Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah (go, go, go, go)
(Turn the lights on)

Whoa lover, don't you dare slow down
Go longer, you can last more rounds
Push harder, you're almost there now
So go lover, make mama proud (turn the lights on)

(And when we're done) I don't wanna feel my legs
(And when we're done) I just wanna feel your hands all over me baby
But you can't stop there (whoa, lover)
Music still playin' in the background (whoa, lover)
And you're almost there
You can do it, I believe in you, baby
So close from here

Baby, I'ma be your motivation (uh-huh, yeah)
Go, go, go, go, motivation
Go, go, go, go

Uh, gi-girl I turn that thing into a rainforest
Rain on my head, call that brainstorming
Yeah, this is deep, oh, but I go deeper
Ma-make you lose yourself, and finders keepers
It go green light, g-g-go Weezy go
I like to taste that sugar, that sweet and low
But hold up, wait, new position
I put her on my plate, then I do the dishes
She my motivation, I'm her transportation
'Cause I let her ride while I drive her crazy
Th-then I just keep going, going, like I'm racing
When I'm done, she hold me like a conversation, Weezy, baby-baby

But you can't stop there (whoa, lover)
Music still playin' in the background (whoa, lover)
And you're almost there
You can do it, I believe in you, baby
So close from here

Whoa, lover, when you call my name
No other, can do that the same, no
I won't let ya get up out the game, no
So go lover, don't it make me rain

(And when were done) I don't wanna feel my legs
(And when were done) I just wanna feel your hands all over me baby
But you can't stop there (whoa, lover)
Music still playin' in the background (whoa, lover)
And you're almost there
You can do it, I believe in you, baby
So close from here

Baby, I'ma be your motivation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kelly Rowland and Jeremih's hit song "Motivation" speak about the desire to keep going and pushing towards a goal in a sexual context. The first verse urges the lover to not slow down but instead go harder and longer to make themselves last more rounds. The chorus speaks about the singer's desire to feel the lover's hands all over their body and not wanting to feel their legs. The music is still playing in the background, urging the lover to keep going even when they feel like giving up. The second verse is sung by Jeremih and talks about his own sexual prowess, using metaphors like turning his lover into a rainforest and making them lose themselves. The chorus is repeated, and the song ends with Kelly urging her lover not to give up and promising to be their motivation.

The underlying message of the song is about the power of sexual desire, and how it can be harnessed to achieve a greater goal. The metaphor of music playing in the background represents the rhythm and pacing of the sexual act, with the lover urged to keep going even when they feel like giving up. The repeated chorus reinforces the idea that with enough motivation and perseverance, anyone can reach their goals.
