| You could thank me now
|
| uh, go ‘head
|
| Thank Me Later yeah I know what I said
|
| but later doesn’t always come so instead
|
| it’s okay,
|
| You could thank me now
|
| uhh, yeah, well alright, here I go
|
| Mahalo from the hardest act to follow
|
| lately I’ve been drinking like there’s a message in a bottle
|
| aloha’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
|
| 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 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, I’m on new things
|
| OVO clique, Red wing boot gang
|
| yeah we want it all, half was never the agreement
|
| who’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
|
| '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 you’re welcome
|
| you’re welcome
|
| at this point me is who I’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 it’s going down
|
| in case another chance never comes around…
|
| Uhh, shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimming
|
| I think I’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 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 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 latte’s
|
| and low fat muffin’s, do I?
|
| Or is missing what we had outta the question
|
| I’m probably just the reason that you learned your lesson
|
| I got flows for the Marilyn Monroe’s who’s there before it all
|
| I guess thats how it goes
|
| they hear about your cons or focus on your pro’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 I’m trying to make them proud
|
| searching for the meaning
|
| you’ll find it next to me
|
| and tell me I’m the highest, guess we finally get to see
|
| I’m feeling like Nas who am I to disagree
|
| they say that doors open up as soon as you find the missing key
|
| it’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 bandwagons full but you can try and run behind it
|
| I’m sorry, poolside drinking
|
| margharita 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 the 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… |
