and it doesn't allow the noise to come in when we were growing up they say believe none of what you're here and only half of what you see now
(09:38) it's believed none of what you hear and none of what you see so my biggest advice to you guys don't get caught up with the hype because everybody now they try to act like they live in a life that they're not they try to be somebody that they're not and I'm telling you because I deal with it it's a part of my industry a part of my business but it messes with me when it influences people that are trying to create something in their life so don't get caught up with that and that's why I would dislike for
(09:59) you guys to lose your life and time just staring at a screen all day worrying about what other people worrying about telling you again like dude like this boom boom boom next thing you know you're 30 years old I'm going what just happened bottom line Focus Envision set goals believe and not selfish but self first and what I mean myself first love yourself first help yourself first believe in yourself first then you can love others help others and others that believe in you but if you ain't in tune
(10:33) with yourself believe me you ain't fooling anybody but yourself right now we're living in a society that they actually believe that Perfection exists which by the way it doesn't and imperfection is what it is to be perfect and when you have a society that's driven by followers and likes forget about followers and likes you should hang around leaders and unique you gotta love yourself and then you believe in yourself and and you create things out of nothing you know from nothing to something every record that y'all seen
(10:59) that touched the world that I've been very blessed thank God for that thanks to the fans for that they told me well it's not going to be a hit they didn't believe in it all the executives like you're crazy this is never going to work every one that they thought was going to be a hit I threw it out the window because it didn't work so what do you got to do you gotta listen to your God you got to believe in yourself believe in yourself others believe in you you help yourself you can help others you
(11:17) love yourself you can love others it starts with you and I'm from a selfish standpoint but from believing in yourself standpoint and and being willing to fail to be the fun part that's the fun part when people are looking at you like you're crazy that means you're doing something right if you're worried about your credibility because you were never credible in the first place because you're worried about what other people think about you you gotta go for it and at first they're not gonna see it because to have vision
(11:43) is to understand everybody else is blind but when they do then everybody's on it there's a slogan that I live by which is there's no losing only learning no failure only opportunities and no problems only solutions so when you look at life like that anything that's put in your way you look at it like okay this happened for a reason for me to figure out another way to go and for me I've never really looked at anything as a low point because I literally I say it in the record of time of our lives with
(12:09) Neo every day above ground is a great day or if you could look at life like that then you can take it on be motivated and inspired and instead of expecting things you appreciate them so enjoy the ride live life don't let life live you and you got to live for the moment learn from the past live for the moment build for the future but you got to live for the moment that's what living is about when it gets easy it becomes boring and those tough challenges what you got to do is you got to meet them face on
(12:35) head on don't procrastinate don't leave something for them all that you can do today I'm telling you folks why dream when you can live it
