Know you got a roommate, call me when its no one there
Put the key under the mat, and you know I'll be over there
(Yup) I'll be over there, shawty I'll be over there
I'll be hittin' all the spots that you ain't even know was there
Ha, and you ain't even have to ask twice
You can have my heart or we can share it like the last slice
Always felt like you was so accustomed to the fast life
Have a nigga thinkin' that he met you in a past life
Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin' with no make-up on
That's when your the prettiest, I hope that you don take it wrong
You don't even trip when friends say you ain't bringin' Drake along
You know that I'm workin' I'll be there soon as I make it home
And she a patient in my waitin' room
Never pay attention to them rumors and what they assume
And until them girls prove it
I'm the one to never get confused with 'cause

Baby you my everythin', you all I ever wanted
We can do it real big, bigger then you ever done it
You be up on everythin' other hoes ain't never on it

When I get right I promise that we gone live it up
She make me beg for it 'til she give it up

When they knock my blocks down you come and you build with me
Even though you real busy, you's so fuckin' real Drizzy ((Trap-A-Holics)
It's so amazin' I figured out this world is ours for the takin'
I figured out that when I go out and those people scream
That some of them are livin' vicariously through me
That's why I put that S on my chest and I'm gone
But on another note, let's have sex in my dorm
And I'ma make you beg 'cause you look pretty when you beggin'
So meet me on the campus, I'll be there around eleven (eleven)
Let me put my books down (down), excuse me if I look down (down)
Guess I'm a little nervous but I'm at your service
Look at what you took down (down)

Sex, Love, Pain, baby I be on that Tank shit
Buzz so big I could probably sell a blank disk
When my album drop, bitches will buy it for the picture
And niggas will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister
Magazine paper girl, but money ain't the issue
They bring dinner to my room and ask me to initial
She call me the referee 'cause I be so official
My shirt ain't got no stripes but I can make yo' pussy whistle
Like the Andy Griffith theme song
And who told you to put them jeans on?
Double cup love, you the one I lean on
Feelin' for a fix then you should really get your fiend on
Yeah, just know my condo is the crack spot
Every single show she out there rappin' like a mascot
Get it from the back, and make your fuckin' bra strap pop
All up in yo' slot until the nigga hit the jackpot, I'm sayin'

Baby you my everythin', you all I ever wanted
We can do it real big, bigger then you ever done it
You be up on everythin' other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right I promise that we gone live it up
She make me beg for it 'til she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time

I say you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the best I ever had (best I ever)
Best I ever had (best I ever)
Best I ever had (best I ever, best I ever)
Best I ever had (best I ever)

I say you the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the fuckin' best (ayy)
You the best I ever had (best I ever)
Best I ever had (best I ever)
Best I ever had (best I ever, best I ever)

Just make sure they that special somebody (an essay)




Young Money (baby)
Yeah, yeah

@@TheCHAOSSWISSROLL21 how would you know, bcuz as a huge fan of Nicki Nicki n Drizzy Drake n when I heard this old song again and they remix it I was so happy and I teared up while singing the chorus, bcuz it really brings back the good old memories when this song was first release back in 2010 from drake's Thank Me Later Album.

And Drake's name stands for:

And
Kill
Everything.
