Motivate Lyrics
[Verse 1: Leigh-Anne, Leigh-Anne & Jade, Jade]
He struts like, he struts like a baller (Yup, hey)
We switchin' every kind of pose up (Woo)
Highways and country lanes, we roll up (Go big, yeah, yeah)
He give it to me any way that I want it, babe
Any way that I want it
Drunk or sober (Sober, sober, sober)
He never let me down when he go lower (Lower, lower, lower)
Then baby always hold me when it's over (He give it to me, he give it to me)
He give it to me, any way that I want it, babe (Hey)
Any way that I want it (Hey)
[Pre-Chorus: Jade]
When he moves in, I cave in
Want him to dive in my ocean (Move it, move it, move it)
We take off our labels on the coffee table
2 a.m. and we just begun (Hey, hey)
[Chorus: All, Jesy]
The way that he touch me, no I can't get enough
He keeping me up all night long (All night long)
He motivate me (He motivate me)
Yeah, that's my baby (That's my baby)
He really hear me when my body talk (Ha, ha, ha, ha)
[Post-Chorus: All, Jesy]
He got me singing
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, ayy

He give it to me any way that I want it, babe
Any way that I want it
Drunk or sober (Sober, sober, sober)
He never let me down when he go lower (Lower, lower, lower)
Then baby always hold me when it's over (He give it to me, he give it to me)
He give it to me, any way that I want it, babe (Hey)
Any way that I want it (Hey)

One of the best and most fun writing sessions we’ve ever had. The song is absolute filth and I love it. I was also pretty drunk when we wrote this.
