Ransom
Drake (Feat. Lil' Wayne) Lyrics

Yea
Yes, it's me, Drake

It's drizzy baby
I'm referring to myself as Drizzy, my nickname

You already know what it is
You already know who I am

It's the first time I'm high
I'm feeling the effects of being intoxicated for the first time

It's the first time I smoked in like 3 months
I haven't smoked in a long time and this is my first time in three months

I'm sorry momma I had to do it to 'em
Apologizing to my mother for indulging in smoking

Forty I see you
Acknowledging and addressing my friend named Forty

Oh I see you homie
Showing recognition to my friend

I stay late tonight right
I plan on staying out late tonight

You know what happen when I stay late, heh
Implying that something interesting or exciting happens when I stay out late

Yea
Yes, once again reiterating my presence as Drake

Boy wonder
Referring to my friend, Boy Wonder

I swear its like this every single time
Stating that this situation happens consistently

Toronto I got you
I am representing and supporting my hometown, Toronto

I got us
I have our best interests in mind

Yea
Yes, emphasizing my agreement or affirmation

I'm a hard guy to get along wit
I can be difficult to get along with

Get on a song wit
Collaborate on a track with me

Where shit be going right
In situations where things are going well

Well I just flip it to the wrong shit
I tend to turn situations sour or negative

The team that I belong to
Referring to the group of people that I associate myself with

Tha artists I put on wit
The artists that I have helped promote and support

Don't ever ask for nothin cause them niggaz got they own shit
My artists are independent and don't rely on me for support

Me 'n Weezy like a mouthful of hot peppers
Me and Lil Wayne are a force to be reckoned with

Black Ferrari with the red seats
Describing the style of my car

I call it playin checkers
I'm comparing driving my car to playing a game of checkers

I'm never doing verses
I don't just rap verses

I'm forever giving lectures
I provide thought-provoking and educational messages through my music

If you're tryna meet with money
If you're looking to make connections in the industry

I'd be happy to connect ya
I can help you make those connections

Life is, better than its ever been
I am currently living my best life

Scheduling million dollar meetings with the president
Arranging important and valuable meetings with influential people

Someone cut the lights on
Requesting for the lights to be turned on

Where is Thomas Edison
Asking about the whereabouts of the famous inventor

Got a new condo watch me as I settle in
Showing off my new condominium and getting comfortable

I deserve a MTV show for me and my people
I believe I should have a television show on MTV featuring me and my crew

And if you tryna zone I got a whole swisha sweet full
If you want to relax and chill, I can provide you with a rolled joint

Rappers are liars and they women are deceitful
I believe that most rappers are dishonest and their partners are unfaithful

Adding till they subtract me I never be a equal
While others are trying to gain fame, I will always stand out and never be their equal

Last place Drizzy is the nigga in the lead now
Even though I was previously underestimated, I am now leading the pack

Weezy told me just write every single thing you need down
Lil Wayne advised me to write down all my desires and goals

Then he got it for me and I'm happy as can be now
He then fulfilled those desires and now I am extremely pleased

Bout to start ballin' like I'm coming off ofa rebound
I am about to succeed greatly, akin to making a rebound in basketball

And I should have the most bragging rights
I have achieved so much that I have the right to boast

Because a nigga spit crack, bag it tight
I am known for delivering incredible rap verses

Hate when rappers say they tryna get they swagger right
I dislike when artists claim to be working on improving their style

Cause I done came wit mo' fire than a dragon fight
I have produced more fire and heat in my music than a dragon's fight

Fuck you pussy ass hater you should do you
I don't care about your negative opinions, focus on yourself

You ain't heard of me then you should go and get a Blue's Clue
If you haven't heard of me, you are out of touch and need to do some research

Oops I mean a red clue
Actually, scratch that, go and get a clue (red, not blue)

Wayne's here, su WOO
Lil Wayne is present and represents his affiliation with the Bloods (a gang)

Bet he felt that like the end of a pool cue
I'm confident that Lil Wayne felt my words like the sharp end of a pool cue

But I ain't banging I ain't waving no flag
I don't engage in gang activity or claim any affiliation

I'm ATF but they ain't seein no badge
I may bring the heat like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, but I'm not displaying a badge

Its heartbreak Drake I hate to see 'em so sad
As Heartbreak Drake, it pains me to witness others feeling down or heartbroken

I could son you, see a little me in yo' dad
I could easily outshine you and show similarities between myself and your father

I'm the same yellow boy that used to play up on degrassi
I'm the same young man who acted in the TV show 'Degrassi'

Can pocket twenty thousand to be anywhere they ask me
I can earn a significant amount of money just by making appearances

Cash like Johnny, Banks like Ashley
I have a lot of cash, similar to Johnny Cash, and financial stability like Ashley Banks from 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air'

Burning like a Camel Light
I'm smoking a light cigarette brand called Camel

Stupid hoe ash me
I'm insulting an unintelligent woman by comparing her to ashes

But don't ask me shit about me
Don't inquire about my personal life

And kno the game really ain't shit without me
Recognize that the music industry wouldn't be the same without me

She might have to pay me but I dick her down free
She may have to compensate me financially, but I satisfy her sexually for free

Wanna know if its the truth then pull the zipper down and see
If you want to confirm my claims, you can check for yourself

' no homo though
I want to clarify that my previous statement had no sexual connotations

Yea
Yes, reiterating my presence

Ummm
Moment of contemplation or hesitation

I'm goin then
I'm leaving now

Drizzy I got us
Referring to myself as Drizzy and ensuring that I will take care of us

This is my promise
A commitment to fulfill my promise

Ima bring that barrel to them bitches
I will bring my talent and skills to impress the ladies

Eye liners and what I make up will fuck up your skin
The lines and content of my music will have a profound impact on you

I pick the buck up and buck buck and buck buck again
I grab the gun and repeatedly shoot it

I will butt fuck your friend then suck up her twin
Using explicit language to describe a sexual encounter

I put the buck up to him then buck buck and buck buck and buck buck again
Threatening someone with a gun and shooting it multiple times

Suck nut you duck fuck your unlovin kin
Insulting someone's family in a vulgar manner

Now don't rub it in
Don't take pleasure in someone's misfortune

Like Lubriderm on a new tattoo I had to
Comparing my actions to applying lotion on a fresh tattoo

Kick my princess up out my castle dad who
Getting rid of a woman who is trying to claim ownership over me

Never had that dude
I never had a father figure like that

Always had a black tool
I always had a gun

Even when I was at school 'cause bullies aren't bulletproof
I carried a weapon even during my school days because bullies can be dangerous

Red scarf hoodie too
Wearing a red scarf and a hooded sweatshirt

Probably ain't as hood as you
I may not have the same street credibility as you

Stupid motherfucker the only thing in the hood is you
Insulting someone by implying that they are the only problem in the neighborhood

I do everything good as you no I do everything better
I can do everything that you do, but I do it even better

I get paid for every letter ABC etcetera
I earn money for every word and letter I use in my lyrics

Fetch a bone, like a dog motherfucker
I'm dismissing someone's attempt at provoking me, comparing it to a dog fetching a bone

I am goin for you neck in a sec intercept
I am prepared to attack and outsmart you quickly

And my exit comin up yup
I am leaving soon

Ya I am headed for the buck like
I am heading towards making a lot of money

Buck buck again might fly to LA and just fuck Karrine
I might travel to Los Angeles and engage in sexual activities with Karrine Steffans

Nah fuck Karrine lets get bucks again
Actually, forget about Karrine, let's focus on making more money

And fuckin spend them bucks and then just fuck Karrine
After making money, I will indulge in sexual activities with Karrine

If I told you ima do it I did it
If I promised to do something, I followed through and accomplished it

Got my city on my fitted
I represent and show pride for my city by wearing a hat with its logo

Bout to pop a lets get it
I'm about to open a bottle and get things going

Lets get it motherfucker what you waitin on
Let's start the party, what are you waiting for?

It is about a minute past piss and I'm bout to get shitted
It has been a long time since I last went to the bathroom, and I'm about to go now

I'm wit it if money is the it you want me with
I am in if you want me to be involved as long as there is money

And ill probably just spit on the chick you won't be with
I may disrespect the woman you're with by rapping about her

And I hate a bony bitch only like em only thick
I don't find skinny girls attractive, I prefer thick ones

And I own hiphop if you don't spit I'm gon evict
I dominate the hip-hop genre, and if you're not a skilled rapper, I will dismiss you

And I just sold a lot of property to a buyer
I recently made a significant sale to a buyer

And I think his name was kinda like drake drizzy rogers or
The buyer's name sounded similar to a combination of my own names

Drizzy drake rogers I'm too busy to play father
I am too focused on my career to be involved in fatherhood

And when it comes to the game I'm to willing to play harder
I am always willing to put in more effort than others in the music industry

So harder I go there he go
I continue to push myself harder and harder

They chant mvp when I shoot a free-throw, CEO
People cheer for me as if I am the Most Valuable Player in basketball when I shoot a free throw, and I am also the CEO of my own brand

Jazz what it do
Addressing Jazz, a friend or acquaintance, asking how they are doing

The haters on their face and then their ass is a shoe
The haters are embarrassed and humiliated

Faster than you
I am quicker or superior to you

Badder than you
I am more skilled or talented than you

Radder than you, etcetera
I am cooler or more awesome than you, and so on

I told you I get paid by the letter like
I already mentioned that I earn money based on the words and letters I use in my lyrics

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXY
The entire alphabet, emphasizing that I make money from every letter

ZZ top, yes he rock
Referring to the rock band ZZ Top and their influence

And me and drizzy both wrote on detox
Both me and Drizzy contributed to the writing of the album 'Detox'

That was just a foot note
That was just a minor detail or side note

How long can he could go
How long can he continue his success

Wonderin when he stop'
People are curious about when I will stop

Bitch when the beat stop
I will stop rapping when the music stops

So ima keep rockin
So I will continue to perform and entertain

Till the sheet rock bend
Until the walls of the venue collapse or bend

In the heat I singe
I thrive and flourish in heated situations

Burnt skin
Referring to the possibility of getting burned, either metaphorically or literally

THE END
The conclusion of the song

Young mula baby, un huh
Referring to the Young Money crew and Lil Wayne's catchphrase
