Life is kinda funny
Especially when I need some motivation other than making money
I'm running, and maybe it is true it's from nothing
But I'm the only person who can take my pride from me

The sun beams are a little bit too bright
Looking for the only woman who can make things right
I wanna wife just to love and to care for
Someone to say goodbye to at the airport

I'm in love with ideas of being love
And that's because every single day I wish was
It just seems like it's all I'm concerned with
'Cause I don't really think I have any other purpose

A long life is considered the main goal
But the doors to opportunity remain closed
With the same old same old trying to proclaim hope
Doing what you can while you're rocking all the same clothes

And if you drop your cigarette
All the ashes gone til they turn into silhouette
But don't live inside the shadow of your past
Gotta keep moving forward from the back of the pack saying

This is dedication. This is motivation
This is what it takes to achieve acclimation
Always making the most of deprivation
And never looking back with hesitation
This is dedication. This is motivation
This is what it takes to achieve acclimation
Always try my best through frustration
This is my calling, my vocation

I do this for the fuck of it I do it for the love of it
I do it for the fact that I cannot get enough of it
I do it and I did it since the day that I discovered it
Telling me to stop but I wasn't having none of it

Now these people wanna shake my hand
All because I took it different with my change of plans
And now I'm making fans
But it's funny to remember when I didn't wanna risk it or take a chance

I had to learn life isn't that long
So I put my dreams up when I write a rap song
And it's never about what could I achieve
Instead, it's about what should I believe

So when I put my thoughts down on paper
They're like ice cream with so many flavors
I lost hope, lost faith, lost time
But giving up? nah, never crossed my mind

This is dedication. This is motivation
This is what it takes to achieve acclimation
Always making the most of deprivation
And never looking back with hesitation
This is dedication. This is motivation
This is what it takes to achieve acclimation
Always try my best through frustration
This is my calling, my vocation
