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)
