Make Me Proud
Drake Lyrics

I like a woman with a future and a past
I respect a woman with a history and goals for her future.

A little attitude problem all good, it'll make the shit last
A confident and assertive nature helps maintain healthy relationships.

Don't make it too easy, girl, don't take it too fast
Take your time, don't rush into things.

Yeah, that's it right there, that's it, do it just like that
You're doing great, keep going.

Only you can do it just like that
You possess unique qualities that make you special and irreplaceable.

And I love it when your hair still wet 'cause you just took a shower
I find you attractive in any state, even when you're not trying.

Runnin' on a treadmill and only eating salad
You're dedicated and disciplined in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Sound so smart like you graduated college
You're intelligent and well-spoken, as if you have a college degree.

Like you went to Yale but you probably went to Howard
You have the intellect of a Yale graduate, but you likely attended Howard University.

Weekend in Miami trying to study by the pool
You take every opportunity to learn and better yourself, even on vacation.

Couple things due but you always get it done
You balance your responsibilities well and always meet deadlines.

Might have been a time when I loved her too
I may have had feelings for someone else in the past, but now I love you.

But you take that away and you've always been the one
Even if past relationships did exist, you were always the right one for me.

One, I wonder why the moon look nice, girl
I'm in awe of your beauty, like I am of the moon in the sky.

Maybe it's just right for the night
You and the moon deserve to be admired in the night sky, like a perfect pair.

You said niggas coming on too strong, girl
Men are trying too hard to be with you.

They want you in their life as a wife
They want to make you their wife.

That's why you want to have no sex, why you wanna protest
You're avoiding relationships and sexual advances because men are too pushy.

Why you want to fight for your right
You're standing up for your autonomy and making your own choices.

'Cause you don't love them boys
You're not interested in these men because you don't love them.

Pussy run everything, fuck that noise
Women should be in charge and make their own decisions, disregard male dominance.

I know things get hard, but girl, you got it, girl, you got it, there you go
I understand life can be tough, but you have the capability to overcome it.

Can't you tell by how they looking at you everywhere you go?
You draw attention and admiration wherever you go.

Wondering what's on your mind, it must be hard to be that fine
People are curious about what goes through your head and it can be difficult to deal with attention due to your beauty.

When all these mothafuckas wanna waste your time
Men are trying to waste your time with empty promises and relationships.

It's just amazing, girl, and all I can say is
You're incredible, I'm in awe of you.

I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so proud of you
I'm incredibly proud of you.

Everything's adding up, you've been through hell and back
You've been through a lot of tough experiences.

That's why you're bad as fuck and you-
Despite everything you've been through, you're still amazing.

B-b-b-b-bet I am
You can bet on me to be amazing as well.

All of them bitches I'm badder than
I'm better than all those other women.

Mansions in Malibu, Babylon
I have luxurious homes in Malibu and Babylon.

But I never mention everything I dabble in
I don't feel the need to brag about all my accomplishments and ventures.

And I always ride slow when I'm straddlin'
I enjoy taking my time and savoring the moment.

And my shit's so wet you gotta paddle in
I'm really good at what I do, you have to work to keep up with me.

Gotta r-r-row, gotta row ya boat
We have to work hard to get where we want to go in life.

It's Pink Friday Records and OVO
I'm associated with Pink Friday Records and OVO.

Done did the pop tour, I'm the realest still
I've done successful pop music tours and I still remain authentic.

The best legal team so the deals is ill
I have the best legal team and my business deals are exceptional.

It's MAC, OPI, and a fragrance too
I'm involved with MAC, OPI, and a fragrance line.

Apparel, I'm dominating every avenue
My clothing line is successful and I'm thriving in all aspects of the fashion industry.

Cobblestone, good view, little gravel too
I'm enjoying a scenic and high-end environment.

Gotta pay for the entourage travel too
I have to bear the costs of my team's travel expenses.

'Cause I'm fl-fl-fly I'm flying high
I'm amazing, and excelling in my career.

Ain't got time to talk, just hi and bye, bitch
I'm very busy, and can only say quick greetings and goodbyes.

But baby, if you ask me to take a break
If you need me to take a break, I'll do it for you.

I'll give it all away, don't care what the people say
I'm willing to give up everything, ignoring what others may say.

I'll be a million, billion, trillion miles away (ha-ah)
I'll be extremely distant, both emotionally and physically.

He asked my sign, I said a Sag'
Someone asked for my astrological sign, and I replied Sagittarius.

I'm a star, sheriff badge
I'm a celebrity, recognized and important.

What's the point if I'm guarding?
What's the point of being a star if I'm confined to myself?

Double D up, hoes, Dolly Parton
I have a large bust like Dolly Parton.

And all I can say is
I can only express my admiration.

I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so I'm so proud of you
I'm incredibly proud of you.

Everything's adding up, you've been through hell and back
You've survived many difficult experiences.

That's why you're bad as fuck and you know you are
You're gorgeous and you're aware of it.
