[Drake:]
You could thank me now
uh, go head

Thank Me Later yeah I know what I said
but later doesnt always come so instead
its 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 Ive been drinking like theres a message in a bottle

alohas 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 ^!$$%s
Im on the brink of influential
Im here for you ^!$$%s

I guess a hit doesnt add up to a career for you ^!$$%s
I must have been hard to watch,
what a year for you ^!$$%s

its 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
$#&@ that old %#@!, Im on new things
OVO clique, Red wing boot gang

yeah we want it all, half was never the agreement
whod 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 youre welcome

youre welcome
at this point me is who Im 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 ^!$$%s that I came with, they good for life

yeah, thats how you know its going down
in case another chance never comes around...


[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]

Uhh, shallow ^!$$% but deep enough to have gone swimming
I think Im 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 isnt 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 muffins, do I?
Or is missing what we had outta the question
Im probably just the reason that you learned your lesson

I got flows for the Marilyn Monroes whos there before it all
I guess thats how it goes
they hear about your cons or 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 allow
where are they all now
I know there somewhere watching so Im trying to make them proud

searching for the meaning
youll find it next to me
and tell me Im the highest, guess we finally get to see

Im feeling like Nas who am I to disagree
they say that doors open up as soon as you find the missing key
its probably why Im in this (*##$ 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
Im the Black Sheep, but Chris Farley wears the crown

and I know life is just a game in which the cards are facing down
Im in the world where things are taken, never given
how long they choose to love you will never be your decision
and Im aware that this could be the last time you listen
so while Im still here in this position...


[Chorus]
