Production (Hands-off*): Mark Ronson & The Dap-kings – “God Put a Smile on Your Face”
What does it mean to be a Honey Badger? It means to just not give a fuck. Now, not giving a fuck does not mean that you don’t care about anything. Quite the contrary in fact. It means that you believe in yourself and your abilities to the point that you could give a fuck less about what other people think of you. Not even, you can’t give one fuck less because there’s none left to give!
If you are happy doing anything, be it wearing an article of clothing, listening to music, watching a movie, playing a random card game no one has ever heard of, then just do it. There are so many people on this earth that won’t do something simply because they think that they will be judged for it (I’m not talking about illegal or morally questionable shit here). The term “guilty pleasure” came about because of this; people know that what they like isn’t up to the societal standard, and so they’re almost embarrassed to mention that they have an interest in it. That attitude is ridiculous.
So be like the honey badger. Stop giving a fuck about what others do and what they think you should do, and live your life in the best way you can. You take those mother fucking snakes and eat them. Honey Badger don’t give a fuck.

Let’s go back. Back to those school days, not yet acquainted
with the haze.
Kind of awkward, Kind of fat, it was why I couldn’t talk to
girls; but I didn’t understand that.
I just chalked it up to the game. Girls go for assholes.
Nice guys are lame.
Wasn’t even my fault, I thought. Probably due to the cheap
clothes I bought.
I thought, just gotta go with the flow. Thought I didn’t
care, but I still gave a fuck though.
So I tried to stay with the trends, everyday uncomfortable
in my own skin.
That’s when I first realized. Most think they’re real, but
tell themselves lies.
You know those high school politics, trying to be popular
instead of finding where you fit.
What a bitch.
That’s how it goes, and that’s how it’s going to go
unfortunately. Most people tend to stay fake. You gotta be like a honey badger,
and not give a fuck about anything.
Well. I mean, when I say don’t give a fuck, it doesn’t mean
be apathetic.
Gotta keep a couple of fucks to give for work, for your fam,
for your health, and where you’re headed.
But that’s about it. Don’t let, not even one, person tell
you how to think. Or hold you up cause just like rose, they’ll promise you shit
and then let you sink.
So, just don’t give a fuck.
You’ll feel much better and with some luck your life will
improve cause you’re living for you, not living for what others think you
should do.
Just stop giving a fuck.
Giving out too many like a college slut. Take control of
what you can, and for what you can’t, be frank: Tell ‘em you don’t give a damn.
Yo, just don’t give a fuck if you feel like I felt, cause I
gave enough.
Can’t please everyone all of the time. So just do you, and
with time, you’ll find that if you don’t give a fuck, everyday you’ll feel so
free.
Just stay focused on what you love, and yes. You’ll get
through life with ease.
Gotta be like a honey badger man, eating snakes and shit.
Don’t give a fuck! Unfortunately there’s a few things in the way, preventing
people from not giving a fuck. So let’s see:
First things first: Most have it wrong, equating success
with the size of your purse.
Taught to be happy cause it could be worse. Man, it can
always be. Insert curse.
And from birth we’re taught that money equals happiness.
Can’t buy it, but it sure as hell helps kid. Many pursue, but never define it.
And that’s when there’s a huge disconnect. You look around
at all the money you’ve spent, all the things that you’ve bought: Got a nice
car, nice house, 3.5 kids, a partner who’s hot.
Then you think, is that all there is? Why do I feel so empty?
Try to fill this void with material possessions, and you’re
still not happy.
