UP ALL NIGHT
Drake f/Nicki Minaj Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kush rolled, glass full, I prefer the better things
Niggas with no money act like money isn't everything
I'm havin' a good time, they just trying to ruin it
Shout out to the fact that I'm the youngest nigga doing it
Cap on, brim bent, Denzel, every time
She ain't tryna pop that shit for pimp, okay, well nevermind
I, I, I tried to told you, Drizzy still ain't nothin' nice
Bracelet saying "you should quit", cars saying "fuck your life"
Okay now we outta here, toodles to you bitches
And if you dolled up, I got the voodoo for you bitches, yeah
I'm busy gettin' rich, I don't want trouble
I made enough for two niggas, boy, stunt double
Fame is like a drug that I've taken too much of
But I never ever trip, just peace, happiness and love
I got money in these jeans, so they fit me kinda snug
Plus the game is in my pocket, nigga this is what I does

I'm about whatever man, fuck what they be talkin' about
They opinion doesn't count, we the only thing that matters
Aww, so we do it how we do it
All up in your face man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night, whole crew's in here
'Cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year
Aww, man I love my team
Man I love my team, I would die for them niggas, aww

Drizzy say get her, I'ma get her
I got the kind of money, that make a broke bitch bitter
I got that kinda, wait, wait, fixate
Which bitch, you know made a million off a mixtape?
That was just a keepsake, bought the president
The Louis presidential briefcase, never been a cheapskate
We got the Hawks, I ain't talkin' about the Peach State
Man, for Pete's sake, scratch thatβ€”sweepstakes
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha) Fuck I look like, ho?
I look like "yes" and you like "no"
I'm a bad bitch, I ain't never been a mixed breed
On a diet, but I'm doin' donuts in a 6-speed
M6 in front of M2
I see a lot of rap bitches on the menu
But I collect 100 thou' at the venue
And pop bottles with my team, Young Money 'til the death of me

I'm about whatever man, fuck what they be talkin' about
They opinion doesn't count, we the only thing that matters
Aww, so we do it how we do it
All up in your face man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night, whole crew's in here
'Cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year
Aww, man I love my team
Man I love my team, I would die for them niggas, aww

I mean, we can't even rock them shoes
If it don't got a comma on the price tag, you know?
I mean, I mean but then again
Who, who looks at the price tag, you know?
Aww yeah we in this bitch (uhh)
Aww, aww, aww
Oh yeah we in this bitch
Aww, aww, aww

I'm about whatever man, fuck what they be talkin' about
They opinion doesn't count, we the only thing that matters
Aww, so we do it how we do it
All up in your face man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night, whole crew's in here
'Cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year
Aww, man I love my team
Man I love my team, I would die for them niggas, aww

I'm about whatever man, fuck what they be talkin' about
They opinion doesn't count, we the only thing that matters
Aww, so we do it how we do it
All up in your face man, I hate to put you through it
I be up all night, whole crew's in here
'Cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year




Aww, man I love my team
Man I love my team, I would die for them niggas, oh

I still remember the first time listening to this. A hidden Drake gem, when he and Nicki were both coming up. The beat is still awesome.

@robertrussell9680

Still one of my favorites!

"I'm a bad bitch, never been a mixed breed, on a diet but I'm doin' donuts in a six speed." That line is about as good as they come.

@lalaland9646

What does that first line mean?

@purity7073

@@lalaland9646 mixed bred dogs are considered lower in bloodline lineage than pure bred dogs, if you want a purebred dog it's gonna cost you, even though people pay top dollar for mixed bred dogs nowadays. so when she calls herself a bad "bitch" (bitch is a female dog) she's saying she's pure bad bitch, no other "mixes" involved.
