    IT'S JUST CONTACT,

Transcript

It's just contact, gang. That's it. It's just contact. Stop going through life like you didn't used to do Oklahoma drills. It's just contact. That little work you need to knock out is just contact. That tough conversation you need to have is just contact. You used to run full speed into a guy that was twice your size and think nothing of it and now you're afraid to talk to a woman? I don't hear that bro, it's just contact. The problem is you got away from that guy who used to do those up downs. You got away from that guy that used to run sprints until tier threw up, but he's still in there. Fear ain't nothing but an indicator that you're still alive, dawg. It's just contact. Y'all boys have a good thirst.
