Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black hearts on my cardagin
At the crib tellin yo girl
That we should order in
And tell G to put
His feet up on the orniment
We just up agaimst
A bunch of rappers
I go harder then damn
I'm so catchering and smarter
Then a lot of these niggas
Swear that coaches brought the starter in ya
And I'm the type to tell
Ya daughter things
I float high
Don't try and cut my water wings
I'm still myself
Suicide bars I kill myself
Charge it to the game
I bill myself
And I don't feel y'all
But I feel myself
Antidoe tell em
I deserve a mazeltoff
I'm rapping like
A sheppard with
The muzzle off
I'm next to blow
"pause"
And I can't hear
The critics talking over
The applause ya
I try to tell em
Future let em kno
Send the haters all my love
X and O
I got black box
Where suggestions go
But I don't really
Give a fuck
Its prolly best you kno
My reality is brighter
Than dreams are
I got ya dreamgirl
Ridin in ya dreamcar
Ya and the visual is stunning
I hope they document
What I'm becoming
Congratulations

so wat you want an
Award or somethin
I'm at the private airport
Bored and something
I see nothing from a far
But I'm far from nothing
Put on yo poker face
Il pull ya card
If yu bluffing
But I ain't with the hard talk
I gotta monopoly
Catch me on my boardwalk
Like I said well pull ya card
And find out your a hallmark
Just know I'm breaking world records
No false start
I don't see ya point
Unless its gun point or something
My deal like weezy first week
One point something
And my verses getting stupider
Wayne if your on mars
Can you pick me up from jupiter
Phone blowing up
So I'm cutting off my cellular
Ima superstar know that on
To my nebula
I will break leg a arm and a fibula
When I break it down
When 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 can never be my ass
"pause"
Again damage y'all
Again y'all pretend
And we are some men
That get it on and in
I die before I lose
Cause I was born to win
If he don't fuck with y'all
Then don't bother him
And yes I fuck this game
But I won't father them
Right
Uh
Its like these days
Man I'm booked and I'm busy
Dad named me drake
Foots named me drizzy
They try and tell me
Il never be nothing but a protege
But if you watched the vma's
Its nothing more to say
I got the key to happiness
And all the copys
Remember this day
Like you bought a poppy
And damn how I get so nice
I done spent it all once
Bout to get rich twice
Surprise party bitch
Now its on and poppin
I always choose dough
Like its 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'm bet what they discussion bout
Hit me at the pffice
Same extension
Consider me the reason
Y'all should pay attention

Wayne: it's crack
A yo drizzy
You should of said that on the hook
You should of been like
"congratulations its crack"
Ya




It's crack congratulations
Ladies and gentelmen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Drake and Lil Wayne's Congratulation talks about their success and how they have worked hard to achieve it. The song starts with the black hearts on the cardigan and how they are impressing their girls, telling G to put his feet up on the ornament. They are facing a tough competition of many rappers, but they are confident in their abilities, and they go harder than any of them. They acknowledge that some coaches brought the start of some rappers, but they rely on their intelligence and hard work to achieve their success. Drake is the type to tell your daughter things, and he floats high, so nobody should try to cut his water wings. He is still himself and raps like a shepherd with the muzzle off, and he's next to blow.


In their success, they still face criticism, but they can't hear the critics as the applause is too loud. They send their haters all their love and got a black box where suggestions go, but they don't really care. Their reality is brighter than their dreams, and they got their dream girls riding in their dream car. The visuals are stunning, and they hope everything they are becoming is documented. The song ends with both of them saying congratulations on their success.
