[Verse 1]
Little white girl in a shiny black car
Hanging out with her friends and doing black tar
Daddy pays for the wedding with a fist full of dollars
Cost as much as the state of Guatemala
Oh why even try?

[Verse 2]
Well I got a big car and a flat screen TV
All my loser friends and my boyfriend's family
Bring bags of food and watch reality freak shows
Everybody's faking it but nobody thinks so
Oh why even try?

[Chorus]
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got motivation
Motivation

[Verse 3]
Skinny young dude in a hundred dollar tee shirt
In King James kicks and a brand new manicure
Hotties doing pilates with the snotties and the pleasers
Sneaking in the back door at Coconut Teasers
Why even try?

[Verse 4]
Well, I dropped out of school when I was seventeen
'Cause I didn't have time to study my magazines
'Cause there's a lot to learn from the privileged few
Like how to build a brand wearing high heeled shoes
Oh why even try?

[Chorus]
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got motivation
Motivation

[Bridge]
I'm gonna own this town
I'm gonna own this town
I'm gonna own this town
Yeah, it's all mine
Oh why even try?

[Chorus]
Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got

Got no grease on my hands
Got no serious plans
Whole world's waiting for me
'Cause all I gotta do is get it for free
Got no reason to bitch
Ain't no parties I've missed
Got to have it that way
'Cause baby I got motivation
Motivation
