Verse 1

It's like I'm tryna keep my head above water
But still drowning these haters
Everytime I do well I swear that they can't take it
Like they'd rather throw stones than to help appreciate it

Still I stand with my head held high
Kanye in the headphones like Ima touch the ski
See I do things in my own way
1st class while you're sitting in the hallway

These man are jokers but it's no game
I turn it up and leave them quiet like there's no gain
I hear man talking bout the fast life
Because of me they had to open up the fourth lane

Keep the sun I want more rain
And keep the same old ca I want more change
See I'm feeling myself and I just carry on while people watch, like I've got no shame

Hook

People want to put me down
They want to see me fall
But I keep standing up
Like I don't care at all

Cuz I'm done anticipating
And I'm through with all the waiting
I'm going to face every situation
And that's my motivation

Yeah, that's my motivation
Yeah, that's my motivation
Yeah, that's my motivation
Yeah, my motivation

Verse 2

I work hard everyday tryna reach my dreams
Motivated by people I see in magazines
Like one day one time
All it takes now is one track with one line

I often think about these guys I know who lost their life
I used to tell them I'll chill but another time
And now their time's up, see they were on their grind
They used to love the street cuz it was glamourised

I do it for the man that think they have to fight
And I do it for the mothers that are televised
I do it for these kids in the street that are picking up a blade ca they think that it's good to ride

God knows that could have been my life
And I thank him everyday that I'm still alive
It's not for the money or the fame
See the reason that I write in a way is cuz it's helps me fly

Hook

People want to put me down
They want to see me fall
But I keep standing up
Like I don't care at all

Cuz I'm done anticipating
And I'm through with all the waiting
I'm going to face every situation
And that's my motivation

Yeah, that's my motivation
Yeah, that's my motivation
Yeah, that's my motivation
Yeah, my motivation
