Un-Thinkable
Drake feat Alicia Keys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someones gotta take the lead tonight
Who's it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
I know you said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when its meant to be"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually
If we gonna do something 'bout it
We should do it right now
(We should do it right now)
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It is what we make it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away (fly away)
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
The lyrics to Drake and Alicia Keys' "Un-Thinkable" speak about taking the lead in a moment of honesty, and being open and vulnerable about one's feelings. Drake wonders if he can make the person he's addressing his baby, and if doing something that is considered "unthinkable" would make them look crazy. However, he is ready and willing to take the chance, and encourages the other person to do the same.
The song is a beautiful and nuanced meditation on love and the fear of commitment. It speaks to the idea that sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith and do something that may seem crazy or unthinkable in order to experience true happiness and fulfillment. The lyrics are heartfelt and emotional, and both Drake and Alicia Keys' performances are powerful and moving.
In addition to its powerful lyrics and stirring vocals, "Un-Thinkable" is also notable for its unique production. The song features a prominent sample from the 1985 song "Moments in Love" by British band Art of Noise, which provides a haunting and dreamlike backdrop for the lyrics. The song was produced by hip-hop legend Noah "40" Shebib, who has worked extensively with Drake throughout his career.

Moment of honesty
Let's be honest with each other
Someones gotta take the lead tonight
One of us needs to take charge tonight
Who's it gonna be?
Which one of us will take charge?
I'm gonna sit right here
I'm staying put
And tell you all that comes to me
I'm gonna say what's on my mind
If you have something to say
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
Say it now
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
You make me feel something I've never felt
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
I deserve to feel this way
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It's getting harder to ignore this feeling
And I can't take it
I can't handle it
I was wondering maybe
I'm thinking
Could I make you my baby
Could we be together?
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If we take a big risk, will it make us look foolish?
If you ask me I'm ready
If you're ready, so am I
I know you said to me
I remember what you told me
"This is exactly how it should feel when its meant to be"
"This is how it should feel when we're meant to be together"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually
Why wait when time is short?
If we gonna do something 'bout it
If we're going to act on this
We should do it right now
We should act now
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It's getting harder to ignore this feeling
It is what we make it
Our relationship is what we decide to make it
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
Regardless, it could be beautiful
Why give up before we try
Let's not give up before we even try
Feel the lows before the highs
We have to go through some tough times before the good times
Clip our wings before we fly away (fly away)
Don't hold us back from something great
I can't say I came prepared
I'm not fully prepared for what's to come
I'm suspended in the air
I feel uncertain
Won't you come be in the sky with me
Will you take this risk with me?
If you ask me I'm ready
I'm ready if you are
If you ask me I'm ready
I'm ready if you are
If you ask me I'm ready
I'm ready if you are
If you ask me I'm ready
I'm ready if you are
