Chorus All I need – is a little motivation (repeat) Verse 1 I wake up – smoke me a cig – let it begin Wipe the sleep from my eyes – try and find my grin I’m just trying to dig in – check my list – what to do Then I get sidetracked trying to tie my shoes See my guitar – sing the blues – man my chores can wait Grab me a plate – eat it quick – I can’t be late I got a million obstacles trying to block my path But I got my eyes on the prize – I’m gonna bust right passed I’m gonna break right through like the Kool-aid man And I’m gonna scream OH YEAH! like it was the plan I’m trying to keep my focus and do no harm I need a healthy dose of energy – a shot in the arm And I’m gonna shoot for the stars but it’s noon already The procrastination got me nowhere steady Just when I thought that I was ready to rap I decide I need some tacos and probably a nap Chorus All I need – is a little motivation (repeat) Verse 2 Motivate ’cause I’m grinding gears I got caught in a thought loop that lasted years Ruminate on defeat – let fear take over Swerving off the road even when I was sober And that wasn’t much – I hid my head in the sand Too scared to fail again to ever really take a stand The naysayers on the side wasn’t sh!t for help But the best kind of help is when you help yourself I woke up – set me some goals – started pushing Saved some money in the bank – Try to get me a cushion I live within my means – I ain’t borrowing sh!t I ain’t gotta over mortgage just to look like I’m rich I ain’t gotta spend before I have it I told you all before that’s the broke man’s anthem I’m living in the moment man I spend as I go With a guitar and a mic I can give you a show Chorus All I need – is a little motivation (repeat) Verse 3 Imagine for a second if all we did was motivate Took time to help each other – All the stains we’d wash away All that we could do – pep talk – prop ’em up Listen to what they’re saying – man give them your trust Stop the hate – the cynicism yo let’s trade it for love Words of encouragement – a positive shove If they feeling blue let’s give them a smile Might be exactly what they needed to finish their mile Might be exactly what I need because you get what you give And I gotta be reminded to let loose and live Take a look at the world – turn away from the screen That smile is contagious so let it be seen And let the laughter be heard – motivate to elevate We can climb the wall together fam I just can’t wait I just need to motivate myself to the light Make music – stay happy – and keep up the fight Chorus All I need – is a little motivation (repeat)

Verse 1 And once again it’s on – music kids how’s it going The 12 bar flowing freestyle for the showing I’m just another dreamer trying to hone my craft We gonna try and keep it positive so don’t act daft It’s a blast from the past or straight fast forward It’s really all a circle – what we trying to move toward? We spinning on a rock that’s flying through space Avoiding our destruction with amazing grace And how sweet is the sound when it’s coming out the speakers Maybe just enough to get you moving your sneakers Maybe just enough to set your mood off right And turn that frown upside down for the rest of the night And once again we on the edge in a sled – how you doing I’m feeling weighed down but I’m gonna keep it moving The weight of the world it kind of kinks my back But I feed on the drama so thanks for that I see my glass half full hell it’s filled to the brim Let me take another sip – come back with a grin I can guarantee if you hand me the mic That I’ve got something to spit and it’s gonna be tight I keep it right to the beat – I can read the room I can kill them softly or with a big boom I can rip it all night if the band has my back We got that beat going crazy like a heart attack And I’m gonna give them a shock – we just trying to change the channel In the eye of the storm – still rocking with my halo We hear the crowd ask for change – the chant is steady While those at the top think it’s fine already Those that fear change always ready to fight it While some just want a nap so they close their eyelids Me I want a place that I can call my own But I’ve always kind of felt like I was far from home To each his own microphone amplify what you thinking Fight the power from the shower or straight out the kitchen Give a listen speak your mind kick a beat play your part It’s easy catching magic when you come from the heart Verse 2 Let’s bring it back to the top – it’s a salesroom pitch Where it’s the truth no misogyny man life’s a b!tch And I always work hard – I ain’t jumping a class But I can grab that microphone and get up in that a$$ I picked it up – set it down – picked it up again Always trying to change lanes when I should dig in Always think I see the truth even when it’s a lie But I’m gonna keep it hip hop until the day that I die That’s a throwback from way back – you wouldn’t know it I’m gonna keep it real until the wind stops blowing I’m gonna keep it real until I meet my fate I can’t see it coming guess it’ll be a blind date Just wait when it happens I’ll hold my head high I prefer a conversation where I can see their eyes The mirror to the soul they reveal so much We all got a tell so keep it real don’t front People like me wear their heart on their sleeve Where it’s easily injured you best believe You can always tell the way that I feel From my walk from my talk from the whole damn spiel Nowhere to hide just survive everyday fight the demon Everyone is battling – they change by the season Maybe be give them space or give them a hand We all know life doesn’t go as it’s planned But that’s the beauty – never boring – Life will throw you a curve And I know we don’t always get what we deserve Sometimes we fall short – it was all in the cards But we gotta stay focused always on the guard And on the grind ’cause we know the work’s never done It’s why I never slow down – Keep my pace like a run Always trying to push the limit – call the stage my own And I’m starting to really feel like I’m right at home To each his own microphone amplify what you thinking Fight the power from the shower or straight out the kitchen Give a listen speak your mind kick a beat play your part It’s kinda easy catching magic when you come from the heart

Chorus It’s finally going my way The sun’s in the sky, it’s gonna be a good day I got a little time to breath The bills are getting paid at the end of the week Verse 1 I got a little breathing room – I take advantage Paid a couple bills – still got a bit of cabbage I’m far from living lavish – Ain’t got much to spare But I got like 20 bucks and it’s cash right there It burns a hole in my pocket – like it’s gotta get spent got another check coming ‘fore it’s time to pay rent So let’s get geared up – go grab a drink at the spot Live in the moment – feel the crowd – watch the people – it’s hot The faces tell a story – recognize the vibe Some are living the dream – and some are living a lie I see the struggle and pain – I see the laughter and cheers I see them celebrating victory with friends and beers Some are trying to get lost – others are trying to get found Me, I’m trying to get loose – clear my head – hear the sounds Let the ones hit the stage – who let the music set the tone Live life in the song – we left our trouble at home Chorus It’s finally going my way The sun’s in the sky, it’s gonna be a good day I got a little time to breath The bills are getting paid at the end of the week Verse 2 I found my spot – I kick a verse for the table Always down to tell a story – if you willing and able I’ve rose up from the ashes – I’ve struggled and fell I’ve gathered up my courage – and broke outta hell I’ve been given a lot – I’ve had it taken away I’ve squandered opportunity – I’ve made mistakes I’ve taken bad beats on guaranteed wins I’ve spoken to God – while I was living in sin From one end of the gamut – to the other I flew Probably wouldn’t understand without a mile in my shoes or maybe you would because you walked it longer Your feet to the flames – but you came out stronger Let me quit politicking and pick up my glass If they sounding really cynical I give ’em a pass Don’t want no static today – we didn’t come here to beef We just trying to have a drink – it’s the end of the week Chorus It’s finally going my way The sun’s in the sky, it’s gonna be a good day I got a little time to breath The bills are getting paid at the end of the week

Verse 1 I’ve grown up in a world that I don’t understand Don’t know what I’m doing ain’t got no plan I ain’t got no Stan – I ain’t got no idle I’m just another Dreamer that’s my only title I guess I got a name – might as well be mud Because everybody I know has seen me kicked in the nuts ‘course I’ve seen them take it too – we all really the same We all laughing and snickering when they revel in shame We all try and give support to the ones in pain When we truly empathize we have so much to gain But we all picking sides lining up to fight Every single subject is either left or right Can’t really tell what’s right – all we see are lies Fear has got us all in man an eye for an eye And shit we voting for it ’cause the blind lead the blind We all working for the man getting farther behind Chorus Can we get a little sympathy – just a little bit A little bit of empathy – just a little bit A little bit of understanding – just a little bit A little goes a long way – give just a little bit (repeat) Verse 2 Both sides are wrong – that’s the mantra of the centrist They say Left and Right man are always on the same shit They standing in the middle man they straddle the fence They trying to act like they’re smart when they nothing but dense See they ain’t doing nothing when they pushing that bullshit They act like they’re above all the problems that do exist And like no matter what nothing’s really their fault Even though they dead wrong man they never get caught If you can’t stand against locking children in cages What you falling for next? – This isn’t one for the ages One side wants genocide it’s a straight up health scare The other side wants to give everyone healthcare Even that just alone is like night and day How you looking at that shit and trying to see it both ways Y’all really want to sing a positive song But the middle of right and wrong is still wrong Chorus Can we get a little sympathy – just a little bit A little bit of empathy – just a little bit A little bit of understanding – just a little bit A little goes a long way – give just a little bit (repeat) Verse 3 Sometimes I get this feeling like I wanna reach out And give everyone a hug – show them what it’s about But looking at the landscape – it’s gotten really dark Even small disagreements got us going for the heart I know it gets dark before we see the light But the collateral damage is too much, it’s not right The whole damn thing is rich vs poor Most don’t understand that we are even at war So many choosing wrong – shoot themselves in the foot Or embrace apathy and turn themselves to a crook Man these people will steal from a stranger in a second and never get caught – it ain’t on their record No one tells the truth – they all polishing turds They all calling them diamonds – man the shit is absurd If you say something about it man you look like a dick But I’m filled to the brim man and sick of the shit Chorus Can we get a little sympathy – just a little bit A little bit of empathy – just a little bit A little bit of understanding – just a little bit A little goes a long way – give just a little bit (repeat)

Chorus You’ve got a choice – live or die Of course life’s hard that’s why we get high Wipe the tears from your face and get back in the race Don’t procrastinate son there’s no time to waste (repeat) Verse 1 No time to waste – can’t smoke all day long Sitting on the couch always listen to the same song Same ganj – got you smoking the same bong Think you and your homie are Cheech and Tommy Chong But you dead wrong – you used to write dope songs Now you haven’t had a good idea in so long Say so long to your creativity Say so long to your dope abilities Say so long to energy – you’re not mobile Throw them dreams out you had when you was a child But now you wild – making money – shooting dice Macking trailer trash hoes this is the life Arguing – say why you call me lazy Have you ever seen me party – I will call you crazy Staying out – ’till like 5 in the morning I’ll be full of energy when everyone is yawning Everyone is falling out – so let me collect my clout Yo ‘Cause I ain’t passing out And I’m not acting out ’cause of past occurrences Only self reflect to give yourself assurances Chorus You’ve got a choice – live or die Of course life’s hard that’s why we get high Wipe the tears from your face and get back in the race Don’t procrastinate son there’s no time to waste (repeat) Verse 2 Wasting time – sitting around writing rhymes Making a nickel – dreaming about making dimes I package rhymes – my thoughts over melodies I could talk that talk – I’ve got some petty felonies On my record – yet there’s no gangster talk on my record Even though my past is kinda checkered You won’t hear me bragging son – ‘Cause I’m passed it I took two big hits and then I passed it Off to the left ’cause that’s a hard road to follow Most of us walk it ’cause our hearts become hollow I lost a friend – For me it was a travesty Dying by your own hand man that’s a tragedy But my wealth is my knowledge no doubt Ain’t got much money but that’s not what I’m about I know my wealth is in rhymes untold And inside my head there’s a pot of gold Chorus You’ve got a choice – live or die Of course life’s hard that’s why we get high Wipe the tears from your face and get back in the race Don’t procrastinate son there’s no time to waste (repeat)

Verse 1 Don’t think this is a joke son – I’m playing for keeps I pulled my head from the clouds – I got my ear to the street I’m aged like fine wine – I always hit the spot I think I found me a party people I’m ready to rock I got a million ideas I see them come and they go Worlds a stage I’m a dreamer in a traveling show And I’ll perform for everyone get a glimpse of the beast I’m trying to get a little money and something to eat I gotta find my place – stuck in the land of the lost Where I’m fighting to survive it don’t matter the cost It’s the American dream we all be chasing the riches They got us dreaming about the lotto when we washing the dishes They Shoveling shit and we grin and we bare it But I ain’t taking shit from the local Karen I ain’t got time for the blow for blow I gotta hit it quick and bounce baby that’s how it goes Chorus That’s how it goes – That’s how it goes (repeat) Verse 2 I dreamt I made a difference – and then I woke up got a tightness in my chest – it’s about to erupt They keep collecting they taxes – I’m a rat in a cage I’m trying to claw my way up from minimum wage ain’t got no money for us – ain’t trying to give to the poor no socialism for you – but they got money for war they say it trickles down – all we do is wait unemployment is high – the stock market’s doing great Like it matters – cause we ain’t got shit to invest I’m trying to pay my car note and buy a bulletproof vest best interests in my mind – nobody watching my 6 I’m a Dreamer on a mission for a microphone fix That’s how I get my kicks – I tried to walk away But I can’t lay it down ’till my dying day Because I got what it takes to keep them kids on they toes I’m gonna keep it 16 ’cause that’s how it goes Chorus That’s how it goes – That’s how it goes (repeat)

Lost in space too stoned to win the race Danger all around better know your place I’m rolling down the road with a mic in my hand Trying to keep myself sane at least that’s the plan It’s looking bleak but it’s always really dark before the dawn There’s light at the end of the tunnel so hold on We riding this beast until the wheels fall off And we make our last stand against the final boss It’s written on the subway walls – the bathroom stalls Graffiti on the street and the high school halls That I’m the emcee who plays guitars And hangs out with hippies who dream of being stars Jeremiah – pumped up like car tires Sick of the shit man the worlds on fire I wish that I could do a little more to help But money equals power I ain’t got no wealth All I got is a voice and I try to speak well We try and make it better only time will tell I really think we all in the fight of our lives Yet some of y’all morons can’t pick a side tHeY bOtH sO bAd wHaT iM sUpPoSeD tO sAy? One side’s got the Nazis and the KKK If that don’t give you a clue that they’re bad It’s already too late for your old dumba$$ I speak the truth better wear bulletproof So many guns we’ve got ’em stack to the roof They that it’s supposed to keep all of us more safe Then they shoot you in the street man just in case You know what they say? They say they thought you had a gun Even if your back’s turned and you on the run Even if your hands in the air you doing nothing They really just think we all guilty of something It’s really amplified if your skin ain’t white Never understood it man your sh!t ain’t right How you judge a person by the color of their skin And never even take a moment to look within Because you racist – White people got a problem You don’t want to talk about it but we f#cking gotta You guys have brought the f#cking Nazis back We got children locked in cages at the border it’s wack You vote the same way as the KKK Spouting racist talking points man the whole damn way You vote with the racists every single election But you won’t admit it – it’s all misdirection You ain’t got the spine to admit who you are You try and justify it while you sit at the bar i cAn’T bE a rAcisT mAn i gOt A bLaCk fRiEnD Dude he knows you can’t be trusted – give it up – it’s the end This Trump bullsh!t has exposed the truth Your Facebook feed f#cking holds the proof You don’t give a f#ck who lives or dies If it don’t directly affect your life There’s more Trump supporters in my family than not Going around these f#cking people is a straight brain-rot Everything that’s wrong man – they voted for it What I’m supposed to act like we ain’t at war man? What I’m supposed to act like you’ve got a soul? You don’t give a f#ck – there’s a gaping hole Where your heart should be – you’ve been given so much You think you’ve earned every dime cuz you’re out of touch It’s the epitome of white f#cking privilege To vote for the racist – and say yo I ain’t racist To do racist things and say bUt iM nOt rAciSt iM nOt rAcisT bUt bLaH BlaH bLaH – dude you’re racist I been around that sh!t man – my whole f#cking life It’s a white people problem – it’s us – it’s the whites We ain’t empathizing with it man – we causing the problem It’s the way that you vote and the people around you There’s specific laws that target certain races In every city, every county, every state in our nation And they get a little harsher if you son’t vote blue The racists voting red fAm – what about you? I know for me I’m gonna stand in opposition of the Nazis Got too many family members sounding like they Chachi Being not racist in this climate’s not enough I’m anti-racist #AntifaAsFuck Take it how you will but if we down and out We ain’t on the same side man I know what you about You people can’t begin to value human life Your whole party turned into the f#cking Alt-Right It’s written on the subway walls – the bathroom stalls Graffiti on the street and the high school halls That we’re sick of your sh!t so it’s time to fight It’s been dark for a minute but we bringing the light
