Marvins Room

Drake · Take Care [2011]

[Woman on phone]

"Hello

Yeah I just walked in

Yeah i'm good you still working?

Tonight, right now?

'Did I go out' yeah I went out

I went, I went to a couple of clubs

I never went to bed

Shit, wine or water

You should see someone about a cold drink

I don't know, i'm delirious, night"



[Drake - Verse 1]

Cups of the Rose

Bitches in my old phone

I should call one and go home

I've been in this club too long

The woman that I would try

Is happy with a good guy



But I've been drinking so much

That I'ma call her anyway and say

"F-ck that nigga that you love so bad

I know you still think about the times we had"

I say "f-ck that nigga that you think you found

And since you picked up I know he's not around"



(Are you drunk right now?)



I'm just sayin', you could do better

Tell me have you heard that lately?

I'm just sayin' you could do better

And I'll start hatin', only if you make me



Uh, cups of the XO

All my people been here

I see all of her friends here

Guess she don't have the time to kick it no more

Flights in the morning

What you doing thats so important?

I've been drinking so much

That I'ma call you anyway and say



"F-ck that nigga that you love so bad

I know you still think about the times we had"

I say "f-ck that nigga that you think you found

And since you picked up I know he's not around"



(Are you drunk right now?)



I'm just sayin', you could do better

Tell me have you heard that lately

I'm just sayin' you could do better

And I'll start hatin', only if you make me



I think I'm addicted to naked pictures

And sittin talkin' 'bout bitches

That we almost had

I don't think I'm concious of making monsters

Outta the women that I sponsor til it all goes bad

But shit it's all good

We threw a party, yeh we threw a party

Bitches came over, yeh, we threw a party

I was just calling cause they were just leaving

Talk to me please, don't have much to believe in

I need you right now, are you down to listen to me?

Too many drinks have been given to me

I got some women thats living off me

Paid for their flights and hotels I'm ashamed

Bet that you know them, I won't say no names

After a while girl they all seem the same

I've had sex four times this week I'll explain

Having a hard time adjusting to fame

Sprite in that mixture, I've been talking crazy girl

I'm lucky that you picked up

Lucky that you stayed on

I need someone to put this weight on



[Drake and Woman on phone]

"Well I'm sorry" – Drake

"Are you drunk right now?" – Woman



I'm just sayin', you could do better

Tell me have you heard that lately

I'm just sayin' you could do better

And I'll start hatin', only if you make me



[Drake on phone]

"You're not going to come?"

"Guess i'm bout to just kick it here then,"



Just throw up while I hold your hair back

Her white friend said "you niggas crazy"

I hope no-one heard that

I hope no-one heard that

Cause if they did, we gon be in some trouble
