Drake 11 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we're going home
Just hold on we're going home
It's hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we're going home (home)

I got my eyes on you
You're everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly
I can't get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your hot love and emotion endlessly

Cause you're a good girl and you know it (oh yeah)
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be

So just hold on we're going home (going home)
Just hold on we're going home (going home)
It's hard to do these things alone (things alone)
Just hold on we're going home (going home, going home)

You're the girl
You're the one
Gave you everything I love
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something, baby

You're the girl
You're the one
Gave you everything I love
I think there's something, baby
I think there's something, baby

Cause you're a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you're a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Oh just hold on we're going home (going home)
Just hold on we're going home (going home)
It's hard to do these things alone (things alone)




Just hold on we're going home (going home, going home)
Hold on

Overall Meaning

"We're going home" is a love ballad by Canadian rapper Drake from his third studio album, Nothing Was the Same (2013). The song is a departure from Drake's usual rap style and is characterized by its smooth vocals and retro R&B sound. The lyrics are a declaration of love to a woman, with Drake conveying his desire for her and his intention to take care of her.


The song opens with the line "I got my eyes on you, you're everything that I see," which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. Drake is captivated by the woman and wants to be with her, as expressed in lines like "I want your hot love and emotion endlessly." He acknowledges that she is a "good girl" who acts differently around him, and he knows who she could be if she were with him. The chorus, "Just hold on we're going home," is a reassurance that they will be together and that he will take care of her.


The song has an airy, dreamlike quality to it, which is reinforced by the music video's retro aesthetic. The video features Drake and his crew as they rescue a woman from a rival gang, and it's full of nods to classic 80s action movies.


Overall, "Hold On We're Going Home" is a romantic ode to a woman, with Drake expressing his desire to take care of her and protect her. It's a departure from his usual hardcore rap style and showcases his versatility as an artist.
