Motivation Lyrics
Little white girl
In a shiny black car
Hanging out with her friends
And doing black tar
Daddy pays for the wedding
With a fist full of dollars
Cost as much
As the state of Guatemala
Oh why
Even try?
Well I got a big car
And a flat screen TV
All my loser friends
And my boyfriend’s family
Bring bags of food
And watch reality freakshows
Everybody’s faking it
But nobody thinks so
Oh why
Even try?
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world’s waiting for me
‘Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain’t no parties I’ve missed
Got to have it that way
‘Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION
Skinny young dude
In a hundred dollar tee shirt
In King James kicks
And a brand new manicure
Hotties doing pilates
With the snotties and the pleasers
Sneaking in the back door
At Coconut Teasers
Why
Even try?
Well, I dropped out of school
When I was seventeen
‘Cause I didn’t have time
To study my magazines
‘Cause there’s a lot to learn
From the privileged few
Like how to build a brand
Wearing high heeled shoes
Oh why
Even try?
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world’s waiting for me
‘Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain’t no parties I’ve missed
Got to have it that way
‘Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION
I’m gonna own this town
I’m gonna own this town
I’m gonna own this town
Yeah, it’s all mine
Oh why
Even try?
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
whole world’s waiting for me
‘Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain’t no parties I’ve missed
Got to have it that way
‘Cause baby I got…MOTIVATION
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious planswhole world’s waiting for me
‘Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
In a shiny black car
Hanging out with her friends
And doing black tar

And a flat screen TV

awesome song! best one off Detours! Song really touches on crazy rich LAZY people of our world.
Hehe, "Hotties doing pilates with the snotties and the pleasers..." very fresh and funny.
The first verse is definitely about those snooty-ass bitches from MTV's My Super Sweet 16. They're so ignorant and have lost all meaning of their own empty life!
Sheryl describes it best and in a way I'm sure those girls would think of as a compliment for them anyway... so, Sweet 16-girls: sing along to this in your ugly van, as if she's singing her heart out to all of you!!!
Sheryl has dedicated this song to celebrities who are famous for doing... well, no one really knows what. She specifically mentions Paris Hilton at her concerts but I totally agree with you skttrbrain, this song fits all the girls on the MTV shows nowadays. Anyone remember the 90's when MTV played music instead? What happened?
