Yeah you rockin' with the Midwest
So you know we did it best
South Dakota on my back
Locked and loaded on this track
Stop for no one peddles pressed
I'm the type to never rest
I don't even want the plaques
I just want the recognition
Climbin' like Mount Everest
Except my feet are never switchin'
Stickin' to my roots that only God has given
Following the rules that only I have written
Down the wrong road, I have driven
Made some deeply wrong decisions
God forgive us, I been distant
I have messed up, I'm repenting
I regret it, learned my lesson
Taught me wisdom I'd been missin'
Now I know what my purpose is
To make music with a passion
It's a dream I'm chasing after
While working, mixed with classes
But sure enough I'll catch it
Cuz
I got motivation, I got motivation
And no one's gonna take it
Don't want a vacation
I want a life I don't have to escape from
I got motivation, I got motivation
I know I'm gonna make it
I got an obligation
I wanna be the greatest
I got the motivation, I got motivation
Don't care about the haters
Hate me 'cuz you ain't me
It just makes me motivated
I never go to sleep 'cuz I'm living in my dreams
How does that work, lemme tell you what I mean
Ever since I was a tween
Felt like Martin Luther King
Cuz you know I had a dream
I had the right to chase it
Started writing rhymes in my basement
A notebook used for english
I jotted notes and scribbled verses
Wrote without a beat at first
I wrote about what made me hurt
I did this 'til October third 2019
That's when I ordered the mic
I was only 19, found some beats that I liked
And I started writing, adrenaline it was spiked
Was no longer sight seeing, I was painting the pictures
My story, my life, all written in scripture
Gave me more motivation
I got motivation
And no one's gonna take it
Don't want a vacation
I want a life I don't have to escape from
I got motivation, I got motivation
I know I'm gonna make it
I got an obligation
I wanna be the greatest
I got the motivation, I got motivation
Don't care about the haters
Hate me 'cuz you ain't me
It just makes me motivated
Always been different than the people around me
Dyed hair and ears pierced, people were clowning me
Farmers and country kids, the people surrounding me
I was special, I knew I was different, but in spite of that
Embraced myself for who I was, I never lost sight of that
Now I got this music buzz, I think I am right on track
I gotta thank God for putting me in this position
For giving me the confidence, the will, determination
And of course the motivation
I'm motivated
I got motivation, I got motivation
And no one's gonna take it
Don't want a vacation
I want a life I don't have to escape from
I got motivation, I got motivation
I know I'm gonna make it
I got an obligation
I wanna be the greatest
I got the motivation, I got motivation
Don't care about the haters
Hate me 'cuz you ain't me
It just makes me motivated
It makes me motivated
It makes me feel driven
If I see something I want
Then I swear I go and get it
If you see something you want
Then just go and get it
Nothing left here to exhaust
That's the end of sentence
Period
I don't care what anybody says
You can do anything you set your mind to man
You just gotta stay focused
And drown out all that negative energy
Keep your head up, and persevere
That is how legends are made
