MOTIVE
G. Britton Lyrics

I was looking for a motive
I was searching for a reason or purpose behind our connection.

When we would dance till the morning
During those long, intimate nights of dancing together.

I thought I found it in the moment
I believed I discovered the significance of our relationship in those shared experiences.

It was you
I realized that the key aspect I was searching for was you, the person I was with.

I was looking for a motive
I continued to seek the underlying reason for our bond.

When we'd dance till the morning
In the times we spent lost in each other, dancing all night long.

Thought I found what I wanted
I felt I had pinpointed my desires in this relationship.

It was you
I concluded that it was you who fulfilled those desires.

It's been a long summer
The season has felt extended, filled with various encounters and implications.

Girl your body move like thunder
Your movements are powerful and captivating, like a storm.

Looking for your man, yeah I am one
While searching for someone to fulfill a relationship, I am here, ready to be that person.

To rearrange your plans, they abandoned
I aim to change your future intentions that have been overlooked or left behind.

Counting stacks in the bando
I'm accumulating wealth or resources in a less conventional setting.

Kyrie with the handles
I possess skill and finesse, akin to basketball player Kyrie Irving's ball-handling capabilities.

All in my lap is that an act baby
The attention and affection I receive feels almost performative; I question its authenticity.

Running them laps, you breaking backs lately
We've been very active with our physical relationship, testing each other's limits.

It's been a long summer
Again, I reflect on how this season has been prolonged with various experiences.

Of one-night lovers
The summer has been characterized by fleeting, casual relationships.

I don't know why she's willing to move
I question her willingness to engage relationship-wise without clear intentions.

So slow, then so fast
She oscillates between being cautious and suddenly passionate.

I want that, she so nasty
I desire her energy and boldness, finding it alluring.

Time will tell if we losing our minds
Over time, we will find out if this relationship is leading us to confusion or stability.

Oh no, this won't last
I have a sense of foreboding that our connection may not endure.

She so bad to me
She captivates me profoundly, sometimes in ways that feel dangerous or risky.

This I know
I am certain about the impact she has on me.

I was looking for a motive
I was still on my quest to understand the purpose behind our interaction.

When we would dance till the morning
In those moments of closeness and joy spent under the stars.

I thought I found it in the moment
I momentarily felt that clarity in our connection.

It was you
Ultimately, I recognized that you were central to what I sought.

I was looking for a motive
My search for an underlying reason in our relationship continued.

When we'd dance till the morning
During our intimate, carefree nights together.

Thought I found what I wanted
I believed I had identified the fulfillment of my desires.

It was you
I came to understand that you were the answer to my searches.

One night lover she gets that from her momma
She shares a trait of being a casual lover, likely influenced by familial patterns.

I'm not just any man
I differentiate myself from the others she may encounter.

Babe I'm not just another
I am not merely a temporary figure or fleeting interest.

Obviously
It should be clear that I possess unique qualities.

She coming for me
She is pursuing me with intention.

And shawty these one night stands
And yet, these temporary relationships may not be suitable for her long-term aspirations.

Can't be in your plans forever
Such fleeting encounters are not sustainable in her life.

It's bout to be a long summer
A continuation of this season filled with complex experiences lies ahead.

Girl come give me your number
I am seeking a deeper connection and hope to establish communication.

Need someone to do the samba with me
I desire a partner to share joyful, spirited experiences, akin to a dance.

And I hope you're mine when the night ending
I wish for you to be with me as our time together wraps up.

She tell me she's met nobody funnier
She expresses that I make her laugh more than anyone else.

And I swear I've never met nobody so sweet
In return, I acknowledge her kindness and sweetness is unparalleled.

So sweet
Her gentle nature leaves a lasting impression on me.

It's bout to be a long summer
Once again, I reference the complexities and duration of our evolving relationship.

Girl come give me your number
I am reaching out to form a genuine connection with you.

I don't know why she wants me to go so fast
I am perplexed by her desire to escalate our connection quickly.

Then slow down
Yet, moments later, she wants to take things slower.

She knows I'm nasty
She is aware of my bold and adventurous nature.

Yeah
Acknowledgment of the situation and all its complexities.

Time will tell if she'll truly be mine or pass me
The future will reveal whether our connection will strengthen or fade away.

What will her motives be
I am left contemplating her true intentions regarding our relationship.

I was looking for a motive
Throughout this journey, my quest for understanding continued.

When we would dance till the morning
Recalling those unforgettable nights spent dancing.

I thought I found it in the moment
I believed I had clarity in our connection at certain points.

It was you
Ultimately, I realized you were the core of my pursuit.

I was looking for a motive
Once more, I reflect on my ongoing search for meaning.

When we'd dance till the morning
During those blissful hours of communion under the night sky.

I thought I found what I wanted
I thought I had discovered satisfaction in this relationship.

It was you
I came to understand that you were the answer I sought all along.
