Motif Lyrics by Enakim

2001

[Verse 1]
Momma told me that i’m going to be okay
Momma told me that i’m gonna feel the rain
Momma told me that we not the same
Momma told how to deal with pain
Right before
Most of this niggas were born in a golden crib
Hit it raw alligator clip
This green give me an elevator trip
Benylin if you dropping on that double cup
Got a bad bitch for a buck
777 till im out of luck
Only fucking if i’m hitiing raw
I prefer ocb than fucking raw
I got a ja on pemba
Breaking the blocks we playin jenga
[Chorus]
We want the motives
We want the motives
Yeah yeah
Don’t you play with my feelings
Don’t you play with my feelings (2x)
[Verse 2]
The pressure always passes
The pain goes away
Girl believe i’ll only tell you once yeah
The truth
Is hurtful to you and me
I think that this could be
Something different a change
For once can we rage
Close the book and rip the pages
Let’s just smoke a joint and see the stars and the moon in my room
Closing the function
The 12 is near by
Seeing the people going right by
Niggas been talking boy shit they so high
I only pray so i reach the sky
Trynna reach the sky today tomorrow any day i don’t know i don’t show
I just know imma take my time to
[Interlude]
Grow into the man i wanna be
And the person i wanna be above all
The things i wanna do for people around me
And even people not around
We gotta do something
We as a community
Have to
Have to stick together
It doesn’t matter our religion race
In this situation covid 19
Hitting us hard
Umm
We need to stick together
We don’t know what we have instored but ourselves and our family and love
Yeah
[Chorus]
We want the motives
We want the motives
Yeah yeah
Don’t you play with my feelings
Don’t you play with my feelings (2x)
[Verse 3]
Girl girl
You mess with my soul
My spirit my bounds
The things that i wrote
The things that i worship
And things i done lost
Seeing the glare seeing the cost
Of being the best
And taking up charge
I stopped taking orders from the sarge
Did my first lo mein in the backseat of a car
What can i say it was amazing
