[Verse 1: Drake]

Wrote this shit, January 21

Baby girl, I had to run, I'll be back a couple months

Kendall turned 21, was up the street with 21

They could see me online, but they won't see me on the ones

I got Dubai plates in the California state

I got her waitin' at my place, I got no baby on the way

I'm talkin' Baby like Stunna, I'm talkin' Baby like Face

Lost millions in the past, I'm talkin' maybe like eight

Couple niggas from the city, wishin' on a star, could they be like Drake

Sorry, no, not today, you gotta find your own way

Big dog from the 6, I'm talkin' Dogg like Nate

My shit be raw out the gate, I don't need another take

40 got house on the lake, I ain't know we had a lake

She complainin' how I'm late, I ain't know it was a date

Niggas see me in person, first thing they say is, "I know you need a break"

Hell naw, I feel great, ready now, why wait?

Like a kiss from a rose, I could be the one to seal your whole fate

So be careful what you think, think about what you gon' say

Gotta deal with people straight, I got my 23's laced

It's a marathon, not a sprint, but I still gotta win the race, yeah


[Chorus: Drake]

And I'm convinced

I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since

We seein' so many blessings, shit don't make no sense

Someone watchin' over us, so shout goes out to Him

Yeah, I'm convinced

I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since

Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense

Someone watchin' over us, so shout goes out to—


[Verse 2: 2 Chainz]

2 Chainz, I'm a real one

Few shows, that's a mil run

When she bust it down

I said, "Thanks for givin' to me," like a pilgrim

Cold world'll be chillin'

Earmuffs on the children

Used to trap out the Hilton

Got wood on the Cartiers

That's a face full of splinters

Count a bankroll for dinner

This the wrong place to enter

Phone sex, yeah, for breakfast, all kinda women text us

Met her at the Super Bowl

Told her I stayed down the street from Texas (Woo)

A-Town, I stay down

Yeah, it's all in the wrist (Skrrt)

This one here out the fence

Trap jumpin' like "tha Carter"

Mean it jumpin' like Vince

Moved on from the election

Introduced her to the plug

Can't believe they tried to take the connection

Ooh, girl, you a blessin'

Fine ass, be finessin'

Yeah, I love my fans, but I don't wanna take pictures in the restroom

Drench God with the 6 God

Point guard and the two guard

"Pretty Girls Like Trap Music", so I woke up with my wood hard (Wood hard)


[Chorus: Drake]

And I'm convinced

I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since

We seein' so many blessings, shit don't make no sense

Someone watchin' over us, so shout goes out to Him

Yeah, I'm convinced

I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since

Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense

Someone watchin' over us, so shout goes out to—


[Verse 3: Young Thug]

I was stealin' from a bitch (Slime)

Back when I was 21 (Facts)

My favorite gun was a SIG (Nine)

20 in the clip, head one (No cockin')

Growin' up, I was a running back

You never made me ran once (Goddamn)

I got shot, sweat started runnin'

That shit was red like Hunt (Ketchup)

I'm kickin', pimpin' like I punt (Beat it)

But don't you think shit's sweet?

I'm talkin' sweet, deer meat (Ooh)

I'm talkin' suite like he sleep (Like he sleep)

We ain't doin' too much talkin' (Nah)

I'm talmbout talkin' like a speech (Election)

Like the President, I kill 'em neat (Scammers)

I’m talkin' neat like freak

I'm talkin' neat like fleek

I'm talkin' neat like a geek (Yeah!)

You come with beef, I eat a B

I'm talkin' B’s, spellin' bee (Sheesh)

Double R, that's a Rolls

Paint it yellow like it's dairy

I'm talkin' Rose like Derrick

I'm talkin' rolls like a belly (Woo)

Like a new car, I got two keys

Tryna score the bucket like a Chevy seat (Chevy seat)

Then I heard they been pullin' all week (All week)

I'ma use your name like, "Who is he?"

You get it? Haha!

I said I'ma use a name like, "Who is he?"

Got some gold on, leprechaun, sheesh

Deep sleep short for deceased

Big bezel on the Patty (Woo)

I’m talkin' PADI—I meant Patek

Don't try to take it, I got guns

I'm talkin' guns, not pellets (Pellet)

I watch the game from the floor (Floor seats)

I'm talkin' wood, first mattress

I'm talkin' wood, pants down (Pants down)

I'm talkin' woods like them clowns (You get it?)

I got my mink off a monkey

I'm talkin' monkey like Jumanji (Hrr)

All your diamonds partly sunny

I'm talkin' sunny like D, Sunny (Sunny Delight)

My diamonds wet, it cost me money

I'm talkin' wet like it's runnin' (Sink)

I'm talkin' wet like Katrina (New Orleans)

I'm talkin' wet like Dasani, huh


[Chorus: Drake]

And I'm convinced

I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since

We seein' so many blessings, shit don't make no sense

Someone watchin' over us, so shout goes out to Him

Yeah, I'm convinced

I made sacrifices, I been ballin' ever since

Yeah, I did some wrong, I had no choice in my defense

Someone watchin' over us, so shout goes out to—
