Everyday when I wake up
I'm glad as fuck
That I'm blessed with a gift
And I've had the luck to
Express
Progress
Putting in the effort to get out of the mess
I just work at it
Now i've been given the chance
To sing and dance
And get paid on stage
To just be filled with rage
But thanks to discovering this hihopart
I've broken out of the cage
I, just need a time to see
How to be at ease with me
But now i work hard everyday
And I do it easily
I stay motivated
To stay creative
And the days instigated me
To stay dedicated, and i made it
(Yep)
I'm stuck to it
Wouldn't budge for a fuck to it
And when I said just screw it
They said
Don't do it Philly
Stick to your school
Or your job, you're a fool
If your future get robbed by this pipe dream
But to me it's hype dream
It don't pay the bills
But it keeps me clean! (shit.)
I, stay motivated...
Five o clock in the mornin', yawnin'
Eyes all burning and I'll take it as a warning
To go asleep,
But I'm way to deep sunk in my own thoughts
And I'm drunk
Did a phat gig and I blew up the stage
Came home to open up my rhymebook on it's last page
Where I left it
Still writin' despite the fact
That my senses tell me not to
You know I got to
When I'm most creative
During the night and I'm motivated
To do it despite
The fact nobody wants to share the pie
Play fair, look you in the eye
With a glare when they lie
Hotdamn!
Every drop of energy
Within me, the man, goes in the masterplan
Whenever it can, more clever than most
Eyes on the prize
Cuz it feel so close
I'm motivated!
I...
Take my rhymebook,
My phone and my keys,
Jump on the train,
Open my agenda
Lets see,
Got a call such as such 'bout so and so
Got to send this dude the demo
Put my man on the promo
Need my expenses compensated,
So the call i made it
Got to put 'em on hold though
Got a second call
(Uhuh uhuh)
Well no problem at all
I'll see him in a minute and the i'm right on my way
Got the new EP with me and he'll get it today
Arrived where I needed to be
Arrived where I bleed it to be
The man who saw the
Hunger that he needed to see
Connected, Unexpected the venture round three
Up in Amsterdam quarter to three
Perquisite what is it
[Perquisite]
Yo, you're late for your visit again
But never mind yo
Come in my friend!
I stay motivated... (8x)
