Motivation for me, is them telling me what I could not be    Oh well      I felt so inspired by what the teacher said   Said id either be dead or be a reefer head   Not sure if that’s how adults should speak to kids    Especially when the only thing I did was speak in class   Ill teach his ass   Even better what my uncle did    I popped my demo tape in start to beat my head   Peeked out my eye, see if he was beatin’ his   He might as well said beat it kid,    He’s on the list   It’s like im searching for kicks   Like a sneaker head   You gon’ keep pushing me til I reach the ledge   And when I reach the ledge, I tell em all to eat a dick    Take a leap of faith and let my eagle wings spread      (Chorus)   Motivation to me, is them telling me what I could not be, oh well   Im so ambitious, I might hit two sisters,    Hey im on a mission, no matter what the conditions    Fuck the personal issues, when u go what I been thru,    hey, if you believe it, then you can conceive it         Verse 2   Had to lace up my boots, even harder    Father is too far away to father   Further, more of the kids either    Smoke reefer or either move white    Theres few writers, in my cipher    So they made light of, my type of    Dreams seem dumb, they said wise up    How many guys are? You see making it from here    The world don’t like us, is that not clear, alright but   Im different I cant base what im gon’ be, off    of what everybody isn’t, they don’t listen   Just whispering behind my back, no vision,   Lack of ambition, So Wack!      (Chorus) Pharrell   Motivation to me, is them telling me what I could not be, oh well   Im so ambitious, I might hit two sisters,    Hey im on a mission, no matter what the conditions    Fuck the personal issues, when u go what I been thru,   hey, if you believe it, then you can conceive it      Verse 3    Had a couple of meetings, no office yet   Maybe I aint good enough for these offices   Back to the drawing board, ducking officers    Its all good cuz the streets, is A&R'ing this   So with or without any of your involvement    We coming for all of this, respect my conglomerate    I went from pauper to the president, cuz every deal I ever made said precedent    Niggas probably thought I'd fall without ol' buddy, oh buddy   What I do is make more money    Dear teacher, you probably somewhere speaker    Im balling out of control, can you hear my sneakers?   Fuck yall!!      (Chorus) Pharrell   Motivation to me, is them telling me what I could not be, oh well   Im so ambitious, I might hit two sisters,    Hey im on a mission, no matter what the conditions    Fuck the personal issues, when u go what I been thru,    hey, if you believe it, then you can conceive it
