Baby you summertime fine, I let you get on top, I be the underline
I'm trying to get beside you like the number 9, dime
You fine as hell, I guess I met you for a reason, only time can tell
But well, I'm wondering what type of shit you wantin'
Do you like the finer things or you a simple woman
Would you drink with a nigga, do you smoke weed
Don't be ashamed, it ain't no thing, I used to blow trees
Gettin lifted, I quit but shit, I might get high with you
It's only fitting 'cause I'm looking super fly with you
A flower, you are powerful, you do something to me
'Cause girl I caught the vibe like you threw something to me
So I threw 'em back, now all my niggas hollerin, who was that
Oh boy, she bad nigga, what you 'bout do with that
I'm finna take you home, just sip a little patron
Now we zonin', baby you so fine

And can I hit it in the morning

I'm trying to make the goose bumps on your inner thigh show
I'll let you beat me there as far as finish lines go
Yeah, and if you gotta leave for work,
I'll be right here in the same bed that you left me in
I love thick women 'cause my aunt, she rode equestrian
I used to go to the stables and get those kids to bet me
And I would always ride the stallions whenever she let me
I'm joking, I mean that thing is poking
I mean you kinda like that girl that's in the US Open
I mean I got this hidden agenda that you provoking
I got bath water that you can soak in
Things I could do with lotion
Don't need a towel, we could dry off in the covers
And when you think you like it, I promise you gon' love it

Drake killed this. I like how his voice has the raspy sound to it. Goes good with the vibe and obviously the context of the song.

Mr Hussain

Drake did this on purpose because it's supposed to be "in the morning" that's the reason for his raspy voice.

Jonas McDaniel

it’s probably my favorite verse all time by drake

The SpaceCadet

Na man that shit happens when you on opiates dude was prob sipping while he was in the studio

Lilbabydad

@Mr Hussain Lol I know bro... That's why I said it goes with the context of the song.

Kendall Boults Jr.

Back when Drake was just called "Wayne's protege" and Cole was "Jay-Z's protege", now both of them are leading the game.

coolman5242

@Slime World I never said they were the only leaders, just that Wayne and Jay were right to choose them to continue their legacies

Dennis D.

@coolman5242 Cole is way better than Jay-Z. Jay plays into the trap to mass incarcerate young black american males. Influencing with drug dealing bull shit that leads to death or jail. Cole speaks facts about real shit

CrankDatBartman

Dennis D. Jay z last album doesn’t have anything to do with drug dealing
