Motives (feat. Anthony Stallings)

Your motives are showing the worst side of you But I'ma keep doing me, I'ma keep doing me Mmm Uh, bad motives all around, can't escape the vibe Greed and lust take control, that's the devil's eyes Chasing power, doing anything to win, put your heart at stake Was it really worth your sin? Nah And money talks, but it can't buy peace And go and sell they soul, everything they love, finna cease Hunger for more, like a drug you can't refuse Addiction and bad motives like a noose What you choose? Are you jealous or content with your life You gotta ask yourself, what's the real price Of chasing after material things Money and fame, all the joy it brings The simple moments in life make you feel like kings Man, it's easy getting caught up in the game Your motives change, only flipped the script for the fame Staying true to myself, I'll never compromise My integrity and honor you will never undermine Your motives are showing the worst side of you But I'ma keep on doing me Mmm But at the end of the day At the end of the day I'm going my own way Ooh Yeah I got more, turn me up Showing true colors now referred to as I don't know 'em We opposing unpredictable motives Shaky relationships and bumpy roads like worn rotors Growing up you look behind to lots of doors closing Looking forward, that's essential for some more to open Nowadays I realize the real lies Gotta recognize human beings rocking snake eyes Giving up on chasing the wrong people As soon as you rise up, the vulture got eyes up Repulsive, I'm fired up, hearts an arc reactor Plotting on my crash, hope I paralyze, Don Cheadle I had to be my own Avenger, man, I won't surrender Had to get it on my own, I promise no pretending No one lending out directions to the easy route Heart been on my sleeve, see they motives when it's bleeding out I said your motives They're showing The worst side of you Hey hey hey And ain't nothing gonna stop that now I'm gone, I'm gone I'm gone I won't ever lose my spirit I'm knowing they gon' feel it Yeah, I won't ever lose my spirit, no, no
