[DOWNBEAT MUSIC] [CROWD CHATTERING] - He's better, privileged. Come on. Where you guys are, everybody gonna be trying to give 100. So you've got to go 120, right? When I tell you motivation is life, when I tell you that, the next 100 days, I need you to stay plugged in. Because the days you're not plugged in are the days you don't get 120. They say an alligator is so ferocious it can kill a lion. But I can kill it. I can kill an alligator with my bare hands. Little old ET? How? They say when you want to kill an alligator, you kill it right after it eats. Because right after it eats, he gets satisfied, and it goes to a state like it's almost paralyzed. Some of y'all in this room, are you paralyzed? You had a little success? You've done what nobody else in your family has done, and now you chilling? Come on, you ain't hungry no more? Next hunting, I need you to stay focused. Why? You should still be hungry. What have you eaten that's got you satisfied? What have you done? What have you accomplished that got you so full? I'm a contender, but the next hundred going to change my life. It's going to change this world. We're ordinary people doing extraordinary things. If that's you and you're feeling me, just say, "I can." AUDIENCE: "I can." - Come on, come on. "I can." AUDIENCE: I can. - I can. Come on. One more time. AUDIENCE: I can. - Yep, I will. AUDIENCE: I will. - Yep, I must. AUDIENCE: I must. - All right. All right. Come on. Come on. I'm going to put some context into it. I want to put some context. They sent my mother-in-law home 8 years ago. The cancer metastasized throughout our whole body. They were like, it ain't nothing we can do for you. Go home and spend time with your family. And people was like, yep, that's it for her. She says, it's not it for me. And they said, what do you mean, it's not over for you? The doctor said-- she don't care nothing about a doctor. I got to see my grandson graduate from high school. He's a junior now at Michigan State University. She said, I've got to see my granddaughter graduate and my only two grandkids. I've got to see my granddaughter graduate from high school, and she graduates in June. She said, after that, I might die. But up until then, I ain't going nowhere. Are you hearing what I'm telling you? And what we said to each other is, I can get through this. I will get through this. I must get through this. So I just need you to think about three people in your family that you love-- three people. Three people that you love, three people. You got them? They're there? You got them? This is what I need you to do for me. Because some of you have a hard time staying motivated for a straight 100 days. So what I need you to do for me is I need you to think about those people every day when you're doing what you're doing. Do you have some days where you just want to hit the snooze button? Raise your hand for me. You want to hit the snooze button, right? So watch this. This is what has to happen. That person that you think about has to be louder than the snooze button. So when you think about granny, you've got to think about, do I hit the snooze button, or do I get up and make it happen for granted? Are you hearing what I'm saying? Who are you doing this for? So the days you don't feel like getting up, just think about them. Somebody tell me in this room, when you think about your siblings, when you think about mom and dad and grandma, when you think about your uncle and aunts, when you think about those coaches, those people who've been there for you, just raise your hand if you said, ET, sleep is better than that! Raise your hand and tell me anybody in the room. Sleep is better than them, E! Raise your hand. Somebody tell me, ET, you don't get it. You don't know how hard it is, E! I probably don't. I just lived in abandoned buildings, ate out of trash cans. I probably don't. Maybe I ain't never been through what you been through, but I've been through my go-through. And you don't-- you don't-- you don't get here by quitting when you're tired. You get here by quitting when you finish, when you're done. You don't stop when you're tired. You stop when you're done. You stop when you complete it, when you execute it. Execution is worship. And so I execute for my mom. I execute for my grandma. I execute for my sister. I execute for those kids in the hood who are looking for a role model. That's why I wear the hat with a PhD. That's why I wear the J's-- so when the kids in the hood look at me, they say, if you too can do it, I can do it. That's why I can't quit and give up, even though I get tired just like everybody else. Why? Because this is what I do. This is my leg. This is your leg. You gotta murder it. So when I ask you, you got energy? Don't play with me. Well, when I say again, you got that energy for the next 100 days? I need to feel your soul in this room. All right, I can! AUDIENCE: I can. - Come on. I can! AUDIENCE: I can! - Come on. I can! AUDIENCE: I can! - I will! AUDIENCE: I will! - I must! AUDIENCE: I must! - Come on. I can! AUDIENCE: I can! - I will! AUDIENCE: I will! - I must. AUDIENCE: I must! - Come one, give yourself some energy. Come on, give yourself some energy. We wish you the best. We love you. Do you want it? Let's get it done.
