Motivate
It's time to separate the real from the fake
Those who want to build
Versus those who wanna destroy
If you wanna build, come to Detrilla
You might be from the gutter
Might be from the sewer
But you can make it, nigga
Nun to it but to do it
Motivate yo niggas
Let 'em know that they can do it
No hesitation, nigga
Gotta go and get to it
The crab in a barrel gotta quit, dude
Hating fellow black men ain't the shit, dude
Went from civil rights to what we done come to
Niggas only fight when the opps look like you
The fuck is we doin?
Is we ruined?
By the image that's been pushed by the media influence?
You and I are one
But we hate each others' melanin
Played into doing the dirty work of the klansmen
Make it make sense if you can
Some of y'all like racist Whites wit' a tan
You ain't hard, muhfucka, you just got a gun
Let's see you squash your issue without using one
Let's see you talk it out
Conflict resolution
Or either walk away to prevent a shootin'
I'm bringing you the shit that they fear
Blacks loving each other instead of killing off our peers
You wonder why I walk like this
Why I talk like this
Why I just can't miss, huh?
Why I'm like Curry servin' up the hits, huh?
Put 'em on the stove
Cook em like some grits, huh?
You might be from the gutter
Might be from the sewer
But you can make it, nigga
Nun to it but to do it
Motivate yo niggas
Let 'em know that they can do it
No hesitation, nigga
Gotta go and get to it
Elevate your motivation
Rise up a melanated nation
World innovation
Put mind to da grind
I love it when it shine
Always ahead of time
Mansa Musa shit
It's all mine
No Black crime in sight
Hear the plight
Dogs fight
Rep Tuskegee to Muskegon
Speak greasily
Amongst the measly
I walk freely
'Cause bleached baboons
Catch attitudes
Rude boy keep a crude toy
Just-a to kill Joy
Money minting from da Murder Mitten
Get a hit list and da 'ticians go missin'
Shhit
The Syndicate never kiddin'
'Bout a mercy killin'
You might be from the gutter
Might be from the sewer
But you can make it, nigga
Nun to it but to do it
Motivate yo niggas
Let 'em know that they can do it
No hesitation, nigga
Gotta go and get to it
You might be from the gutter
Might be from the sewer
But you can make it, nigga
Nun to it but to do it
My great granddad said
We gotta help one another out
When you get on yo feet
You help the next ones coming up to get on they feet
You drop the ladder down
You don't pull the ladder up
Free words of wisdom
Those who want to build
Versus those who wanna destroy
If you wanna build, come to Detrilla
You might be from the gutter
Might be from the sewer
But you can make it, nigga
Nun to it but to do it
Motivate yo niggas
Let 'em know that they can do it
No hesitation, nigga
Gotta go and get to it
The crab in a barrel gotta quit, dude
Hating fellow black men ain't the shit, dude
