KITCHEN - Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna turn me on
Tell me why I get this feeling
That you really wanna make me yours
'Cause I see you trying
To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms
I admit it's exciting
Parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on
Baby, tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
So tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
I could call bullshit out from a mile away (don't say)
You'll want me if you can
Keep coming back for me
Might have to curve you
If you just can't talk straight (just say)
Say what you mean, 'cause you might get it
'Cause I see you trying
Subliminally trying
To see if I'm gon' be the one that's in your arms
I admit it's exciting
Parts of me kinda like it
But before I lead you on
Tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive? (Uh)
So tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
(Yah, yah, ayy)
You treat me like gold baby
Now you wanna spoil me
Did you want a trophy?
Or you wanna sport me, baby?
Want me on your neck 'cause you wanted respect
'Cause you're fighting some war, baby
Well I had to bring the fists out
Had to put a wall up
But don't trust phonies, baby
You gotta tell me what's your motive, baby
'Cause you got your candy on your arm
No need to sugarcoat a lie
Say what you want
I needed a real bonafide G
Can you promise me
You'll bring it all tonight
'Cause I need you to be wise
Tell me everything that's on your mind
Baby, tell me what's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive?
What's your motive? What's your motive? (uh)
So tell me what's your motive? (yeah, tell me, baby)
What's your motive? What's your motive?
What's your motive? (yeah, ayy)
In the song "motive" by Ariana Grande, the lyrics describe a situation where the singer is being pursued by someone who may have an ulterior motive for wanting to be with her. The lyrics suggest that this person is being subliminal in their approach, and the singer is trying to determine what their true intentions are.
The first verse explains how the singer senses that the pursuer is trying to turn her on and make her theirs. However, the singer is cautious and wants to know what their true motive is before leading them on. The second verse goes on to say that the singer can tell when someone is not being upfront, and they might have to "curve" them if they can't be honest. The chorus questions what the pursuer's motive is and asks them to be straightforward with their intentions.
The bridge is more of a rap section, where the singer is asking the pursuer if they want to spoil her or if they just want to use her as a trophy. She explains that she needs someone who is genuine, and if they want to be with her, they need to bring their best effort.
Overall, "motive" is a song about wanting honesty and transparency in a relationship. The singer is being pursued, but she is cautious and wants to know what the other person's intentions are before diving into a relationship.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
„Your banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.“
„He will wait until wars rage everywhere.
Then he will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. Everyone will lavish praise on him.
He will not stop there, for he will move at a pace which will astonish many and he will negotiate peace agreements in many war-torn nations.“
"He will impress everyone with his knowledge of all things sacred.
He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him."
