Tell Me
Drake Feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Girl, I hate the fast talking
Fast walking, fast fucking, fast loving oh
Wanna move slow
Got a little liquor in my system
Always been friends underestimating how far
That that shit go leave a little room for me
Leave a little room for your imagination
You should just take time with me
Nowadays there's time but not anticipation

Oh oh oh what is?
What is? What is? What is
Different about me? Oh
Tell me what is? What is?
Can't keep you off of me
Nowadays you can't get enough of me
Loving me, loving me, loving me more
You loving me, love when you loving me
Oh yeah, yeah

What is? What is? What is? What is
Different about me? Oh
Tell me what is? What is?
Can't keep you off of me

Nowadays you can't get enought of me
Loving me, loving me, loving me more




You loving me, love when you loving me
Oh yeah yeah

Tell the young high school kids keep dreamin', Because they sure do come true

This that fuckin' mob shit, this that fuckin' player shit
This is the kind of music that represents my lifestyle and persona, as a powerful and successful man.


This that shake a bottle up and bust the top and spray the shit
This is the kind of hype and energetic music that gets people revved up and excited.


Bitches gettin' dugout like where all the fuckin' players sit
Women are flocking to me and my crew like they would to a group of professional athletes.


And like you just got traded, girl You don't know who you're playin' with
Women who try to get involved with me or my crew should know that they are entering a world of power and danger, and should be careful.


Oh yeah, oh yeah, my sound is what up right now I've been down, but I'm up right now
My music is currently hot and popular, and I have had my ups and downs in the past.


Nigga been backstrokin' and breaststrokin' Through that lane that you left open
I have been taking advantage of opportunities that others have missed, and have been swimming through life with ease.


Man I don't give a fuck right now Let a nigga swim in the pussy on the low 'Bout to go drown in the cup right now, holla
I am living carefree and indulging in sex and alcohol without any worries or consequences.


I don't know what it was about you Like blue you left me without a clue (I pictured the fate, is it true?) 'Cause I try to make this shit work (But it seems like is it your feelings You kept them hatin' bitches all in our business) But I just got one question baby, tell me why?
I am confused about why our relationship didn't work out, and wonder if it was because of your emotions or other people interfering.


I Started from the bottom like Drake said, high You the type of nigga gettin' robbed on a blind date, my squad'll Kick in your door where that safe at No Atari, games girl I don't play that If she broke on that nutshell Everything I say I follow (What you talkin' 'bout?) Ummm, Polo shirt, my collar up Drippin' on these hoes Ain't by myself, it's a lot of us Made a little money, still ain't got enough And if you got a nigga dead, put your lighter up Keep my eyes open, don't say nothin' Motor geeked up like a raisin You don't know me, you must mistake me For somebody else But it's somethin' about you that I fell in love with Your ex nigga, fuck him I had to tell her that
I came from humble beginnings and worked my way up to success, while warning others about my ability to protect myself and my possessions. I don't play games and follow through on everything I say. I am stylish and dripping with confidence, surrounded by friends, but still motivated to make more money. If you've lost someone close to you, let's honor them by lighting a candle. I am observant and careful not to reveal too much. I stand out from others and have a certain quality that attracts people to me, even if they have had bad experiences in the past. I am confident and unapologetic about my opinions and decisions.


Question, baby, tell me why One question, baby, tell me why
I am still searching for answers as to why our relationship didn't work out, and want to hear your side of the story.

Lyrics

Doesn't make sense now
Shit just got real, things are getting intense now
I hear you talkin' 'bout we a lot, oh, you speak French now?
Giving me the signs so I gotta take a hint now
I hit you up like "Do you wanna hang right now?"
On the East Side and you know I'm with the gang right now
You say do I own a watch, do I know what time it is right now
It's after 2AM and that's asking a lot of you right now

All she talkin' bout is come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me
All she ever say is come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me

I been up for two whole days thinking what I did to keep you going
Thumbing through the voicemails that you left me telling me where I went wrong
I'll admit I'm sorry when I feel I'm truly sorry
Things change, people change, feelings change too
Never thought the circumstances woulda changed you
You said you never traded no, (Yeah you said that)
And I believed you when they told me don't, (Yeah thought you meant that)
But either way you're still invited and I can't even lie to you

Swear these days all you say is come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me
All she hit me with is come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me

Why you gotta start girl, why you gotta start?
I know we make time for the things that we want
I know you got another nigga tryna play the part
Just 'cause he got a heart don't mean he got heart
Could be standing in a field, and he still ain't in the field
If anything should change then I thought we had a deal
Lately you keep questioning what you get out the deal
Doing things to make me feel the way I make you feel
How hard is it to let you know when I'm coming home
That way you could be prepared, maybe take a couple sick days and not miss pay
I don't even know what things are looking like inside of your place and how it's decorated
This thing is getting one-sided, I can't even lie to you right now

All she talkin' bout is come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me
All she hit me with is come and see me for once
Come and see me for once
You don't ever come to me, you don't ever come to me
