B-Real - Motivation lyrics

B-Real When options are few, and opportunities fewer They treat you like manure so you feel you got no future You feel left out and overlooked Now its the same story with a different book They said I'd never make it hey, but they were sadly mistaken I tried to use the hatred to rake in the dough that I'm making I never look back, but I can feel their envy upon me I'm an outsider but I ain't gonna do it for money Imma do it for my family and for those who believe Not these fake cats who come along when goals are achieved When you got nothing they gone, they turn off their ringer But when you're on top they'll be here at the snap of a finger I wish it was different but that's only wishful thinking It takes all you got to go after the sh** that you dreamin' And if you let them get in your way, you got no one to blame They treat you like a lame and they don't even see you the same [Chorus] What are you searching for? What do you need in life? Whatchu willing to do to succeed in life? Whats your destination? Whats your motivation? What you celebratin'? All your time is wasted We have ambitions to makin' something out of nothing from dark places The streets embrace us you can tell by the look on the faces Been through it all so don't ever think that you can get over Hit me with your best 'cause I'm sportin' the heart of a soldier Some say a rebel, a trouble-maker,a bad example Who's head ain't level. they wanna see my hood show cancelled They can change the channel, they just gimme ammo They gettin' nervous I can see them smoking the camels I fought more battles when the loser keep movin' to prosper f** a Grammy, maybe one day I'm winning an Oscar You can hate me after let you hear the laughter Its just another chapter you can feel it in my stature I'm tryn'a feed my fam, and give them something different So they dont ever have to put on my shoes and relive it They asked me how I did it, I say ignore your critics And pay your dues, and to your dreams you have to be commited [Chorus] What are you searching for? What do you need in life? Whatchu willing to do to succeed in life? Whats your destination? Whats your motivation? What you celebratin'? All your time is wasted LIFE is a game that we haven't got mastered And no matter whos playing you just have pick up the action And we taking the chances every single day that it pa**es Talkin to the ma**es doesn't make a difference to We in it together if we look beyond our colors We only tryn'a feed our family and take care of our mothers But we k** each other for nothing then society wonders How they can keep us down forever being fair to our brothers This ain't no way to live, we' lookin' for a change in the system We got a ways to go, but they just gotta stay on the mission Its a struggle and you feel you're in the eye of the storm But if you make it through, there's no stop in the path that you're on Chorus
