Drake-Thank Me Now

I always say that... Drake speaks my life... Prime example!



[Drake - Chorus]
You could thank me now
Uh, go 'head
Thank Me Later yeah I know what I said
But later doesn't always come so instead
It's okay,
You could thank me now
Uh, yeah, well alright, here I go


[Verse 1 - Drake]
Mahalo from the hardest act to follow
Lately I've been drinkin' like there's a message in a bottle
Aloha's to women with no ties
To men that I know well
That way there are no lies
You could thank me now for all the info I give to you niggas
I'm on the brink of influential
I'm here for you niggas I guess a hit doesn't add up to a career
For you niggas
I must have been hard to watch,
What a year for you niggas
It's December 31st and we in Miami just meditatin'
You got your resolutions, we just got reservations
Livin' out a dream, it feels like I stayed up
And we just wanna party Pat Ron straight up
Fuck that old shit, I'm on new things
O.V.O. Clique, Red Wing Boot Gang
Yeah we want it all, half was never the agreement
Who'd thought the route we chose would ever end up this scenic
I could relate to kids goin' straight to the league
When they recognize that you got what it takes to succeed
And that's around the time that your idols become your rivals
You make friends with Mike but gotta A.I. him for your survival
Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonomous
'Cause we wanna be them and they wanna be us
Yeah, so on behalf of the demanded
And the entertainment that you take for granted
You could thank me now
And oh my goodness you're welcome
You're welcome
At this point me is who I'm tryin' to save myself from
Rappers hit me up and I never know what to tell them
'Cause they think that I can help them get back to where they fell from
But drink up 'cause everyone here is good tonight
Except the niggas that I came wit', they good for life
Yeah, that's how you know it's goin' down
In case another chance never comes around

[Chorus]

[Drake - Verse 2]
Uhh, shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimmin'
I think I'm spendin' all my time with the wrong women
I think I have a chance at love but knowin' me I miss it
'Cause me dedicatin' my time just isn't realistic
Man the good girls went silent on me
They got a boyfriend or left for college on me
And all the bad ones I used to hit are friends now
That make me wish I had a little less mileage on me
But do I ever come up in discussion over double pump lattes
And low fat muffins, do I?
Or is missing what we had outta the question
I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson
I got flows for the Marilyn Monroes who was there before it all
I guess that's how it goes
They hear about your cons or focus on your pros
And love you for who you are from the bottom of they soul
But those same ones from your area will grow
Into women that are ready to get married at hello
Because of what they allow
Where are they all now
I know there somewhere watchin' so I'm trying to make them proud
Searchin' for the meanin'
You'll find it next to me
And tell me I'm the hottest, guess we finally get to see
I'm feelin' like Nas, who am I to disagree?
They say that doors'll open up as soon as you find the missin' key
It's probably why I'm in this bitch shinin'
Jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment
I rep the ATF in case you need to be reminded
And the bandwagon's full you can try and run behind it
I'm sorry, poolside drinkin'
Margarita rounds
Shout out to my city though I hardly be in town
I'm the "Black Sheep", but Chris Farley wears the crown
And I know life is just a game in which the cards are facin' down
I'm in the world where things are taken, never given
How long they choose to love you will never be your decision
And I'm aware this could be the last time you listen
So while I'm still in this postion

[Chorus]
