Music is part of our daily life activities. We listen to songs for various reasons and at various times. If we are talking about songs that create that urge and hunger to become better people, which ones do you play?

To be very honest, there's no particular song that motivate me to do better in life because there are far more better pressing things which push me to never give and do more than just my best to succeed in life.

So, you are simply saying that listening to music doesn't affect you emotionally, right?

The only place where I listen to songs and they help me become very productive is at the gym. It's mostly hip hop and rap songs that's being played at the gym where I workout.

A music affecting me emotionally is completely different from a music motivating me to do better in life. How are they the same thing to you?

I believe that to be motivated is an emotional feeling rising from what one has read, listened to or seen or maybe I would ask what are the things that you think motivate people?

The only thing which listening to music does to me is make me happy or sad. Yes, you heard me well when I say some music makes me sad because they really do. They have the power to switch my mood.

Yes, some songs have the ability to make one feel sad. Such songs are also played in burial ceremonies or played by those passing through some difficult phase in life. So, which song does that to you?

Songs where artists talk about their struggles with life, depression and anxiety get me that way in making me very sad because I know how tough life can be for so many people out there in the world. NF songs are good example of such songs.

You are right about that because there are songs that makes one begin to imagine what life would have been assuming they are not in the position that they are currently at the moment. Songs about what thug life is all about and many more.

The biggest thing which gives me the motivation to become better than I was yesterday are the responsibilities I have to take care of. All those bills are what push me to work harder. There's no music in the world that's going to do that for me.

“Champion” by Fireboy gets to me every time. That song just speaks to me, especially when I’m tired or feeling stuck. It reminds me that success doesn't come easy, but it’ll surely come.

It seems like a very interesting song. What are the lyrics from the song that make you want to push more towards becoming a very great personality?

Our life is journey in this world until the day we take our last breath. This is why songs which are about someone's life have deep meaning always. It's completely different from the rap lyrics many artists sing about money, sex and guns.

There are still rap songs that focuses on talking about life, but just like you mentioned, it is not many right now as lots of rappers would rather sing about weed and money.

I know this song was trending so well in my country few years back. It doesn't look like Fireboy have released any good banger since after Champion.

For me, it’s “Ye” by Burna Boy. The lyrics are deep, and it talks about struggle and breakthrough. Anytime I play it, I just feel like I should keep pushing harder. I even have it on repeat when I’m working. It always reminds me that my hustle will pay off someday.

I’d say songs with uplifting lyrics and strong beats really motivate me. They make me feel like I can tackle anything and push through challenges. Sometimes it’s energetic pop or rock, other times it’s inspiring ballads.
