Reminder
The Weeknd Lyrics

Record man play my song on the radio
I want my song on the radio to be played by the record company.

You too busy tryna find that blue-eyed soul
You are too busy looking for a specific talent (blue-eyed soul), that you are missing out on what I have to offer.

I let my black hair grow and my weed smoke
I am living my life the way I want, without conforming to societal standards.

And I swear too much on the regular
I curse a lot, and it's a part of who I am and how I express myself.

We gon' let them hits fly, we gon' let it go
We are going to release our music and let it speak for itself, without worrying about the reception or criticism.

If it ain't XO then it gotta go
If it's not associated with my crew (XO), then it's not worth keeping around or acknowledging.

I just won a new award for a kids show
I won an award for a children's show, despite the fact that my songs often discuss mature themes.

Talkin' 'bout a face numbin' off a bag of blow
I'm referencing drug use and the numbness that it can cause to a person's face.

I'm like goddamn bitch, I am not a Teen Choice
I am expressing my frustration that my music receives recognition mainly from adults, rather than teens.

Goddamn bitch, I am not a bleach boy
I am not a pop artist who caters to mainstream audiences and has a sanitized image.

Whip game, make a nigga understand though
My ability to navigate a car (whip game) proves that I am streetwise and tough.

Got that Hannibal, Silence of the Lambo
I own an expensive luxury car, specifically a Lamborghini, that makes me feel powerful like the character Hannibal Lecter.

Hit the gas so hard make it rotate (rotate)
I hit the gas pedal hard enough that it causes the car to spin.

All my niggas blew up like a propane (propane)
All my friends and colleagues have reached a level of success that's explosive, like propane gas.

All these R&B niggas be so lame
I am tired of hearing R&B artists who are uninspiring and unoriginal.

Got a sweet Asian chick, she go low mane (lo Mein, oh, oh, oh)
I have a girlfriend who is Asian, and I reference the Chinese dish lo mein to describe how she satisfies me sexually.

You know me (know me, na, na, na, na, na)
You are familiar with me and my persona.

Every time you try to forget who I am
Even when you try to ignore or dismiss me, I am still here and relevant in the music industry.

I'll be right there to remind you again
I will continue to assert my presence and remind people of my talent.

Said I'm just tryna swim in somethin' wetter than the ocean
I am looking for something (sexually) that is more intense and satisfying than anything in my past experiences.

Faded off a double cup, I'm mixin' up the potion
I am under the influence of codeine (a drug in purple drank) and mixing it into a drink, which gets me even more high.

All I wanna do is make that money and make dope shit
My main goal is to make money while creating music that is innovative and high-quality.

It just seem like niggas tryna sound like all my old shit
Other artists are trying to replicate my past music, instead of creating something new.

Everybody knows it, all these niggas know me
Everyone is aware of my influence and success.

Platinum off a mixtape, sippin' on that codeine
Despite not having an official debut album, my mixtape has received enough recognition to go platinum, and I am still drinking codeine.

Pour it in my trophies, rollin' 'til my nose bleed
I mix codeine into my trophies (awards), and my addiction to it causes my nose to bleed.

I'ma keep on singin' while I'm burnin' up that OG
I will continue to make music while smoking a high-quality strain of marijuana (OG Kush).

All my niggas get it, they make money all alone
My friends and colleagues all make money on their own, without relying on anyone else.

Rock a chain around they neck, makin' sure I'm gettin' home
My friends wear expensive jewelry, which shows they have my back and are supportive of me.

When I travel 'round the globe, make a couple mil' a show
I earn millions of dollars from performing shows all around the world.

And I come back to my city, I fuck every girl I know
When I return to my hometown, I have sexual relations with every woman I am familiar with.

Used to walk around with a slouch, had a mattress on the floor
I used to be poor and have bad posture, as shown by the fact that I slept on a mattress on the floor.

Now my shit straight
Now I am well-off and financially stable.

Eatin' all day, tryna lose weight
I can afford to eat all day, but I am still trying to maintain a healthy weight.

That good sex, we'll sweat it out
The sex I have is so good, it makes us both sweat profusely.

Hotel bedsprings we'll wear it out
We are so vigorous during sex that even the bedsprings in a hotel room cannot hold up against our activity.

Why don't you shake somethin', shake somethin'
I am encouraging someone (a woman, in this case) to dance and move their body creatively.

For the Don, don't you break nothin', break nothin'
I am warning her not to damage anything (furniture, objects, etc.) while dancing.

Baby girl, won't you work somethin', work somethin'
I am encouraging her to work her body and dance seductively.

For the Don, don't you hurt nothin', hurt nothin'
I am asking her not to hurt herself while dancing for me.

You are a no-man, yeah, you know man
You have no connection or familiarity with my world or my crew.

Oh, oh, oh, na, na, na, na, na
Repetitive vocalizations that don't have a specific meaning.
