[Chorus]
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 uh-okay, you could thank me now
Uhh, yeah
Well, alright
Here I go
[Verse 1]
Uh, Mahalo from the hardest act to follow
Lately I’ve been drinking like there’s a message in a bottle
Alohas to women with no ties to men
That I know well, that way there are no lies
You can 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 your resolutions, we just got reservations
Living out a dream it feels like I stayed up
And we just want to 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 have thought the route we’d chosen
Would ever end up this scenic?
I can relate to kids going straight to the league
When they recognize that you got what it takes to succeed
And that’s around the time
That your idols become your rivals
You make friends with Mike
But got to A.I. him for your survival
Damn, I swear sports and music are so synonymous
Cause we want to be them, and they want to be us, yeah
So on behalf of the demanded and the entertainment
That you take for granted, y-you can thank me now
And oh my goodness you’re welcome, you’re welcome
At this point me is who I am 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, ’cause everyone here is good tonight
Except the niggas that I came with, they good for life
Yeah, that’s how you know it’s going down
In case another chance never comes around
[Chorus]
Y-You could thank me now (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 uh-okay, you could thank me now (You, you, you)
[Verse 2]
Uh, shallow nigga but deep enough to have gone swimming
I think I’m spending all my time with the wrong women
I think I’ll have a chance at love and knowing me, I’ll 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 are 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 lattes and low fat muffins?
Do I? Or is missing what we had out of the question?
I’m probably just the reason that you learned your lesson
I got flows for the Marilyn Monroes
Who was there before it all, I guess that’s how it goes
They hear about your cons, but focus on your pros
And love you for who you are from the bottom of they soul
But those same ones from your area will grow into women
That are ready to get married at “Hello”
Because of what they allowed, where are they all now?
I know they’re somewhere watching
So I’m trying to make them proud
Searching for the meaning, you’ll find it next to me
They tell me I’m the hottest, guess we finally get to see
I’m feeling like Nas, who am I to disagree?
They say the doors will open up soon as you find the missing key
That’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 bandwagon’s full but you can try and run behind it–
I’m sorry
Poolside drinking, Margarita 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 a 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
[Chorus]
Y-you could thank me now (Thank me now), uh, go ‘head (Go ‘head)
Thank me later, yeah I know what I said (What I said)
But later doesn’t always come so instead
It’s uh-okay, you could thank me now (You, you, you)
It’s a- okay (Okay)
