[Intro] [spoken word over a soft beat, no melody yet, close-miked] Life is hard I'm a father of two kids I live the inner city life, the inner city pressure [Verse 1] [rap delivery, mid-tempo, grounded and tired-confident] Life is hard I'm a father of two kids I live the inner city life, the inner city pressure And I'm trying to launch a project in between family duties and work duties And I'm struggling So I'm talking to my friend Narcis to get some motivation [Chorus] [bigger, hook lands, vocal stacks underneath] Some motivation Some motivation I'm talking to my friend to get some motivation Some motivation [Verse 2] [rap, same delivery, a little more lift] The city don't sleep, neither do I Kids on my back, dreams on my mind Between the work and the love and the late-night drive I'm not quitting, I'm just looking for a sign So I called my friend, said tell me one true thing He said brother you're already in it, just keep showing up [Chorus] Some motivation Some motivation I'm talking to my friend to get some motivation Some motivation [Instrumental Break] [drums roll, beat strips to a vocal chop of the title hook, then full beat returns] [Verse 3] [rap, more confidence, the climb is visible] Father first, then a man with a plan The project ain't dead, it's just slow as it stands Every brick I lay is for the people I love Every brick I lay is a kind of prayer [Final Chorus] [stacked vocals, biggest energy] Some motivation Some motivation I'm talking to my friend to get some motivation Some motivation [Outro] [strip back to a single voice over the beat tail] Some motivation [long beat tail, fade]
