Drake Thank Me Now

You could thank me now, go 'head Thank me later, yeah I know what I said But later doesn't always come so instead It's OK, you could thank me now Yeah Well, alright Here I go Uh, Mahalo from the hardest act to follow Lately I've been drinking like there's a message in a bottle Alohas to women with no ties to men That I know well, that way there are no lies You can thank me now for all the info I give to you niggas I'm on the brink of "influential", I'm here for you niggas I guess a hit doesn't add up to a career for you niggas I must have been hard to watch, what a year for you niggas It's December 31st and we in Miami just meditating You got your resolutions, we just got reservations Living out a dream it feels like I stayed up And we just want to party, Patron straight up Fuck that old shit, I'm on new things OVO Clique, Red Wing Boot Gang Yeah we want it all, half was never the agreement Who would have thought the route we'd chosen Would ever end up this scenic? I can relate to kids going straight to the league When they recognize that you got what it takes to succeed And that's around the time That your idols become your rivals You make friends with Mike But got to A.I. him for your survival Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonymous 'Cause we want to be them, and they want to be us So on behalf of the demanded and the entertainment That you take for granted, y-you can thank me now And oh my goodness you're welcome, you're welcome At this point me is who I am trying to save myself from Rappers hit me up and I never know what to tell them 'Cause they think that I can help them Get back to where they fell from But drink up, 'cause everyone here is good tonight Except the niggas that I came with, they good for life That's how you know it's going down In case another chance never comes around Y-you could thank me now (Thank me now), go 'head Thank me later, yeah I know what I said But later doesn't always come so instead It's OK, you could thank me now (You, you, you) Uh, shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimming I think I'm spending all my time with the wrong women I think I'll have a chance at love and knowing me, I'll miss it 'Cause me dedicating my time just isn't realistic Man, the good girls went silent on me They got a boyfriend, or left for college on me And all the bad ones I used to hit are friends now That make me wish I had a little less mileage on me But do I ever come up in discussion Over double pump lattes and low fat muffins? Do I? Or is missing what we had out of the question? I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson I got flows for the Marilyn Monroes Who was there before it all, I guess that's how it goes They hear about your cons, but focus on your pros And love you for who you are from the bottom of their soul But those same ones from your area will grow into women That are ready to get married at "Hello" Because of what they allowed, where are they all now? I know they're somewhere watching So I'm trying to make them proud Searching for the meaning, you'll find it next to me They tell me I'm the hottest, guess we finally get to see I'm feeling like Nas, who am I to disagree? They say the doors will open up soon as you find the missing key That's probably why I'm in this bitch shining Jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment I rep the ATF in case you need to be reminded And the bandwagon's full but you can try and run behind it I'm sorry Poolside drinking, Margarita rounds Shout out to my city though I hardly be in town I'm the black sheep but Chris Farley wears the crown And I know life is just a game in which the cards are facing down I'm in a world where things are taken, never given How long they choose to love you will never be your decision And I'm aware that this could be the last time you listen So while I'm still here in this position Y-you could thank me now (Thank me now), go 'head (Go 'head) Thank me later, yeah I know what I said (What I said) But later doesn't always come so instead It's OK, you could thank me now It's a- OK (OK)
