The Motion

Drake · Other Songs - Drake

It's not me and you

It's not me it's you



The records say you know it they don't love you like I do

Say you're moving on well I guess that's just the motion



I guess that's just the motion oh-oh

I guess that's just the motion oh-oh

I guess that's just the motion oh-oh

I guess that's just the motion

I guess that's just the motion



I don't have a fuck to give

I've been moving state to state

In my leather and my Tims like it's 1998

And my dog chubby chub, that's my nigga from the way

On the east side of the city that's where everybody stay

Seem like everybody calling cause they want me on they song

It's like every time I touch it I could never do no wrong

When they need a favor from your man they don't leave you alone



But I guess that's just the motion

Then that phone doesn't ring when they got everything that's the motion

oh-oh

I guess that's just the motion oh-oh

I guess that's just the motion yeah



Lookin back on it at least my pride is intact

Cause we said no strings attached and I still got tied up in that

Everything that I write is either for her or about her

So I'm with her even when I'm here without her and she know it

The girl that I wanna save is like a danger to my health

Try being with somebody that wanna be somebody else

I always thought she was perfect when she was being herself

Don't even know how to help



But I guess that's just the motion



She'll probably come around, she'll never settle down,



That's the motion oh-oh



I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

I guess that's just the motion(oh-oh)

The Motion - Drake

Released in 2013, "The Motion" stands as a defining track from Drake's evolution into a global pop icon. Featuring the emotive vocals of Paris Morton, the song blends R&B sensibilities with hip-hop production to explore themes of emotional turbulence and the feeling of being swept away by circumstances. It appeared on the deluxe edition of his debut album, Nothing Was The Same, marking a pivotal moment where Drake began to prioritize melodic hooks and vocal interplay alongside his signature rap delivery. The collaboration with Morton highlighted his growing ability to craft songs that function as both personal confessions and universal anthems, solidifying his status as a central figure in contemporary music.
