Sweet Dreams
drake and lil wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes I'm going' outta my head
Lost in a fairytale
Can you hold my hands and be my guide?
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true (turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here
I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Yo, Young Money right here
Bike here, throw it up, no high chair
Cold like a white bear
Freddie Kruger, I'm a rap bitch nightmare
And I'm rich I could buy you
Kill bitches, leave they body in the Bayou
More brain than a IQ
More head than a dread, my yute
And my bank account ain't hardly empty
That's why I come through in a Barbie Bentley
So please mamacita, please no envy
When you come around, it reads "no entry"
Who's next to go?
My flows so flexible
Get gassed and get at me, Texaco
Shoot yourself in the leg, Plexico
White Jag with the twisted lip
I ain't Mike Jack but This is it
Boo boo boo I'm everywhere
You like balloon boy, mama, you was never there
I am the Kung Fu Panda
Fuck all of your blogs, fuck all of your propaganda
Good for the goose then it's good for the gander
Nicki ain't a rapper, Nicki is a brander
Please, you can never compare to me
All these bitches is scared of me
I am who they couldn't even dare to be
So that's all folks (ba da ba dee)
I go hard, pause
Hospital flow, get more gauze
I'm a bad bitch on all fours
The President be like "It's all yours"
Weezy and Nicki bring the A-game, high stats
Go together like Ricky and his eye patch
Go together like a team in the gym
Kareem in the ring, the Queen and the King
Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death can make us part (No Ceilings)
What kinda dream is this?
You could be a sweet
Kush it out, red bone, pussy, mouth
Eat you up, spit you out
Fuck your girl in your house
I'm terrible, be careful
You might want say a prayer or two
So cold I need Theraflu
I'm so high I need parachutes
I'm error proof, I'm never spooked
Got my coupe, heaven blue
And my flag red as hell, think you're sweet as devils food
I never lose, my weapons use
Fuck with me wrong, shit get ugly, Devin Dude
And she's the queen
Two's a couple, three's a scene
Weezy that nigga that you see in your dreams
Get the pussy wet or be the springs, huh
I'm Easter clean
Shout to my home girl Mika Means
Anything we want we redeem
You niggas gassed up, '93 Supreme
Nicki Minaj is the hardest bitch
More than a artist, bitch
She talk a whole lot of shit
And walk around like she President Carter's bitch
She be on her Barbie shit
And me, I'm on The Carter 6
And I can turn crumbs to bricks
And I can turn nuns to tricks
Young Mula, baby
Fu-fuck your feelings
And this is No Ceilings, yeah
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true (turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here
I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
The lyrics of Drake and Lil Wayne's song "Sweet Dreams" serves as a sweet ode to the object of their affection. The song begins with a simple yet relatable image of how the singer rushes to bed each night, hoping to see his love in his dreams. He yearns for a fairytale ending and wants his lover to be his guide. The chorus repeats the idea that he wants to continue dreaming about his lover, be it a pleasant or terrible dream. He doesn't want to wake up from the illusion, and it should last forever. The verses in the song showcase both artists' rap skills, but they still keep up with the song's theme of teetering between a dream and a reality. Lil Wayne's verse is more explicit, and he talks about his conquests and riches, but Drake's verse is more subdued, and he laments the fear that he might scare his love away. The song ends with the reminder of how they don't want to wake up from the dream of love. Overall, the chords and lyrics of "Sweet Dreams" capture the obsession and longing that come when one is smitten.

Nicki’s rap:
Ayo, I am the star in any room that I stand in
I am the standout, you just my stand-in
These bitches copy my homework, that's what they hand in
That's why I'm private like the airports I land in
Life is a beach house, don't let the sand in
I ball in any arena, go let the fans in
I should go cop a new jersey, that's word to Camden
These bitches' time tick-tockin', better stick to dancin'
I D&G the wallet, my money tall and brolic
Big-ass backyards, just so Papa Bear could frolic
One Margarita pizza with Parmesan and garlic
These bitches thirsty, I can see why they alcoholics
Ain't gotta ever talk about it when you are about it
Just bought a new car, not to drive it, but to walk around it
Just call me Nicki, cock the blicky, the Minaj is silent
Brand new vanilla Maserati, I been Häagen-Dazsin'
He call me solid even though I'm drippin', water diet
Big booty stickin' out, my Daisy Dukes'll cause a riot
These bitches still my sons, who could ever deny it?
My packs hit different, who could ever supply it?
No one bitch could be my opp, that shit offends me
It's corporate giants and machines that went against me
I wash bitches, man, they couldn't even rinse me
She said she hot, I said, "Well, bitch, come and convince me"
Ain't no C in green, but I'm seein' green
Even with them floor seats, they couldn't see the team
The K-I-N-G, the G.O.A.T., plus me, the Queen
I send shots, send 'em back or flee the scene
