Motivation Lyrics

[Verse: Chill Rob G]
My rhymes as I kick them leave you victim to the beat
I'm advancin', people dancin' in the street
To my drum, more wise words from the Chill one
You felt the effect in the past and you're still numb
Leavin' you bugs in the dust is a must for me
Silly you clowns gather 'round and discuss the G
Wonderin' which move I might make next
I'm stackin' my rhymes so I climb to the apex
Why should I wait for a date with destiny?
I'll pick the time, the place that's best for me
Don't bother tryin' to block or hold me back
Advancement is my mind's only track
I'm an aristocrat, a ghetto diplomat
And I'm blessed with a gift for rap
So I'm shootin' my mouth off 'cause suckers are shootable
Flauntin' my flesh 'cause I'm black and it's beautiful
Many have fallen from bein' too careless
It pays to raise your cultural awareness
Know who you are, where you're goin' and where you came from
Breakin' your neck for respect, man, that's plain dumb
Respect is somethin' you gain by bein' yourself
Otherwise we're respectin' somebody else
The person you wanna be, not who you really are
Yo, can you follow me or did I just go too far?
I don't wanna confuse y'all, so just get on board
And walk this way, 'cause I'm movin' forward
Advancin', swift is how I move
Before I grip the mic I calm my mood
Let me activate, I'm an activist
You wanna rap? Develop an knack for this
Learn to use your head, got to be more careful
Be doin' nuthin' stupid 'cause somebody dared you
I'm an earful, an eyeful, an arrival
Givin' you back what you lack for survival
Into rappin', it just so happens that I'm a black man
Rob is chill, got skill and I pack jams
Rhymes I wrote I devote to promote pride
People can quote what I spoke 'cause I don't lie
My records do not slip, skip and they won't slide
This jam was made by the King and I
Mark's remarkable, bass shakes the floor board
The whole place vibrates while I'm movin' forward
Out of my way, you seen me comin'
Drop from the sky and I hit the ground runnin'
No confusion or complication
The name is still Chill Rob and this groove is Motivation
