Hello, yeah I just walked in, yeah I'm good you still working?
Tonight, right now? 'Did I go out' yeah I went out, I went, I went to a couple of clubs
I never went to bed, shit' wine or water
You should see someone about a cold drink, I don't know, I'm delirious' night'

Cups of the Rose
Bitches in my old phone
I should call one and go home
I've been in this club too long
The woman that I would try
Is happy wit a good guy
But I've been drinking so much
That I'ma call her anyway and say

Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up I know he's not around

(Are you drunk right now?)

I'm just sayin', you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately?
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin', only if you make me

Uh, cups of the XO
All my people been here
I see all of her friends here
Guess she don't have the time to kick it no more
Flights in the morning
What you doing that's so important?
I've been drinking so much
That I'ma call you anyway and say

Fuck that nigga that you love so bad
I know you still think about the times we had
I say fuck that nigga that you think you found
And since you picked up I know he's not around oh
(Are you drunk right now?)

I'm just sayin', you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin', only if you make me

I think I'm addicted to naked pictures
And sittin' talkin' 'bout bitches
That we almost had
I don't think I'm conscious of making monsters
Outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad
But shit it's all good
We threw a party, yeah we threw a party
Bitches came over, yeah, we threw a party
I was just calling cause they were just leaving
Talk to me please, don't have much to believe in
I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?
Too many drinks have been given to me
I got some women that's living off me
Paid for their flights and hotels I'm ashamed
Bet that you know them, I won't say no names
After a while girl they all seem the same
I've had sex four times this week I'll explain
Having a hard time adjusting to fame
Sprite in that mixture, I've been talking crazy girl
I'm lucky that you picked up
Lucky that you stayed on
I need someone to put this weight on

"Well I'm sorry"
"Are you drunk right now?"

I'm just sayin', you could do better
Tell me have you heard that lately
I'm just sayin' you could do better
And I'll start hatin', only if you make me

"You're not going to come?"
"Guess I'm bout to just kick it here then"

Just throw up while I hold your hair back
Her white friend said "you niggas crazy"
I hope no-one heard that




I hope no-one heard that
Cause if they did, we gon be in some trouble

Overall Meaning

"Marvin's Room" is a single by Canadian rapper Drake that was released in 2011. The track finds Drake calling his ex-girlfriend, despite the fact she has moved on and is happy with her new man. He tries to convince her that she could do better and that her current boyfriend is nothing compared to him. The song is a mix of melancholy melody and deeply personal lyrics, which speaks to the listener in a conversation-induced manner.


The track opens with Drake calling his former girlfriend, asking how she is, and where she is at that moment. He admits that he's in a club, drinking, and feeling lonely, which initiates the conversation. As the conversation goes on, Drake slowly reveals his true intentions and begins discussing their past together, trying to rekindle their relationship. He tells her that she could do better than her current beau and he starts to lose his emotional bearings. However, in the end, Drake can't find solace in his current situation despite his efforts, ultimately coming to the realization that his life has spiraled out of his control.
