Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To stay and give it tonight
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation (21), hey
(Gang, gang, gang), 'Cause I do it so right
One look was all it took (21), she know what to do
I swear she read me like a book (straight up)
Be my motivation, when I come home she gon' cook (on God)
I rap for a living so she know I'm off the hook (facts)
Use to be a dog in the past, now I'm good (on God)
She's a popstar, I got her hanging in the hood (on God)
Call her Home Depot, I fill her up with wood (straight up)
Play with her, it's big smoke, capeesh, understood? (Straight up)
Louis slides (yeah)
Got a Chanel purse on every one of my bags (21)
Brand new Spider, drop the top, let her drive (skrrt)
Don't be too friendly if I bring you 'round the guys (21)
Don't take it personal, baby, sometimes I be shy (on God)
I'ma Libra they say all we do is lie
You can't hear the rumors when you're this high in the sky (facts)
Can't touch the ground, we compliment each other, fly
Yeah, I'ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation
Hey, 'cause I do it so right
Think about it, ooh, I think about it
Think about it, ooh, take a look at me now
Hey, a little motivation, alright
You got a bad one, baby, don't you?
Got a bad one, baby, don't you?
And we both know there's no
One better, boy, no one better, boy
Too late, won't make it, I'ma tell 'em (yeah)
Get you naked, but I won't tell 'em (woo)
'Cause you know that there's no
One better, boy, no one better, boy
Fallin' into the bed
Why would we ever do somethin' instead of
Fallin' into the bed right now?
Eh, right now, now
I'ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight (and give it tonight)
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation
Hey, 'cause I do it so right
Think about it, ooh, I think about it
Think about it, ooh, take a look at me now
Hey, a little motivation, alright
Hey, ohh
A little motivation
Oh
I'ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation
Hey, 'cause I do it so right
Think about it, ooh, I think about it
Think about it, ooh, take a look at me now
Hey, a little motivation, alright
Oh

The lyrics to Normani & 21 Savage's song "Motivation" are about the two artists' respective love interests. 21 Savage opens up with a verse about his girlfriend and how being with her motivates him to be on his best behavior. He acknowledges his past as a womanizer but assures her that he's changed his ways. He also mentions that she's a popstar and he's proud to show her off to his friends, who may not have the same level of fame as her. Normani then takes over the chorus, singing about how she wants to be her partner's motivation to give it their all in bed. She encourages him to turn around and let her give him "innovation," indicating that she wants to try new things with him. The second verse is a continuation of the first, with 21 Savage rapping about how his girlfriend is the best he's ever had and how he won't tell anyone about their intimate moments.
Overall, the song is a sexy and confident ode to the power of motivation in both love and sex. Each artist showcases their unique style and abilities, with Normani's impressive vocals and 21 Savage's smooth verse complementing each other perfectly.
