Best I Ever Had
Drake/Swizz Beatz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Thinkin' my songs are about them, but
This is not to get confused
This one's for you
Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We could do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right, I promise that we gon' live it up
She made me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say, you the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had (ayy)
Best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had
I say, you the fuckin'
Know you got a roommate, call me when there's no one there
Put the key under the mat and you know I be over there (yup)
I be over there, shawty, I be over there
I be hittin' all the spots that you ain't even know was there
Ha, and you don't even have to ask twice
You could have my heart or we could share it like the last slice
Always felt like you was so accustomed to the fast life
Have a nigga thinkin' that he met you in a past life
Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up on
That's when you're the prettiest, I hope that you don't take it wrong
You don't even trip when friends say, "You ain't bringin' Drake along?"
You know that I'm workin', I'll be there soon as I make it home
And she a patient in my waiting room
Never pay attention to the rumors and what they assume
And until them girls prove it
I'm the one that never get confused with
'Cause baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We could do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right, I promise that we gon' live it up
She made me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say, you the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had (ayy)
Best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had
I say, you the fuckin'
Sex, love, pain, baby, I be on that Tank shit
Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disc
When my album drop, bitches'll buy it for the picture
And niggas'll buy it too and claim they got it for they sister
Magazine paper, girl, the money ain't the issue
They bring dinner to my room and ask me to initial
She call me the referee 'cause I be so official
My shirt ain't got no stripes, but I can make your pussy whistle
Like the Andy Griffith theme song
And who told you to put them jeans on?
Double cup love, you the one I lean on
Feelin' for a fix, then you should really get your fiend on
Yeah, just know my condo is the crack spot
Every single show, she out there reppin' like a mascot
Get it from the back and make your fuckin' bra strap pop
All up in your slot 'til a nigga hit the jackpot
Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We could do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right, I promise that we gon' live it up
She made me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say, you the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had (ayy)
Best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had
I say, you the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy), you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had (ayy)
Best I ever had (ayy), best I ever had
Uh, aw yeah
See, this the type of joint you gotta dedicate to somebody
Just make sure they that special somebody, ha
Young Money
Yeah
Yeah
You know who you are
I got you
The opening lines of the song are a dedication to Drake's love interest, but also a disclaimer to others who might think the lyrics are about them. He then proceeds to express his love for his significant other by calling her his everything and promising to treat her with the extravagance she deserves. Drake praises the love interest’s knowledge of everything about him which other women might not know about. He says that he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, and he is willing to spend whatever it takes to prove that he wants to be with her. The chorus of the song praises the girl, calling her the best he ever had.
Drake admires the girl’s independent attitude and asks her to call him whenever she is alone. He assures her that he will always be there for her and that he wants to explore every hidden area she has never visited before. The rapper compliments his girlfriend's natural beauty without any makeup and how she feels secure enough not to get jealous even with Drake's female colleagues. Drake goes on to say that he wants her to wait for him until he finishes his work, and once he gets home, he will treat her well. The chorus repeats, highlighting how the girl is the best Drake ever had.
Drake raps that when it comes to sex, he is up for anything, and his love interest should consider herself lucky. He boasts that his swag and popularity are such that he can sell a blank disc and people will still buy it. Drake continues to explain how his love interest controls him, calling herself the referee for the game of love, and despite him not being a player with striped shirts, he has a way with women. The bridge repeats the fact that the girl Drake is with is everything to him, and he promises to treat her right as he has always done.
