Fire & Desire
Drake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dedicate, I dedicate the world
Yeah, oh
I dedicate, I dedicate
I give you my fortune
I dedicate, I dedicate
I dedicate, I dedicate
I dedicate, dedicate, dedicate
I dedicate to you
(I dedicate, I dedicate
I dedicate, I dedicate, oh yeah
I dedicate, I dedicate
I dedicate to-)

They throwin' dirt on my old name
Only gets worse when you know things
You don't see the perks of this whole thing
But you get real on a pill and I like it
You just like my sidekick, I just wanna ride
Fulfill all your desires
Keep you in the front, never in the back
And never on the side, uh (yeah)

You a real ass woman and I like it
I don't wanna fight it

Look, you know I'm a rider, nothin' left to hide
Your other nigga tired
Talk about you like, you never leave his side
But I don't really buy it
Me I'm movin' quiet, all the things we're tryin'
Let's just keep it private (don't say anything)
Tell me should I cut these other girls right out of my life?
'Cause we never decided
Tell me how you feel inside

You a real ass woman and I like it (yeah)
Dedicate to you
I need you inspired, I need you excited
I don't wanna fight it

Yeah-yeah
I figure out you, you figure out me
We both a different breed
I'm followin' your lead, I ask you what you need
You say, "A guarantee"
I mean you say that like it's easy
You never believe me
Told you I got Zs for these other girls sleepin' on 'em
Girl, I'm sleepy
Sometimes I'm so indecisive

But you a real ass woman and I like it
I don't wanna fight it

I give you my fortune
I dedicate, I dedicate
I dedicate, I dedicate
I dedicate, dedicate, dedicate
I dedicate to you
I dedicate
This song's for you
I dedicate
I give you my all




I give you my voice
This song's for you
