motivational music to move with

lyrics

Sankofa:
When life builds a wall, you find a way to overcome that
Tunnel digger, helicopter ride, or a drum track
Elon Musk was too busy with some twitter beef
And the Huey Cobra was in the shop, I pick the beat
In my dreams I rise and recall what i have just dreamt
With enough ideas to fill the song plus ten
What then do we do when the world is conquered
Celebrate victory with the misery of a monster
Moving onward is easiest with a team to share the ride
An experience that no blue check mark can verify
Bear in mind minus X-ray specs
That today could end up being one of your best days yet
...Sometimes, even average is an improvement
Cause downswings are going to come, that’s the movement
I’ve had friends lay on tracks waiting for the train
But it didn’t, these are the thoughts are weighing on my brain

Hook:
This isn’t bootstraps, everybody’s got their own path
And hindsight is going to tell you that you should have known that it
But what’s the point of beating yourself up for what is done?
Take note, switch your approach for the next one

JON?DOE:
Great, here we go with another motivational
Early morning with the faded glow
Tony Robbins said the only problem is the foe u face in you
But fuck that freak and his big buck teeth
Life'll slide a trial up ya thick butt cheeks
And leave u crying in your filthy slut sheets
Yeah, what's a JON song without some dick nut speech?
Now I'm finna tell Biggie what's beef
Somewhere u made a decision to stop making decisions
Just let life happen that's fatalist livin, but maybe it isn't
What was u raised in a prison?
Nah, it's time to start takin back the days that u given
Instead of watching all ya hopes and dreams fade in the distance
You shouldn't have to settle for what Fagin has given
like it's a fable of Dickens', if u able then listen
Put a plan in motion and then stay with ya vision

JON?DOE:
Miserys the measure that we suffer at
U want advice? Quit puffing crack
Turn the other cheek? What the fuck is that?
When life tries to fuck u then u fuck her back
Be mindful of the pendulum, the burden of rebuttal
Is the hate that you give is only worsened with a cudgel
Burst another bubble, draw the curtains on ya troubles
Just lay the pain to rest and fill the dirt in with shovel

Sankofa:
Each person has a struggle that they’re trying to get through
Some need more armor on their hearts than the rest do
Others claim they’re fine and it’s nothing but a flesh wound
May steps not lead to lack of breath, when the mess swoons
I’ve seen tombs festooned with trinkets and wet bears
Memorabilia from a time when life was kept there
And there are going to be the times when life is less fair
But we find a way to do what we can, seeking fresh air
