The Motto lyrics
by Ludacris
[Intro]
Yo, aw shhhhhhhhhhit
My n*ggas, how we do it? You know it like a poet, baby doll
Break through it, you know it like a poet, baby doll
I spit, chew it, you know it like a poet, baby doll
Get in the music, you know it like a poet, baby doll
[Verse 1]
If you don't know, you better, ask somebody who I be
On land, air, or sea, I don't need No I.D
Once again, let's get under they skins like I.V.'s
Or Roman numerals fours who we doin' this for?
I got a shoe in the door, nothin' new anymore
Y'all got love for me? I got love for you and yours
Tical Part 0, my friend, rappers is fightin'
Like Tyson, when nothin' else work y'all start bitin'
My sh*t, and his sh*t, I'm hopin' it end
I live my life like a lotto ticket, hopin' it win
Purple haze got me chokin' again, open again
I'm what's crackin', like your mamma smokin' again
[Chorus]
If you see a model, then you might see me follow
Rubbin' her thighs like Aladdin rub the Genie bottle
Back for another swallow, Method, you know my motto:
"Y'all might just win today, but I'll be back tomorrow"
[Verse 2]
Y'all tryin' to get me started
Who on the short yellow bus tryin' to get retarded?
Kid don't be the artist, "formerly known as" artist
Jump off a skyscraper, to prove who hit the hardest
Where the bast*rds at and where they habitats?
I send they asses back to foldin' sweaters at the Gap
I like Nikes, food spicy, I'm a Pisces
That's why women love me and any n*gga that's like me
Thoroughbread, I'm with gettin' this dough instead
Need a ho, like I need another hole in the head
Lord help me, I'm crackin' the safe, pocket like 'Face
Mighty Healthy, you know I'm the sh*t, soon as you smelt me
[Chorus]
If you see a model, then you might see me follow
Rubbin' her thighs like Aladdin rub the Genie bottle
Back for another swallow, Method, you know my motto:
"Y'all might just win today, but I'll be back tomorrow"
[Verse 3]
For what it's worth, the early bird sit at the table and eat first
My n*ggas need work (Work), mami buggin', rippin' my t-shirt
We can kick it until our feet hurt
Mothers warn your daughters 'bout this tall drink of water
Spoiler, waiter give her anything she order on the menu
Method Man, live at your venue
Smokin' it, jumpin' off of sh*t, like he mental
Kid, I got a murder rap, in my head, it's simple
Open up the bullets, put the lead into the pencils
And people sayin' Wu gon' break up, y'all
We got ya numbers, it's time ya got your wake up calls, and...
[Chorus]
If you see a model, then you might see me follow
Rubbin' her thighs like Aladdin rub the Genie bottle
Back for another swallow, Method, you know my motto:
"Y'all might just win today, but I'll be back tomorrow"
If you see a model, then you might see me follow
Rubbin' her thighs like Aladdin rub the Genie bottle
Back for another swallow, Method, you know my motto:
"Y'all might just win today, but I'll be back tomorrow"
[Bridge]
Meth, right
Protect yo' neck, still be movin' on yo' left, right
Nuff respect to the clan, I'm the man, right?
Yes I am, back by popular demand
Right, right, yes I am, yes I am, am
[Outro]
Yeah, big up to Long Island
Always in my heart like that there, Hampstead, what the deal is? (Haha)
Big Mef, one mo' 'gain baby, Tical 0: The Prequel
Y'all know my motto
f*ck the World
