Congratulations
Drake (ft. Lil' Wayne) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the crib tellin' your girl that we should order in
And tell G to put his feet up on the ottoman
We just up against a bunch of rappers I go harder than
Damn, I'm so Catriona smarter than
A lot of these niggas swear the coach just brought the starter in
Yeah, and I'm the type to tell your daughter things
I float high, don't try and cut my water wings
Suicide bars, I kill myself
Charge it to the game, I bill myself
And I don't feel y'all, but I feel myself
Aunty Doe, tell 'em I deserve a mazel tov
I'm rappin' like a Shepherd with the muzzle off
I'm next to blow, pause
And I can't hear the critics talkin' over the applause
Yeah, I tried to tell 'em, Future let 'em know
Send the haters all my love, X and O
I got a black box where suggestions go
But I don't really give a fuck, it's probably best you know
My reality is brighter than your dreams are
I got your dream girl, ridin' in your dream car
Yeah, and the visual is stunnin'
I hope they document what I'm becomin'
Congratulations
So what you want, an award or somethin'?
I'm at the private airport boardin' somthin'
I see nothing from afar but I'm far from nothing
Put on your poker face, I'll pull your card if you're bluffin'
But I ain't with the hard talk
I got a Monopoly, catch me on my boardwalk
Like I said, we pull your card and find out you're a Hallmark
Just know I'm breakin' world records, no false start
I don't see your point unless it's gunpoint or somthin'
My deal like Weezy first week, one point somthin'
And my verses gettin' stupider
Wayne if you're on Mars, can you pick me up from Jupiter?
Phone blowin' up, so I'm cuttin' off my cellular
I'm a superstar, note it onto my nebula
I will break a leg, break a arm and a fibula
When I break it down, when I, when I break it down
I hug and kiss the drum kick
I put the beat in my back pocket and just sit
But, you could never beat my ass, pause
Again, dammit y'all, again
Y'all, pretend that we are, some men that get it on, and in
I'll die before I lose, 'cause I was born to win
If he don't fuck wit y'all, then don't bother him
And yes, I'll fuck this game but I won't father them
Right, uh
It's like, these days man, I'm booked and I'm busy
Dad named me Drake, Footz named me Drizzy
They tried to tell me I'd never be nothin' but a protege
But if you watched the VMAs, there's nothing more to say
I got the key to happiness and all the copies
Remember this day like you bought a poppy
And damn, how I get so nice?
I just spent it all once, 'bout to get rich twice
Surprise party, bitch, now it's on and poppin'
I always choose dough like it's my only option
'Cause money always knows best
Chain snatch flow, they say, "Get it off yo' chest"
And I'm what all the fuss about
And if they talkin', I bet I'm what they discussion 'bout
Hit me at the office, same extension
Consider me the reason y'all should pay attention
It's crack!
Ayo Drizzy, you shoulda said that on the hook
You shoulda been like, "Congratulations, it's crack!"
Yeah
It's crack, haha, congratulations
Ladies and gentlemen!
The song 'Congratulations' is a rap song performed by Drake, featuring Lil' Wayne. The song is about their success in the music industry and how they have surpassed other rappers who are up against them. The first verse mentions Drake's black hearts on his cardigan while he's at home with a girl, telling her they should order food in. He then brags about being smarter and going harder than the other rappers in the game. The second verse is performed by Lil' Wayne, who talks about his success, his crazy deals, and his ability to break a leg, arm, and fibula just to win.
The chorus, 'Congratulations,' is where both rappers celebrate their success, and the song ends with Lil' Wayne saying they should have said, 'Congratulations, it's crack!' on the hook. The song is an ode to their success and hard work, and they're telling their haters to keep sending the hate, they're just fueling their fire. The song's overall message is about how they've been able to achieve their dreams, go beyond their limits, and prove their worth in the music industry.

And I can't hear the critics talkin' over the applause
My critics' negative comments can't get in the way of my success

I warned everyone about my greatness, like Future
Send the haters all my love, X and O
I'm showing my haters love (sarcasm)
I got a black box where suggestions go
I don't care about other people's opinions
But I don't really give a fuck, it's probably best you know
I don't care what anyone thinks, and you should know that
My reality is brighter than your dreams are
My real life is better than your wildest dreams

My life is amazing to see

I want people to see how great I'm becoming
So what you want, an award or somethin'?
I don't understand what you want from me
I'm at the private airport boardin' somthin'
I'm boarding a private plane
I see nothing from afar but I'm far from nothing
I'm still achieving greatness, even if it doesn't seem like it from far away
Put on your poker face, I'll pull your card if you're bluffin'
Don't lie to me, I'll call you out if you're lying
But I ain't with the hard talk
I don't like to argue or fight
I got a Monopoly, catch me on my boardwalk
I have a lot of money, like in the game Monopoly
Like I said, we pull your card and find out you're a Hallmark
If we investigate, we'll find out you're not as tough as you seem
Just know I'm breakin' world records, no false start
I'm really breaking records, not just starting strong
I don't see your point unless it's gunpoint or somthin'
I only listen if it's really important or life-threatening
My deal like Weezy first week, one point somthin'
I'm making a lot of money, just like Lil Wayne did in his first week
And my verses gettin' stupider
My lyrics are getting better and better
Wayne if you're on Mars, can you pick me up from Jupiter?
I'm so famous, even Lil Wayne couldn't keep up with me
Phone blowin' up, so I'm cuttin' off my cellular
My phone is ringing so much, I need to turn it off
I'm a superstar, note it onto my nebula
I'm a huge star, like a galaxy
I will break a leg, break a arm and a fibula
I'll work really hard and do whatever it takes to succeed
When I break it down, when I, when I break it down
When I explain it in detail
I hug and kiss the drum kick
I love the beat of the music
I put the beat in my back pocket and just sit
I don't even need to try hard, because the beat is so good
But, you could never beat my ass, pause
You can't defeat me
Again, dammit y'all, again
I'm repeating myself because I'm so great
Y'all, pretend that we are, some men that get it on, and in
Let's pretend we're having sex
I'll die before I lose, 'cause I was born to win
I will never give up because I was meant to succeed
If he don't fuck wit y'all, then don't bother him
If he doesn't like you, don't talk to him
And yes, I'll fuck this game but I won't father them
I'll dominate the rap game, but won't teach others how to do it
It's like, these days man, I'm booked and I'm busy
I'm really busy these days
Dad named me Drake, Footz named me Drizzy
My parents and friends gave me different nicknames
They tried to tell me I'd never be nothin' but a protege
People said I wouldn't be successful
But if you watched the VMAs, there's nothing more to say
If you saw me at the VMAs, you'd know how great I am
I got the key to happiness and all the copies
I know the secret to being happy and I want to share it with others
Remember this day like you bought a poppy
Remember today like it's an important holiday
And damn, how I get so nice?
How did I get so good at what I do?
I just spent it all once, 'bout to get rich twice
I spent a lot of money, but I'm about to make even more
Surprise party, bitch, now it's on and poppin'
I'm throwing a party and it's going to be amazing
I always choose dough like it's my only option
I always choose money over anything else
'Cause money always knows best
Money is always the most important thing
Chain snatch flow, they say, "Get it off yo' chest"
My rap flow is so good, people tell me to brag about it
And I'm what all the fuss about
People are talking about me because I'm so great
And if they talkin', I bet I'm what they discussion 'bout
If people are talking, it's probably about me
Hit me at the office, same extension
Call me at work using the same phone number
Consider me the reason y'all should pay attention
I'm the reason you should be paying attention to the rap game
It's crack!
It's amazing!
Ayo Drizzy, you shoulda said that on the hook
Hey Drake, you should have included that in the chorus
You shoulda been like, "Congratulations, it's crack!"
You should have said, "Congratulations, it's amazing!"
Yeah
Yeah
It's crack, haha, congratulations
It's amazing, congratulations
Ladies and gentlemen!
Everyone listen up!
