[Verse 1: Jeff Martin]
Back when she was three
Her mama told her baby she'd never be on TV
Looked her straight in the face
Told her that she would make
Always believed in her
But never thought she'd be famous
Now she's all over the news
Tearin' up the arenas
And when she gets the floor, she always says what she's thinkin'
But never relies on 'em
Success is the only reason
She comes to this f**in' field
The field in which she dreamed in
But every single day, she's puttin' in all the work
Fumblin' to the ground
Sweatin' all down her shirt
Repetition for days
Never said it was easy
But if you love it enough you'll eat it like Reece's Pieces
And when she thought it as done
The light was just clear as day
Takin' her on her way
Leadin' her to the place
The places which we all know
The places which we call home
But think of it as a joke
There's places where we can go
[Hook: Jeff Martin]
And motivation is basically what my genre's for
And if they told me to keep my feet on the solid floor
I think I'd tell 'em that planes were just meant to f**in' soar
And that I'm takin' off, see you on the other shore
Took a little time but I've been waitin' in patience
Prayin' for sold out shows and tourin' across the nation
People just treat me like I'm a typical decoration
Tellin' me where to stop but there ain't no limitations
[Verse 2: Jeff Martin]
Yeah, Johnny was eighteen
When he discovered the thing that he wanted to be
Stood up in cla** and stepped on the top of his seat
Screamed to his teacher that all he wanted to be was free
Now all he thinks about: music, pa**ion, the love and hope
Tryna' live his dream but really findin' it hard to cope
Half the people tellin' him that he was just a f**in' joke
Started hatin' rap so he drank 'em to sleep and snorted coke
"Damn, I didn't want none of this"
And he never intended that he would barely exist
Came to his senses, now he's basically a Rap Genius
Minus the fame, fortune, everything that money can get
'Cause Johnny's doin' what he loves
He's happy in his skin
And he's livin' life epic to it's fullest extent
And he loves his family to d**h
And his family loves him too
But he still remembers everything that he's been through
