Challenge the Motive

While sweeping up steps and knocking down cobwebs
I saw myself singing, singing before thousands
Everybody together, Jus chillin on one accord
Nobody flinched when I looked to the
sky and screamed out "Thank you Lord!"
They said I couldn't do it, for me, there's really nothing to it
Resilience and high power, as I serve this music
And I stay patient, waiting for change to come
Knowing damn well this system's been over 400 years well run
But I got ideas and high standards
Ducking and dodging lies and slander, but I gotta kill this cancer

Let's face it
Daddy ain't raise no basic
It's about my kids and my faith (Ignore my stubborn ways)
Notice I'm focused (Challenge the motive)
What's your reason
To break my concentration
It's about my kids and my faith (Ignore my stubborn ways)

Notice I'm focused (Challenge the motive)

When I reach deep and I get some, Jus a gut full of rocks
Trying to find peace within wisdom, with a head full of knots
I refuse to remain in your line of fire
Don't think I'll give you a second chance to singe my attire
I aspire to be great, Jus learning how to open up my inner gate
Jus focusing on more for my dinner
plate, more love for the pain we alleviate
My people are still yearning for new horizons
Fire in our souls still burning, now you feel these degrees rising

I'm here for the potential of love
With the mind of the protection of us

Let's face it
Daddy ain't raise no basic
It's about my kids and my faith (Ignore my stubborn ways)
Notice I'm focused (Challenge the motive)
What's your reason
To break my concentration
It's about my kids and my faith (Ignore my stubborn ways)
Notice I'm focused (Challenge the motive)
