Drake Feat Aaliyah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello? Yeah, I just walked in
Yeah, I'm good, you still working?
Tonight, right now? Did I go out?
Yeah, I went out, I went
I went to a couple of clubs
I never went to bed, shit
Wine or water
You said something about a cold drink?
I don't know, I'm delirious

Cups of the Rosé
Bitches in my old phone
I should call one and go home
I've been in this club too long
The woman that I would try
Is happy with a good guy
But I've been drinkin' so much
That I'ma call her anyway, and say

Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he's not around, oh oh

(Are you drunk right now?)
I'm just sayin' you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me

Uh, cups of that XO
All my people been here
I see all of her friends here
Guess she don't have the time to kick it no more
Flight's in the morning
What you doin' that's so important?
I've been drinkin' so much
That I'ma call you anyway, and say

Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up, I know he's not around, oh oh

(Are you drunk right now?)
I'm just sayin' you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me

I think I'm addicted to naked pictures
And sitting talking 'bout bitches that we almost had
I don't think I'm conscious of makin' monsters
Outta the women I sponsor 'til it all goes bad
But, shit, it's all good
We threw a party, yeah, we threw a party
Bitches came over, yeah, we threw a party
I was just calling, 'cause they were just leavin'
Talk to me, please, don't have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women that's livin' off me
Paid for their flights and hotels, I'm ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won't say no names
After a while, girl, they all seem the same
I've had sex four times this week, I'll explain
Havin' a hard time adjustin' to fame
Sprite in that mixture
I've been talkin' crazy, girl, I'm lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on
"Fuck, I'm sorry"

(Are you drunk right now?)
I'm just sayin' you could do better
Tell me, have you heard that lately?
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin' only if you make me

You not gonna come?
I guess I'm 'bout to just, kick it here then

Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said, "You niggas crazy"
I hope no one heard that, yeah
I hope no one heard that
'Cause if they did, we gon' be in some trouble, yeah




If they did we gon' be in some trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, oh, ohh

Overall Meaning

The song “Marvins Room” by Drake, featuring Teyanna Taylor and JoJo is a ballad about a man who has been drinking and is now calling his ex-girlfriend. He explains that he has been out all night, visiting clubs and drinking excessively. He confesses that he has been delirious and is indecisive about whether he wants a glass of wine or water. Cup after cup of Rose has brought back memories of old friendships and relationships. He feels that he has been in the club too long and should go home, however, his excessive drinking has made him emotional, leading him to call his ex-girlfriend.


He hints at the fact that the woman he once dated is now happy with someone else. While he is aware of her current relationship status, he chooses to call her anyways and confess his feelings. The man is aware that he is not in the best condition to make a decision, given his intoxicated state but he still wants to vent his emotions. Throughout the song, there are moments when he attempts to convince his ex-girlfriend that she needs him and that the man she’s currently dating is not suitable for her. He then opens up about his addiction to naked pictures and how he sometimes talks about women he almost dated with his friends.


In conclusion, the song “Marvins Room” is a catchy tune with relatable lyrics about love, drinking, and heartbreak. It portrays the mindset and behavior of someone who is overly emotional due to excessive drinking. The lyrics show that the excessive intake of alcohol can lead to bad decisions and lead to false regret.

If Aaliyah's family ever works out their issues with her estate and start releasing her music, it would be awesome if they included you on the project. You've done so much to keep her music alive :-)
