The Morning
The Weeknd ( Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the morning to the evening
Complaints from the tenants
Got the walls kicking like they six months pregnant
Drinking Alize with our cereal for breakfast
Girls calling cabs at dawn quarter to seven
Sky's getting cold, we flying from the north
Rocking with our city like a sold out show
House full of hoes that specialize into hoe-in
Make that money rain as they taking off they clothes
Order plane tickets, Cali is the mission
Visit every month like I'm split life living
Let the world listen if our haters caught slipping
Then my niggas stay tight
Got my back like Pippen, fast life gripping
Yeah we still tipping
Codeine cups paint a picture so vivid
Face try to mimic, get girls timid
But behind closed doors they get poles so rigid

All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work
Girl put in work

Push it to the limit, push it through the pain
I push it for the pleasure like a virgin to the game
A virgin to that money, a virgin to the fame
So this my only chance so when I'm over only pray
That I flow from the bottom, closer to the top
The higher that I climb, the harder I'ma drop
These pussy ass niggas trying to hold on to their credits
So I tell em use a debit watch they image start to lessen
I wanna 'em like discretion, why these niggas testing
Always fucking testing, why these niggas testing
Shit that I got 'em on, straight bar hopping to the music of the ambiance
Get shit poppin', zombies of the night
Niggas ain't talking if they hyping to the crew, get it in like pockets
Downtown loving, when the moon coming
Only place to find base heads and high women

All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work
Girl put in work

Better slow down, she'll feel it in the morning
Ain't the kind of girl you'll be seeing in the morning
Too damn raw ain't no nigga worth her holding
Ain't no nigga that she holding man her love is too damn foreign
Look at all that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work

All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money is the motive
All that money, the money she be folding
Girl put in work, girl girl put in work




Girl put in work, girl girl put in work
Girl put in work

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's "The Morning" is a song that describes a night of excess and hedonism. The singer and his friends party from morning to night, with complaints from the tenants about the noise, drinking Alize with cereal for breakfast, and women leaving in cabs at dawn. The lyrics refer to women as "hoes" and a "house full of hoes." There's also a sense of the fast life and competition to make money, with the repeated line "All that money, the money is the motive." There's a bit of self-reflection in the middle verse, as The Weeknd acknowledges his own drive to succeed and his fear of falling back down after accomplishing his goals.


The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the emptiness of the party lifestyle and the pursuit of money that can come with it. The lyrics describe a culture of objectifying women and living for instant gratification, with little thought given to the consequences of these actions. The Weeknd seems to be both enjoying this lifestyle and feeling conflicted about it, which creates a sense of complexity and depth to the song.
