[Intro]
Yeah, this is for that, uh, sexy-as-hell mystery woman
On the train that I never said hello to
This is what I was thinking
[Verse 1]
You got no business on a train looking …
[Verse 1]
What do I have to do to get to you?
What do I have to say to make you mine?
No text or call could show you what I’ll do
So put …
[Verse 1]
I was five, and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black, and I wore white
He would always win the fight
[Chorus]
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang …
Behold a new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the (altar)ing [ALTERING]
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude:
“Good luck, you’re on your …
Yeah, I’d rather be a lover than a fighter
‘Cause all my life, I’ve been fighting
Never felt a feeling of comfort
All this time, I’ve been hiding
And I never had someone to …
[Intro: Aziz Ansari (from the movie “Funny People”)] 1
“I’m really stepping up my game
These bitches gotta start paying me for this
Can’t get no more free Randy” 2
[Hook: Drake]
Got everything, I got everything
I cannot complain, I cannot 3
I don’t even know how much I really made, I forgot, it’s a lot 4
Fuck that, never mind what I got, nigga don’t watch that cause I
Came up, that’s all me, stay true, that’s all me 5
No help, that’s all me, all me for real
Came up, that’s all me, stay true, that’s all me
No help, that’s all me, all me for real 6
[Verse 1: 2 Chainz]
Money on my mind, you should think the same, J’s on, pinky ring
Dogging these hoes, I need quarantine 7
In the same league, but we don’t ball the same 8
(Ah) She want all the fame, I hear that shit all the time
She said she love me, I said, “Baby girl, fall in line” 9
Okay, made a million, off a dinner fork, watch me switch it up
Walked in, “Ill nigga alert! Ill nigga alert!” 10
You need that work, I got that work, got bitches in my condo 11
Just bought a shirt that cost a Mercedes-Benz car note 12
From the A to Toronto, we let the metal go off
And my dick so hard it make the metal detector go off 13
This that sauce, this that dressing, Givenchy, nigga God bless you
If having a bad bitch was a crime, I’d be arrested (Truu) 14
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Drake]
I touched down in ’86, knew I was the man by the age of 6
I even fucked the girl that used to babysit 15
But that was years later on some crazy shit
I heard your new shit, nigga hated it 16
Damon Wayans, homie don’t play that shit 17
I get paid a lot, you get paid a bit, and my latest shit is like a greatest hits
God damn, ain’t no wishing over on this side 18
Y’all don’t fuck with us, then we don’t fuck with y’all
It’s no different over on this side 19
God damn, should I listen to everybody or myself? 20
Cause myself just told myself:
“You’re the motherfucking man, you don’t need no help” 21
Cashing checks and I’m bigging up my chest
Y’all keep talking ‘bout who next 22
But I’m about as big as it gets, I swear y’all just wasting y’all breath
I’m the light skinned Keith Sweat, I’mma make it last forever 23
It’s not your turn ‘cause I ain’t done yet
Look, just understand that I’m on a roll like Cottonelle 24
I was made for all of this shit
And I’m on the road box office sales, I’m getting paid for all of this shit 25
Ask you to please excuse my table manners
I was making room for the table dancers 26
Cause if we judging off your advances, then I just got paid like eight advances
God damn! 27
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Big Sean]
Ho, shut the fuck up!
I got way too much on my mental, I learn from what I’ve been through 28
I’m finna do what I didn’t do and still waking up like the rent’s due 29
Not complicated, it’s simple, I got sexy ladies, a whole Benz-full 30
And to them hoes I’m everything — everything but gentle 31
But I still take my time, man, I guess I’m just old fashioned 32
Wearing retro shit, that’s old fashion 33
Nigga, see what I’m saying, no closed caption
I paint pics, see the shit, good sex, need to hit 34
Keep a broad on the floor year ’round like season tickets 35
I plead the fifth, drink a fifth 36
Load the nine, leave you split, in the half, smoke a half, need a zip 37
My new girl is on Glee and shit, probably making more money than me and shit 38
I swear to God I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one 39
Like I got trust issues, I’m sorry for the people I’ve pushed out 40
I’m the type to have a bullet-proof condom and still gotta pull out 41
But that’s just me, and I ain’t perfect, I ain’t a saint but I am worth it
If it’s one thing, I am worth it, niggas still hating but it ain’t working
Lil’ bitch… 42
[Verse 4: Drake]
Oh me, oh me, oh my
I think I done fucked too many women from the 305 43
‘Fore the end of this year, I’ll do King of Diamonds three more times 44
Smoking on that kush all in our section like it’s legalized 45
Girl, you can’t always have your way, sometimes it be like that 46
They don’t really fuck with you like that, they ain’t never did me like that
I just took my time, you got the shine, I let you eat like that 47
I’ve been taught to never loan somebody what you need right back 48
And I need that shit right back? (no more free Randy)
I’m blessed than a motherfucka 49
Niggas been stressed than a motherfucka 50
Niggas getting nervous, clutching they chests like a motherfucka 51
Damn that’s a motherfucker
Tell the truth, I don’t listen to you 52
‘Cause I don’t like being lied to 53
And that ship won’t sail
And that wind won’t guide you 54
Daddy was in jail we was talking through the window like a motherfucking drive-thru 55
That was back then man, now my niggas rich enough to do whatever I do 56
