Podium

[Verse 1: Black Cobain]

Mines is family over everything

And getting money is the song I sing

Churches with dirty pastors, my people pass the collection plate

He buy the Benz with acres of crazy real estate

That's motivation, my people living wicked

That's food for thought, you muthafuckas can do the dishes

And I got nieces who need me, they fathers ain't important

Instead of birth they should've contemplated abortion

I got a girlfriend, she like them Gucci shoes

She hold a nigga down, you deserve them boo

Rolling in Porsches, I see it, I need that Panamera

I'm going gorilla on niggas, I think I'm Che Guevara

I got Virginia, they with me, it ain't another realer

Don't fuck with chickens, them bitches will give you salmonella

This BOA, what's your motivation

I summed it up in a verse, my Kelly Rowland's waiting

[Chorus: Tone P]

I said patience, persistence, got the world listening

Bought my city's culture to the game, now in existence

What's you motivation, huh, what's your motivation

Not concerned with most rappers, me, I'm a king

Bars crazy, of course I'm living the dream

What's your motivation huh, What's your motivation huh

[Verse 2: Wale]

Motivated, no debate I'm a-fuckin-mazing

So fuck the speculation

Bitch I'm as cold as basements

See this what happens when you rap like you ain't no ones favorite

Though you know you the greatest the totem pole is just way up

And you down, hold it down for my nigga them

Lost my nigga last week, tears still lingering

Though it's strange, growing pains have a way of teaching us

Though I'm chasing dreams I don't ever care for sleeping much

Lacerate the swisher, gotta fill it with some killa

Got me feeling light-headed yeah nigga Philip Rivers

Weird niggas make me sick too, I don't need no pistol

'Cause everybody know all of my niggas with me skipped school

Classless niggas ask me if they give a fuck

They blast for me and I don't roll with no atheist

I give my lady love, I need my lady's love

You be with chickens like Smokey tripping off angel dust

Tony Lewis told me do it

Told me rep the city good and keep the board moving

I'm a good winner, I'm a sore loser

And I be getting to the point just like a short hooper

Earl Boykins, I'm hearing voices, I try and listen

Out in the district they selling water and buying pistols

I'm selling wisdom, just try and listen I'm tryna get you

I'm tryna make a couple million off my ambition

[Interlude: Rick Ross]

[Chorus: Tone P]

I said patience, persistence, got the world listening

Bought my city's culture to the game, now in existence

What's you motivation, huh, what's your motivation

Not concerned with most rappers, me, I'm a king

Bars crazy, of course I'm living the dream

What's your motivation huh, What's your motivation huh

[Bridge: Tre of UCB]

I hear the people talking

I know these haters watching

I know the souls and spirits with me, walking with me

They can't break my concentration

I know the road I'm taking

I know the moves I'm making

I am my inspiration

[Chorus: Tone P]

I said patience, persistence, got the world listening

Bought my city's culture to the game, now in existence

What's you motivation, huh, what's your motivation

Not concerned with most rappers, me, I'm a king

Bars crazy, of course I'm living the dream

What's your motivation huh, What's your motivation huh
