Drake Ft. Future Lyrics

(D. Hill)
Ayy

I should have put you somewhere where no one could find you
Mansion out in the sticks with nothin' around you
Katy, Texas, Dallas, Texas
You know, a different environment (ayy)
'Cause you got desires I know, I know, I know (hey)
'Cause you got desires, I know, I know, I know (hey)
'Cause you got desires

You got that fire and I'm not a liar
You had me down on my knees everyday
Had to talk with Messiah
I'm in that eight and that one and the two
This a different Ferrari, yeah
I tried to pay all your loans off
And cop you a driver, yeah
I had you stayin' too close to the city
You actin' too vulnerable livin' this life
I shoulda moved you away from Houston
Before I copped you all this ice
You wanna be my number one
You're not actin' like the main thing
I let you play my number two
You barely made the second string

I should have put you somewhere where no one could find you
Mansion out in the sticks with nothin' around you
Katy, Texas, Dallas, Texas
You know, a different environment (ayy)

'Cause you got desires, I know, I know, I know (hey)
'Cause you got desires, I know, I know, I know
'Cause you got desires (ayy)

Self-control has never been your thing
Don't think it'll help
If there's ring with a rock in it
Where I'm from they serve, the soda clean (clean, clean)
You come from a city
Where there's lean with the rocks in it
How the fuck you keep so many secrets?
How you goin' vegan but still beefin' with me again?
How the fuck you've seen so many beaches?
Tickets to them places don't come cheap, yeah
I see you back in Turks
Remember who took you there first and don't you forget it
Got you a whip then you got back on your shit
I had to tell Eric, "go get it"
I'm always movin' too fast, the feeling don't last
I feel like you take me for granted
Probably my fault for the way that I handled it

I should have put you somewhere where no one could find you
Mansion out in the sticks with nothin' around you
Katy, Texas, Dallas, Texas
You know, a different environment (ayy)

'Cause you got desires, I know, I know, I know (hey)
'Cause you got desires, I know, I know, I know (ayy)
But you got desires

Ooh, shawty you tried it
Voice gettin' filled with entitlement
Why would you tell me those lies? And
Why would you make it so bold to my face?
Why are your stories all over the place?
Whole lot of secrets friends don't keep safe
Where did your friends all go? (Woo)
I can't solve your problems
You say your problems never needed solvin'
I was too good to you, shoulda stayed solid
Nice guys always finish off where they started
Déjà vu, you wanted things and you got 'em
Déjà vu, I wanted smoke and I got it
Déjà vu, déjà, déjà

Alright, so unfortunately I'm still here
But, you know, if you're here, you're still up
In the building
And if you wanna hear some chune, some music
I think, you know, you found the right spot
I'm outside in an AMG
Right outside, TT




You know, shout out my brother Drake
For, you know, popping this off real quick

Overall Meaning

In the song "Desires," Drake reflects on his relationship with a woman who has unfulfilled longings that he can't seem to satisfy. He wonders if providing her with a different environment, away from the city, would help fulfil her desires. The song speaks to the idea of unattainable desires and the struggles of trying to meet someone's needs when they're unclear about what they want.


The song starts with Drake implying that he regrets not placing the woman he is singing about somewhere where no one could find her. He then proceeds to mention a mansion in the sticks with nothing around her, in Katy or Dallas, Texas. He suggests a different environment for her to help fulfil her desires. He then goes on to describe her desires as a fire-like quality, which he's not lying about. He's tried his best to help her, but she's still unfulfilled.


The song then goes on to mention some problems in their relationship, such as how she expected him to fulfill all her desires and how he took her for granted. He implies that he should have been more attentive to her needs, but it's partly her fault for making him feel like he wasn't enough. The verse ends with Drake expressing his frustration about the situation, and he is still unsure how to handle it.
