Intro]
(whispered / layered)
Ulterior… motives…
Yeah… I see you now…
⸻
[Hook]
Ulterior motives run deep, I peep, I peep
Smiles too wide, but your soul don’t sleep
Say you real, but your roots don’t keep
You plant that pain just to watch me weep
Ulterior motives, I know your type
Hug me close, then you twist that knife
Playin’ love, but you roll like dice
Pay that price—I won’t fall twice
⸻
[Verse 1]
They laugh too loud when nothin’ funny,
Slide in sweet, yeah, sniffin’ money.
“I got you,” yeah—bitch, that’s cap,
Plant your seeds, then watch me snap.
Act like love, but you keepin’ score,
Hold that door, then charge me more.
Smile bright but you movin’ sick,
“Please” on lips with a hidden trick.
⸻
[Pre-Hook]
Gas me up just to let me fall,
Clap fake loud when I stand tall.
Wait ‘til I’m soft, then you creep in slow—
That’s that shit I ain’t rockin’ no more.
⸻
[Hook]
Ulterior motives run deep, I peep, I peep
Smiles too wide, but your soul don’t sleep
Say you real, but your roots don’t keep
You plant that pain just to watch me weep
Ulterior motives, I know your type
Hug me close, then you twist that knife
Playin’ love, but you roll like dice
Pay that price—I won’t fall twice
⸻
[Verse 2]
Watch my plate while you plottin’ take,
Bring me cake you ain’t even bake.
Speak on loyalty, that’s a joke—
Sell my name while you blowin’ smoke.
“Sister, sister”—yeah, miss me quick,
Should’ve known you would switch that script.
Every glance had a hidden plan,
Every “chance” was a setup scam.
⸻
[Bridge]
You wore my tears like they fit your face,
Then flipped that love into cold disgrace.
Oil on water—that shine looked real,
But truth don’t slide like that fake-ass feel.
⸻
[Breakdown / Whisper Hook]
Snakes don’t hiss… they hold you tight…
Say they love you… then strike on sight…
⸻
[Final Hook]
Ulterior motives run deep, I peep, I peep
I see through every lie you keep
No more blind, no more sleep—
You don’t get another piece of me
Ulterior motives, cut you off clean
No more access to my energy
Hug real tight? Nah, not tonight—
I learned your game… now I move right
⸻
[Outro]
(calm, cold)
Yeah…
I see you.
Whole time.
