4, 2, 3, 4 DJ Khaled!

I'm a lover not a fighter, I can't find my lighter
My house is four stories, I tell'em I don't write em'
And my living room is white, my lies are much whiter
My darkest secrets are bright I need a sun visor
I say "187", make your bitch run my errands
I'm at the bar with a Dracula ordering bloody Mary's
I got a house on the prairie, got a corpse in the basement
I see hell out the window, man this view is amazing
And if I go back to jail, Persian rugs in my cell
Got the world in my hands it got all under my nails
In a room full of stares, give em something to see
I be so fucking faded, who washed the colors with bleach?
Now they biting my style, hope it get stuck in yo teeth
I been had the green light, so don't jump in the street
The World's under my feet, I'm just kissing the sky
Tune, what is that smell? That's the shit on my mind, hah

Fuck all you bitches, fuck all you bitches
Fuck all you bitches, fuck all you bitches
Fuck all you hoes, fuck all you hoes
1 million, 2 million, 3, 4

Uh, breaking up the kush, sticky fingers-onics
I'm throwing up gang signs you can see I'm in my vomit
And I'm cool right na' but please dont change the climate
'Cause I'm sleeping with the enemy in bulletproof pajamas
I got issues bigger than you, bitches taller than me
Ratchet and Bougie, I like R'n'B
Unapologetic I'm sorry for not being sorry
You niggas old news prehistoric
I need benadryl for my trigger finga, bad bitches for my home boys
The grass is greener on the other side, I'm focused on my own yard
Ain't got enough, need more dough, we twisting blunts like torsos
I'm rich as fuck but more so, a poor soul
Oh well, If snow fell like hoes fell in love I be a snow man
My bitch a die for me, she a soldier, GI Joe-Ann
Take chances when I know I ain't got no chance, roll em
I left that crap table with a chip on my shoulder

Fuck all you bitches, fuck all you bitches
Fuck all you bitches, fuck all you bitches
Fuck all you hoes, fuck all you hoes
1 million, 2 million, 3, 4

We ain't got no motive, we just killin' yall for nothing
And my bitch got cotton mouth, you know them snakes cannot be trusted
And I bet y'all niggas don't say shit, because I'm feeling lucky




And I still pray everynight that Aliens abduct me, Tunechi
Whattup Khaled?

Overall Meaning

In DJ Khaled's song "No Motive", the rapper talks about his lavish lifestyle, dark secrets, and his indifference towards anyone who tries to copy his style. He starts off by saying that he is a lover and not a fighter, but he can't find his lighter. The first line of the song sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, he is relaxed and does not care. He also talks about his opulent lifestyle, stating that his house is four stories high and the living room is white.


DJ Khaled then goes on to say that his lies are much whiter than the white living room. This refers to him having ethical issues, and he needs a sun visor to hide his darkest secrets, which are bright enough to be seen. He then raps about his reputation, stating that he makes bitches run his errands and orders Bloody Marys at the bar with Dracula.


DJ Khaled's verses continue with the line "I got a house on the prairie, got a corpse in the basement", which is a reference to a famous children's novel series called the "Little House on the Prairie". This line suggests that his house is so big that he has a basement with a corpse. He then says he sees hell outside his window and that his view is amazing, suggesting that he is indifferent towards bad situations.


Overall, the song has a strong theme of indifference toward anything that doesn't concern him, and he's living life on his own terms. DJ Khaled's extravagant lifestyle is the key point of the song and his attitude that no one can break him.
