Motivation Lyrics by Skylar Grey
[Verse 1]
Straight from the Midwest, no complaints, I've been blessed
Other than curfews and blood-sucking insects
No good excuses for wasting my talent
Had the support, chose to be problematic
No major traumas to blame in my past
I had it good now that I'm looking back
God gave me dreams but not ambition
Give me the role, but don't make me audition
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be just wanna another faceless
Energy pulling from the wasteland
I know I could beat all the competition
But, honestly, I ain't got the motivation
[Verse 2]
Slept in again, such a comfortable mattress
Think I can win if I skip every practicе
Guess I was born in the wrong genеration
Don't wanna work, but I love getting payments
Guess I'm not willing to do what it takes
Should be on tour, but I stayed home again
Takes too much effort to be influential
R.I.P. to my wasted potential
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be just wanna another faceless
Energy pulling from the wasteland
I know I could beat all the competition
But, honestly, I ain't got the motivation
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do, do, do, do, do-do
[Verse 3]
Still in the wreck from collecting advances
Already used three or four second chances
Tasted success but I thought it'd be better
Flavor was good but I hated the texture
Thought I could wait for the stars to align
Fame came and went and I missed every sign
Turns out the dream was more like a delusion
Selling my art feels more like prostitution
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be just wanna another faceless
Energy pulling from the wasteland
I know I could beat all the competition
But, honestly, I ain't got the motivation
I don't wanna be just wanna another faceless
Energy pulling from the wasteland
I know I could beat all the competition
But, honestly, I ain't got the motivation
[Outro]
Honestly, I ain't got the motivation
Honestly, I ain't got the motivation
