RZA Shares Bruce Lee-Inspired Single "Be Like Water"
RZA has released a new song titled “Be Like Water,” inspired by ESPN’s forthcoming 30 for 30 documentary about Bruce Lee, Be Water.
“Bruce Lee’s teachings extended beyond physical martial arts. He was full of philosophy and mindfulness,” RZA shared about the song. “His quote ‘Be Water my friend’ is profound and multi-tiered in definition. It inspires the idea that in adapting to life situations, sometimes we have to flow smoothly as a stream, while other times we have to crash like a tsunami.”
The title of both the song and the documentary is inspired by one of the renowned martial artist’s most famous quotes: “Don’t get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”
