The song “Motivate” is about self-preservation and self-drive.T.I Blaze understands that no one will truly carry your burden the way you will. People can support you, talk to you, even pray for you, but at the end of the day, your progress depends on how hard you are willing to fight for your dream.
That truth echoes through his lyrics, the pressure, the expectations, the setbacks, yet he chooses to rise every single time.

[Intro]
(Yo Dibs)
[PreChorus]
As I dey on my grind, no go run enter my kaba, broda
As I dey climb, dem drag my ladder down, nah why, nah why
As I enter town, dem shout my name, walahi (My guy)
Na who burst my check go check the balance, e no fit be me, walahi ye
Dem cultivate enter number one
Ka motivate Wale, ko lọ Shatta wa, ah-ahh
B'Olubadan wọ knicker, kẹlẹgbẹ mẹgbẹ, me no dey for their caliber
[Chorus]
I don sacrificed my life, sacrificed my time, I dey put in work
Make dem no later say na lucky oh
I don sacrificed my life, sacrificed my time, I dey put in work
My kpoli na my real friend, my kpoli na my real friend, but we still decent oh
[Verse 1]
As I dey wake up, I dey thank God
Dem dey find me, I dey jọgọ and I dey lock up
When I enter my ovation, make e no miss, gimme the major standing ovation, ovation
No intimidation
Ta lo n wu, ta lo n gbeṣan? No answer no question, no answer no question
[PreChorus]
As I dey on my grind, no go run enter my kaba, broda
As I dey climb, dem drag my ladder down, nah why, nah why
As I enter town, dem shout my name, walahi (My guy)
Na who burst my check go check the balance, e no fit be me, walahi ye
Dem cultivate enter number one
Ka motivate Wale, ko lọ Shatta wa, ah-ahh
B'Olubadan wọ knicker, kẹlẹgbẹ mẹgbẹ, me no dey for their caliber
[Chorus]
I don sacrificed my life, sacrificed my time, I dey put in work
Make dem no later say na lucky oh
I don sacrificed my life, sacrificed my time, I dey put in work
My kpoli na my real friend, my kpoli na my real friend, but we still decent oh
I don sacrificed my life, sacrificed my time, I dey put in work
Make dem no later say na lucky oh
I don sacrificed my life, sacrificed my time, I dey put in work
My kpoli na my real friend, my kpoli na my real friend, but we still decent oh
