Overall Meaning

The song "Shot for Me" by Drake is a passionate and introspective track that revolves around a breakup. The lyrics of the song are an attempt by Drake to address his ex-girlfriend, telling her that he is the only one that can make her feel the way she does now.

He then goes on to boast about how he is the reason for her success and her previous happiness.


Drake directly addresses his ex-girlfriend in the lyrics, mentioning her by name and chastising her for trying to find someone to replace what he had given her. He notes that he had always taken care of her and loved her deeply, whereas the current man she is with is not like him at all. He then goes on to proclaim himself the man, saying that no one would ever forget that he made her who she is today and that she is always getting faded because of him.


The second verse of the song continues Drake's inner monologue regarding his past relationship with his ex-girlfriend. He openly admits that he misses her and that he never cheated on her, even though she never believed in him completely.

He then confesses in a vulnerable tone that he can hear the pain in his ex-girlfriend's voice, and he hopes she recovers.

@tayaoutar4116

As the times get harder
Then my days get longer
Having you by my side is making our love stand stronger

Your always there when i need you
I know i can always believe you
You really don't bang with my crew
Ill never choose them over you

Never a dull moment with my baby
Even when you drivin me crazy
And when i start to loose my cool
You get turned on but thats just you

Its us against the world
You and me cause your my girl
Im sure i want you by my side
Your my forever, my ride or die

And no ill never lie
Cheat nor steal or make you cry
break your heart and say goodbye
and every time we kiss it feels like the fourth of july

Do you ever think of me when your sad
To make your day good instead of bad
Cause you deserve the best and everything i never had...



@queencxan9228

I just need someone who understands what I've been thru
Who knows my hustle, knows my grind to make my dreams come true
I dont need no fake friends so F them pythons
If you not with me through my Downs, you can't move up, but you can move on

who'd take a shot for me in my darkest moments
when I'm lonely feeling hopeless all those times I had to cope with...
Nahh im fine actually, im doing better now
I'm on my grind make a move so I can't settle down

See when we promised forever guess that aint last long
So we just kicked it till whenever
You the reason that I write songs

@appaalle

Your a taker and im a giver,
Take a shot for me right in the liver,
Hopefully you will feel relaxed on this river,
I can make u feel faded with this quiver,
Arms feelin numb time to pull the trigger,
Kidney infected its spreadin even quicker,
Spreadin quicker I feel the shot, Maybe iv just smoked to much pot,
But I feel as if im in the right mood not too hot,
But then again I feel earth is a pedestal and im on top,
I feel I am the criminal you are the cop,
Takein my life away while I get drunk on the spot,
Insides meltin brain ready to rot, Body feelin weak knees ready to drop,
My heart has ben harvested like a crop,
My eyes are red hand me some eye drops,
I believe im too faded alcohol mixed with pot,
Now hand me a couple of pills and watch me stiffen like a prop,



@Innasence671

You broke my heart that's already a given,
mama said to watch myself when I'm dealing with women,
in one ear and out the other I wasn't one to listen,
far from blessed, I never was one to be a Christian,
that's the truth but when you came to me,
I was the one to listen,
because you brought your sins to me,
you were my world you were forgiven,
I took in shots of your pain and a shoulder for comfort,
while I took in your own tears in the end I was to suffer, right?
It's a one sided affair but , it's all cool,
because I was the one who'd you wanna push a call to,
so come on and just come through,
let me be the one you'd run to,
you got my feelings in a boxing match, one two.



@Dathin19

@sebvsign2352

Puedo ver en tus ojos que estas molesta contigo
Porque han llegao' cuatro hombres
Porque has tenio' par de amigos
Y ninguno tiene el carácter, tu sabes lo que digo
Te hace sentir segura, como lo estabas conmigo
Y yo sé eso y mas cosas, que no te gustan las rosas
Y que en las noches oras pensando en mi vida peligrosa
En dónde estará metio', en cual barrio, en cual caserio
Con las tipas que llamaban cuando estaba al lao' mio
Y te han contao' de la rubia, la modelo, la que estudia
Y hoy te tomas el tiempo mientras ves caer la lluvia
Recordando un segundo con sentimiento profundo
El que mueve y detiene, cada vuelta de tu mundo

Y la forma en que caminas me reflejas a mi
Te peinas y arreglas como me gusta a mi
Y la palabra que usaste la escuchaste de mi
Es más sube la copa y date un shot por mi

Y la forma en que caminas me reflejas a mi
Te peinas y arreglas como me gusta a mi
Y la palabra que usaste la escuchaste de mi
Es mas sube la copa y date un shot por mi
Y date un shot por mi ooooooh
Date un shot por mi ooooooh
Date un shot por mi

Y dale brinda mientras le cuentas a las muchachas
Del hombre en el que piensas cada vez que te emborrachas
Por quien cantas gloria trevi y alejandra guzmán
Hacer el amor con otro no es lo mismo mi madame
Y si lo hice, fui el hombre del dolor y cicatrices
Oculté muchos detalles pero baby si te quise
Preferí la calle, te fallé, es cielto lo que aquel dice
Sé quien fuiste y quien eres, si yo también lo hice
Y si lo hice, todo lo hice my girl
El hombre que vive en tu mente, soy dueño de tu piel
Y sé bien también el daño y lo que eres mujer
Se lo debes a este hombre y ese shot va por él

Y la forma en que caminas me reflejas a mi
Te peinas y arreglas como me gusta a mi
Y la palabra que usaste la escuchaste de mi
Es más sube la copa y date un shot por mi

Y la forma en que caminas me reflejas a mi
Te peinas y arreglas como me gusta a mi
Y la palabra que usaste la escuchaste de mi
Es más sube la copa y date un shot por mi
Y date un shot por mi oooh
Date un shot por mi oooh
Date un shot por mi

Yee
Este es darkiel
Oye dicelo chalko
L.e record
On fire music
No vamo a parar
Toffel
Chelo
Luisito barber
El insoportable
Y one done
Bloo



@susanaromero7791

Verse 1: JayteKz]
I'm sick and tired of being cheated on
Regardless I'ma always keep keeping on
You're heartless cause all them bitches that you're leading on
Although you got a girl at home that you've been sleeping on
So how long have you been lying to their fucking face
I introduced you to my family, you stayed at my place
We even talked about our future and the kids we'd raise
I tried my best to make you happy, what a fucking waste
Damn, I really hope you realize your selfish ways
Karma's a salty ass bitch
I hope you get a taste
I made my mistakes but never once did I cheat on you
I had my chances but the only one I need was for you
Well, I guess I did mean that I need you
Now I see your true colors so damn deceitful
I see through it all, all of those missed calls
All those times you never came home was working 2 jobs
You fucking liar
You lit my heart on fire
Now all I feel is hate, where I once felt desire
I can't believe you did this shit, and how you hid this shit
And now I question if you even did  gave a shit
And what about all those times we was intimate
Were you acting was you ever really into it?
Yeah probably not because you was focused on the other bitches
I really thought you was the one, I can't believe you did t[Verse 2: Jaytekz]
No I don't want to see your face again
You ain't nothing but a coward, a disgrace to men
You had a good woman, someone who was always there
And all them other hoes you've fucking with cannot compare
And I can guarantee them bitches only temporary
I was forever up till we're dead and buried
"We're getting married"
That's that bullshit that you fed me huh?
But instead you stabbed me in the heart and left me numb
Fuck, I just wish I never met you
Wish I fell asleep and when I'd wake up I'd forget you
Wish this was a nightmare that I never went through
But the truth is this really happened and I must accept you
You piece of shit, I hope you finally satisfied
But once you see me moving on don't you ask surprised
Cause there is a whole lot of guys I can fall on
So don't you come back cause all we had is all gone
I hope you regret losing me
And I can bet you'll be losing sleep
You made a motherfucking fool of me
I held you down right, you cheated acting cruel to me
Now how the fuck do you explain that?
Thinking of you brings the pain back
I wish somehow I could erase that
These memories bring me down just like a plane crash



@preciousviena7851

I can see it in your eyes, you're angry
Regret got shit on what you're feeling now
Mad 'cause he ain't like me

All the care I would take, all the love that we made
Now you're trying to find somebody to replace what I gave to you
It's a shame you didn't keep it, Alicia, Katia

dear god,
I hope you have the patients with me,
And i know that ive been acting differently,
but once you get hurt you gotta put your feelings first and get to them first,
I know this ain't the girl you raised,
And I know this aint the girl you hoped for,
but please uderstand I've been waiting for a long time hoping for a sign,
it's never been a competition,
and it's never been about my self worth,
it's always been about how you died for my sins,
And you know I cant put no one else first,
but at times I wanna give up, never understand how we fixed up, a world so cold and cruel when you put your love first,
I've been through alot of shit, but i know other kids have worst then me, so I guess all i wanna say is thank you .

(go ahead and add if you wanna, this was just a short rap I kinda made up .)
