Motivation - @AHumblefella

I am motivated by the teachers who tried to put me down,
Motivated by the fact that they could only see me as the class clown,
It is funny yet beautiful how I have managed to turn it round,
The kid who was dubbed a future failure who they saw as prison bound,
Is the same kid who now inspires and empowers the youth,
Giving them insights that the words of negative teachers are far from the truth,
Great ideas you never know when they’ll come to you,
Thats why this collabo with DTyler was written to motivate you,
That you have ability, talents that the world needs,
Using those gifts, changing the world should be part of your good deeds,
Because life with you, powers the life in me!!!
For the youth,
For the truth,
For the community,
For the person on their last legs of belief

Motivation - @dtyler1973

I am motivated by doubt
I refuse to breathe any doubt air
So I’m motivated to figure it out  
I see challenges in my life as opportunities to display
Not the boy I was yesterday but the man I am today
When I was younger I was quiet and they confused it as being weak
Not knowing that I was observing, training and plotting against deceit
By the time they realized what was happening I was already at my peak
Now I stand before them tall, strong and successful with a voice that speaks
Volumes, the kind kind that will drown any haters within reach

I am motivated by seeing anyone chase their dreams with passion
I’m motivated by the powerful words of my bro Asser
I am motivated by those who admit their flaws but take action
I believe in believing in self
I believe in internal wealth, the kind you spend emotionally
I believe in the power of the heart and the mind
Moving together like poetry in motion
Simple yet elegant....wow, what a notion
