“Motivation” by Alkaline is a powerful and uplifting anthem about overcoming challenges and staying focused on achieving one’s goals. The lyrics encourage listeners to stay strong, maintain their faith, and not be deterred by setbacks or obstacles.
The opening lines “Feel di pressure, man a beat it like a sledge, I’ll never kneel that a the pledge” set the tone for the song’s theme of resilience and determination. Alkaline emphasizes the importance of staying focused and holding onto one’s beliefs, no matter how difficult the journey may be. The repetition of the phrase “Motivation, inspire, inspire” reinforces the message of staying motivated and inspired, even in the face of adversity.
The line “Must deh have a light inna di tunnel, matter how it hard, a burden weighty-er than a dumbbell” highlights the idea that even in the darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope. The weighty burden of the challenges one may face may seem overwhelming, but with determination and perseverance, success is achievable.
Alkaline also emphasizes the importance of having a positive attitude and outlook on life. He encourages listeners to have “Wull heap a love fi give, nuh must get in return,” meaning that true success comes from giving and contributing to others without expecting anything in return. This idea aligns with the concept of “paying it forward,” where acts of kindness and generosity can inspire others to do the same.
