THANK ME NOW LYRICS - DRAKE

translate thank me now drake

[Drake:]
You could thank me now
uh, go âÂ?Â?head
Thank Me Later yeah I know what I said
but later doesnâÂ?Â?t always come so instead
itâÂ?Â?s okay,
You could thank me now
uhh, yeah, well alright, here I go

[Verse 1:]
my hollow from my heart is hard to follow
lately IâÂ?Â?ve been drinking like thereâÂ?Â?s a message in a bottle
alohaâÂ?Â?s to women with no ties
to men that I know well
that way there are no lies
you could thank me now for all the info I give to you niggas
IâÂ?Â?m on the brink of influential
IâÂ?Â?m here for you niggas
I guess a hit doesnâÂ?Â?t add up to a career for you niggas
I must have been hard to watch,
what a year for you niggas
itâÂ?Â?s December 31st and we in Miami just meditating
you got the resolutions, we just got reservations
living out a dream, it feels like I stayed up
and we just wanna party, patron straight up
fuck that old shit, IâÂ?Â?m on new things
OVO clique, Red wing boot gang
yeah we want it all, half was never the agreement
whoâÂ?Â?d thought the route we chose would ever end up this scenic
I could relate to kids going straight to the league
when they recognise that you got what it takes to succeed
and thats around the time that your idols become your rivals
you make friends with Mike but gotta AI him for your survival
damn, I swear sports and music are so synonomous
âÂ?Â?cause we wanna be them and they wanna be us
yeah so on behalf of the demanded
and the entertainment that you take for granted
you could thank me now...
and oh my goodness youâÂ?Â?re welcome
youâÂ?Â?re welcome
at this point me is who IâÂ?Â?m 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 because everyone here is good tonight
except the niggas that I came with, they good for life
yeah, thats how you know itâÂ?Â?s going down
in case another chance never comes around...

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Uhh, shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimming
I think IâÂ?Â?m spending all my time with the wrong women
I think I have a chance at love but knowing me I miss it
cause me dedicating my time just isnâÂ?Â?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 her 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 latteâÂ?Â?s
and low fat muffinâÂ?Â?s, do I?
Or is missing what we had outta the question
IâÂ?Â?m probably just the reason that you learned your lesson
I got flows for the Marilyn MonroeâÂ?Â?s whoâÂ?Â?s there before it all
I guess thats how it goes
they hear about your cons or focus on your proâÂ?Â?s
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 allow
where are they all now
I know there somewhere watching so IâÂ?Â?m trying to make them proud
searching for the meaning
youâÂ?Â?ll find it next to me
and tell me IâÂ?Â?m the highest, guess we finally get to see
IâÂ?Â?m feeling like Nas who am I to disagree
they say that doors open up as soon as you find the missing key
itâÂ?Â?s probably why IâÂ?Â?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 bandwagons full but you can try and run behind it
IâÂ?Â?m sorry, poolside drinking
margharita rounds
shout out to my city though I hardly be in town
IâÂ?Â?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
IâÂ?Â?m in the world where things are taken, never given
how long they choose to love you will never be your decision
and IâÂ?Â?m aware that this could be the last time you listen
so while IâÂ?Â?m still here in this position...

[Chorus]
