[Verse 1]
Fresh up off that plane, touch down in my city
Flew around the world with this bird on my fitty
Next stop is the hood, tell 'em bring them grills out
Go'n and put them nets up, tell 'em bring the kids out
I'm not the rapper, this is what I live 'bout
You hear me spit that on a record, that is what I live 'bout
No acting, this is what that real 'bout
They say they want that real back, it's time to bring that real out
Man my hood they proud of me
They see me on my grind, they could be looking down on me
At a gravesite, all them days I'm cooking up that hard white
Could be in that peniten' walking out that yard life
Man I done rolled for this block
Put in work for many years and shed tears for this block
Now I pull up in the hood, boy it's like a celebration
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
[Hook]
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
[Verse 2]
Lord forgive your boy, I know I was a hard head
Running 'round smoking game from them old 'heads
They tried to mold your boy on how to get that old bread
And how to stay alive 'cause my whole zone red
A couple homies, yeah they gone dead
A couple of 'em gone to the feds
I still hear them words that Tank said
When I lay it down at night, I hear it echo in my head
He said "cuz, go and get it
And when you go and get it, some gon' hate to see you winning"
Wish he was here now so I can tell him that I did it
Wish he was in them crowds when I holler out "LET'S GET IT!!"
Boy I done rolled for this block
Let everybody tell that I would die on this block
But now I'm hopping on a plane to another destination
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
[Hook]
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
[Verse 3]
Come out boys on the block, yeah the hood hot
All day they ridin' around in the same blocks
Got a call that said that lil' homie got shot
Them boys hit him and they left him on the same spot
Them boys out there tryna duck the cops
Same time they tryna duck the shots
Same time they tryna hug the block
A lot of us don't make it, but look at your boy, I made it OUT
And it's by grace that I changed
That grace stopped your boy in my tracks when it came
Like a red light, now I'm focused and I got my head right
Now I'm on they brains all day just like some head lice
I used to tear down my block
Now I'm focused and my plan is to rebuild my block
Got my dawgs thinking on a whole 'nother situation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
[Hook]
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
My hood love me, they say that I'm they motivation
I'm they motivation, I'm they motivation
Turned up ...
