Virginia Beach
Drake Lyrics

I bet your mother would be proud of you, ooh (you, you, you, oh)
I bet our mother would be proud of you, oh

I know what you say
I understand what you're saying

You say I coulda treated you better or whatever, but
You claim that I could have treated you better, but

I don't know, I think I did alright
I believe I did fine

Know what I'm sayin'?
Do you understand what I'm saying?

And you know how you get
You know how you tend to behave

Drawin' conclusions like you got a Parsons degree or somethin'
Making assumptions as if you're highly educated

I coulda treated you better, that's crazy
The idea that I could have treated you better is absurd

Nope
Not true

Lean in, lean in soda, Fanta, fantasizin'
Immersing yourself in fantasies and daydreams

That's not love you're in, it's more like compromisin'
What you're experiencing is not love, but rather compromise

I'd move mountains for you, fuck that social climbin'
I would go to great lengths for you, disregarding social status

Lean into me, lean in to me
Embrace me, come closer to me

Pussy, it makin' me tweak, ended up stayin' a week
Your presence is intoxicating, leading me to stay for an extended period

She pretty but ghetto, pretty but rough, just like Virginia Beach
She may have a beautiful appearance, but she also has a wild and tough side, similar to Virginia Beach

I wanna get back to the days that you love me
I desire to return to a time when you loved me

For nothin' but what you could see
Not for any superficial reasons, but for who I am inside

You bust down the Jubilee, I swapped it and made you go factory, wait
You bought an expensive piece of jewelry, but I exchanged it for something simpler

You put some pain in me, I wanna get back to the major league
You caused me some heartache, and I want to move on to better things

She wanna grab on the throttle, I wanna get back in the driver's seat
She wants control, but I want to take control again

That nigga spend his last check on your car
Some guy spent all his money on your car

And you got it and drove it to me
And you brought it to me, showing your loyalty

Ask me if I coulda treated you better, but no
You inquire if I could have treated you better, but the answer is no

Lean in soda, Fanta, fantasizin'
Indulging in dreams and fantasies

That's not love you're in, it's more like compromisin'
What you're in isn't love, it's more like settling

I'd move mountains for you, fuck that social climbin'
I would do anything for you, not caring about social status

Lean into me, lean into me
Get closer to me, embrace me

Our texts feelin' like a fencin' match
Our text conversations feel like an ongoing battle

Your temper shorter and I'm sensin' that
You seem to have a shorter temper, and I can sense it

You keep talkin' 'bout some, 'Period'
You keep insisting on saying 'Period'

But where you 'bout to end the sentence at?
But where are you about to end that sentence?

'Cause you been goin' off on my ass, then I tell your ass where I'm at
Because you've been angry at me, then I inform you of my whereabouts

And you act like I'm not supposed to mention that
And you act as if I shouldn't bring that up

I introduce you to my friends' girlfriends
I introduce you to the girlfriends of my friends

You ain't interested in makin' friends
You don't seem interested in making new friends

Talkin' 'bout you wanna cook for a nigga in the kitchen, can you make amends?
You talk about wanting to cook for a man, can you make things right?

Least we know you got the cakes on you
At least we know you have a good physique

Girl, you should prolly stick to bakin' then
Maybe you should stick to baking instead

Workin' this crop like the rubber chute
Working on this relationship like a bumpy ride

I swear that I'm not tryna smother you
I promise, I'm not trying to suffocate you

I got to know a whole other you, but let's not forget how I discovered you
I got to know a different side of you, but let's not disregard how we first met

We ain't even gotta mention that, any nigga try and trouble you
We don't even need to discuss that, any guy who troubles you

He gon' find out that it's on site like W-W-W
He will realize that there will be immediate consequences

On site like dot-com, put a baby in you, you a hot mom
I'm ready to commit and start a family with you

Yeah, ask me if I coulda treated you better, but no
Yes, ask me if I could have treated you better, but the answer is no

Not at all, not at all
Absolutely not

I bet our mother would be proud of you, ooh (mother would be proud)
I believe our mother would be proud of you, oh
