Down In The Studio
drake and lil wayne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Hahaa, yeah young Weezy Baby
Come to tell you all today about
A lil’ problem I be having
Oh man see it's like

When I’m down in the studio
Tryna make a track
My girl be at home all over my back
And every time I say that’s what I’m doing
She don’t think it’s what I’m doing
When it's her that I’d rather be doing
But right now I’m in the
Studio making this track
My girl at home all over my back
She blowin’ up my phone
She tells me she’s alone
I say I won’t be long
Let me finish this song
But right now I’m in the
Studio eating this track
My girl at home begging me to come back
Okay I’m coming home, and when I get home
Girl I’m gonna kill it like
I’m killing this song
But right now I’m in the studio

Man just record me
And even with a equals sign
You couldn’t pause me haha
Yeah, this is the office
Come be my secretary baby this is the office
And my office hours are 9 to 5
But you can be my 6 to 10 i’mma say it again
My office hours are 9 to 5
But you can be my 6 to 10

Man just record me
My girl at home all discombodied
Lady, but baby I’m just recording
And you gotta know I’d rather
Do this than party man, don’t get me started
You think I’m crazy, my bitch retarded
But that’s my bitch regardless yeah

Man, just record your boy
If I sound a lil’ pissed, disregard ya boy
My baby girl really acting like
A baby sending text
Stressed, tryna make it hard for ya boy
I’m like shawty better use your toy
See a nigga never absent but
I might be taughty
Lordy, Lordy, I likes to party
See I could be with two freaks
About to have an orgy
Or I could be with Pamela
Could be with Audrey
Instead I’m telling the engineer:
"dude just record me"
And as soon as Angel records me
That’s more Gucci, more Prada, more Louie V
See every verse bring us closer
To our dream house
Now we closer to the things
That we dream ’bout
And when I get home I ain’t tryna go to sleep




You know I’mma dig deep but right
Now I’m OT in the studio

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Down In The Studio" by Drake and Lil Wayne depict the struggles faced by the artists when balancing their dedication to their music and their relationships. The song begins with Lil Wayne expressing his frustration with his girlfriend constantly nagging him while he is in the studio. He wants to focus on making music, but she doesn't believe that's what he's really doing. Wayne admits that, although he is in the studio physically, mentally he would rather be with his girlfriend. Despite her constant calls and pleas for him to come back home, Wayne is determined to finish his work and fulfill his musical commitments before returning to her.


Drake, on the other hand, defends his passion for music and assures his girlfriend that recording in the studio means everything to him. He insists that he would rather be making music than partying or indulging in other activities. Drake's dedication to his craft is evident, as he mentions his dreams and goals that each verse gets him closer to. While away from his girlfriend, Drake promises to give his all in the studio and bring that same energy when he finally comes home.

This shit is insane! Wayne steps his metaphor game up every album. He knows the right beats to pick. This shit is addictive. I cranked this song up wit the subs banging and wooo! It feels so good when you feel that bass hit. You done did it again Wayne, and Drake kills the hooks as usual. This is what you call a super group. Ricky Rozay smashed it also!

@Cinneidigh

You can tell that Wayne literally love music ! He loves what he do and that's why you know who he is.
