Nothings Into Somethings
Drake Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You'll hear some slow tracks, you know what I'm sayin'?
With, like, some pimpin' to it, or somethin'
That you can relax, pop a top to, or somethin'?

Big cup of Act', I'm drowsy
I'm still posted up where you first found me
Did I just read that you just got engaged on me?
I heard from your friend, you couldn't even tell me

Or better yet wait on me

Nah, sha-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Sha-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Can't just leave it off that way
Sha-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
Sha-nah-nah-nah (nah)
Can't just leave it off that way, nah

Least, do I get an invitation or something?
A statement or something?
Ask about that, you would say it was nothing

But here's another nothing that you made into something
Can't just leave it off that way

Maybe some smooth rap or R&B with a touch of elegance.

That you can relax, pop a top to, or somethin'?
Music for chilling and drinking; the type you kick back to.

Big cup of Act', I'm drowsy
I'm drinking a large cup of purple cough syrup and it's making me feel sleepy.

I'm still posted up where you first found me
I'm still hanging out in the spot where I first met you.

Did I just read that you just got engaged on me?
Wait a minute, did I read that you're engaged now and didn't even tell me?

I heard from your friend, you couldn't even tell me
Your friend had to tell me because you didn't even bother to let me know.

Or better yet wait on me
Wait for me instead of rushing into things.

Nah, sha-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
No, I'm not having that.

Sha-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
I won't let it go that easily.

Can't just leave it off that way
We need to talk to clear things up.

Least, do I get an invitation or something?
Can I at least get an invite to the wedding?

A statement or something?
Can I get some kind of explanation?

Ask about that, you would say it was nothing
Whenever I asked before, you acted like it was no big deal.

But here's another nothing that you made into something
Yet again, you're turning something small into a big deal.

Can't just leave it off that way
We need to talk and clear things up instead of just brushing them aside.
