Ulterior Motives

Call your mother
Make sure she knows you love her
Well, the money, is never gonna lend itself
Don't beat around the bushes
Pick up the phone and make the call
Here is your brother
He ain't looking out for you
He's flippin' the scripture
To do the things that he wants to do
Say, all you need is love
How come you don't want to borrow

We're talking about ulterior motives
Comin up from under the bridge
And the air ain't often clean on top of the water
Get your shit together
Make a request you can feel in your heart
Cause I know that you know I know
What it is that you want

Ain't it too familiar?
A hungry heart full up on television
With an infomercial trying to turn your
Chakras where they ought to be
And don't let them tell you that they love you
When their operation is to drug you
Keep you coming to their door
Look there is the only place
That can take away the pain
They gave to you
Uh ha don't let em

I'm talking ulterior motives
Comin up from under the bridge
And the air ain't often clean on top of the water
Get your shit together
Make a request you can feel in your heart
Cause I know that you know I know
What it is that you want

We're talking ulterior motives
Comin up from under the bridge
And the air ain't often clean on top of the dirty water, water, water
Get your shit together
Make a request you can feel in your heart
Cause I know that you know I know
What it is that you want
Go call your momma
