Lyrics
This is to motivate myself
Get up and go someplace else (every day, every minute)
And never get accustomed… to anything
I need to push myself a bit harder and toughen up
Pep talks in the mirror of my mind
As I try not to limit myself, I was told it’s hard enough
Other people do that for you, one thing you learn over time
Papa dropped jewels on the baby boy
Don’t play it too cool kid, there’s no excuse for not trying
And school was hard on him and made a point
I was not going to be one of those who gave up without fighting
And now I flick through my phone photos
Of my little family, never am I alone
Feel like the strongest man alive, brothers on my left and right
Nothing really matters but us being at our best tonight
Can’t help but crack a smile, we do ok
'Cause if it’s way worse, outran the rainy days
Until they’re catching up, thank you for every minute
We shared as one together, nobody else’s business
(Every day, every minute)
This is to motivate myself (every day)
Get up and go someplace else (every day, every minute)
And never get accustomed… to anything
Any minute now the cab come picking me up
So wish me luck, give me a kiss and a hug
That’s my fuel, the motivation I depend on
And every single second
Headphones on, is it morning or still night
Don’t know; I close my eyes, dream of old times
All my old heroes and past role models
Young boys with a lot of local idols
Carefree, naive kids with no fear
But without all of that I’m pretty sure we wouldn’t be here
Traveling the world, touching ground on new turf
Time to go, gear up and get yo stuff
Cause any minute now, Perry come picking us up
Wishing us good luck and we all hug
Embee goes on and when the intro plays
Get that adrenaline to circulate
Get that adrenaline to circulate
(Every day, every minute)
This is to motivate myself (every day, every minute)
Get up and go someplace else (every day, every minute)
And never get accustomed… to anything
Eyelids heavy like my conscience
4 o’clock in the morning, sleep walk out the apartment
I’m 'bout to catch a flight to the island
The thought alone of Cuba got me smiling
Touchdown in the paradise
Paradise, pair of eyes looking at me very nice
Maybe you and I could share a slice
Vegan lime tropical cherry pie
I don’t want to leave, Cubanos don’t wanna stay
Feel like they stuck in this special period
And to me, the place is just special, period
It’s where they buy soda from a tank in the streets
The Guarapo, the cane sugar drink
Not for diabetics, Cubanitas too sweet
I guess when life’s fitter, you can buy what you need
And this total control of the TV and the press
Of people too intelligent to not know that they oppressed
They stay strong, though everything’s a mess
It taught me motivation, nothing less
(Every day, every minute)
This is to motivate myself (every day, every minute)
Get up and go someplace else (every day, every minute)
Never get accustomed… to anything
Brother you give me motivation
It’s running through my arteries
Motivation
You’ll always be a part of me
Sister you give me motivation
It’s running through my arteries
Motivation
You’ll always be a part of me
Brother you give me motivation
Motivation
You’ll always be a part of me
Sister you give me motivation
Motivation
