Up All Night

Drake · Thank Me Later [2010]

[Drake:]

Kush rolled, glass full, I prefer the better things

Niggas with no money act like money isn't everything

I'm having a good time, they just trying to ruin it

Shout out to the fact that I'm the yougest nigga doing it

Cap on, brim bent, Denzel, everytime

She ain't trying to pop that shit for pimp okay well never mind,

I I I I tried to told you, Drizzy still ain't nothing nice

Bracelet saying you should quit, cars saying fuck ya life

Okay now we outta here

Toodles to you bitches

And if you dolled up

I got the voodoo for you bitches, yeah

I'm busy getting rich, I don't want trouble

I made enough for two niggas, boy, stunt double

Famous like a drug that I've taken too much of

I never ever trip

Just peace, happiness and love

I got money in these jeans, so they fit me kinda snug

Plus the game is in my pocket, nigga this is what I does



[Chorus - Drake:]

I'm about whatever man

Fuck what they be talking about,

They opinon doesn't count,

We the only thing that matters (oooh)

So we do it how we do it

All up in your face, man, I hate to put you through it

I be up all night

Whole crews in here

Cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year (oooh)

Man I love my team

Man I love my team

I would die for them niggas (oooh)



[Nicki Minaj]

Yo, Drizzy sayin' get her, I'ma get her

I get the kind of money that make a broke bitch bitter

I got that kinda...wait, wait, fixate!

Which bitch you know made a million off a mixtape?

That was just a keep sake

Bought the president the Louis presidential briefcase

Never been a cheapskate

We got the Hawks I ain't talking about the Peach state

Man for Pete's sake, scratch that, sweepstakes (ha ha ha ha)

Fuck I look like hoe

I look like yes and you look like no

I'm a bad bitch I ain't never been a mixed breed.

On a diet but I'm doing donuts in a six speed

M-M-M6 from a M2

I see a lot of rap bitches on the menu

But I collect 100 thou at the venue

And pop bottles with my team

Young Money till the death of me



[Chorus - Drake:]

I'm about whatever man

Fuck what they be talking about,

They opinon doesn't count,

We the only thing that matters (oooh)

So we do it how we do it

All up in your face, man, I hate to put you through it

I be up all night

Whole crews in here

Cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year (oooh)

Man I love my team

Man I love my team

I would die for them niggas (oooh)



[Nicki Minaj:]

I mean we can even rock them shoes if it don't got a comma

on the price tag, you know?

I mean, I mean but then again who looks at the price tag, you know?



[Drake]

Oh yeah we in this bitch

Oww, oww, oww

Oh yeah we in this bitch

Oww, oww, oww



[Chorus - Drake:]

I'm about whatever man

Fuck what they be talking about,

They opinon doesn't count,

We the only thing that matters (oooh)

So we do it how we do it

All up in your face, man, I hate to put you through it

I be up all night

Whole crews in here

Cause I don't really know who I'ma lose this year (oooh)

Man I love my team

Man I love my team

I would die for these niggas (oooh)
