20 of the Best Lyrics From Drake’s ‘Scorpion’ Album

"Niggas gambling with they life for some content/That's the type of lottery that could get your top picked/I am a cream-of-the-crop nigga/You niggas pop mollies, my Mali's pop niggas/House on both coasts, but I live on the charts/I have tea with the stars and I swim with the sharks/And I see in the dark, wasn't this cold at the start/Think my soul has been marked, there's a hole in my heart" —Drake

"Workin' in the land of the free, the home of the brave/I gotta bring my brothers or else I feel out of place/Breakin' speed records on roads that these niggas paved/And they don't like that, it's written all on they face/I don't know how I'ma make it out of here clean/Can't even keep track of who plays for the other team/Iconic duos rip and split at the seams/Good-hearted people are takin' it to extremes" —Drake

"Look at the way we live/I wasn't hidin' my kid from the world, I was hidin' the world from my kid/From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate/Until you starin' at your seed, you can never relate/Breakin' news in my life, I don't run to the blogs/The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call/They always ask, 'Why let the story run if it's false?'/You know a wise man once said nothin' at all" —Drake

"She said, 'Do you love me?' I tell her, 'Only partly'/I only love my bed and my momma, I'm sorry/50 dub, I even got it tatted on me/81, they'll bring the crashers to the party/And you know me/Turn the O2 into the O3, dog/Without 40, Oli, there’d be no me/Imagine if I never met the broskies" —Drake

"Got a lot of blood and it's cold/They keep tryna get me for my soul/Thankful for the women that I know/Can't go 50-50 with no ho/Every month, I'm supposed to pay her bills and get her what she want/I still got like seven years of doin' what I want/My dad still got child support from 1991" —Drake

"Max said they only bless when they attached to you/The only deadbeats is whatever beats I been rappin' to/And the product is still the best though/It's only good in my city because I said so/Just to fit the estate man, I had to cop a feel like presto, voilà, tada/Never a matter of 'could I?' or 'should I?'/Kiss my son on the forehead then kiss your ass goodbye/As luck would have it I've settled into my role as the good guy/I guess luck is on your side" —Drake

"Lead the league in scorin', man, but look at my assists/Yes I be with Future but I like to reminisce/I do not forget a thing, I'm patient, it's a gift/Try to tell 'em they ain't got to do it, they insist/Yeah, I can tell/I just gave 'em two for 40 million like Chappelle/Standin' over coffin with a hammer and a nail/Heard you hit up so and so, that name don't ring a bell" —Drake

"Back and forth to Italy/My comment section killin' me/I swear I get so passionate/Y'all do not know the half of it/I grew up with the Reps Up boys be crashin' it and splashin' in/And when I say they crashin' it, I do not mean a accident/I'm– I'm still in the studio at 6:45/And my haters either on they way to work or they arrived/And I gotta own the things I rap about just for my pride/You know when it comes to pride, I can't put that shit aside" —Drake

"Niggas see the crib and ask who did I steal from/Price tags on makin' the world feel some/They don't have enough to satisfy a real one/Maverick Carter couldn't even get the deal done/Niggas scared to come towards us, gotta run from us/Louisville hush money for my young gunners/Rick Pitino, I take 'em to strip clubs and casinos/Stack of c-notes get all you niggas scratched like Preemo" —Drake

"Head on a swivel, I could shoot but I could never dribble/Life too short, I gotta get it 'fore they blow the whistle/My uncle tryna change my energy with stones and crystals/But it's gon' take more than that for me to control my issues/I wasn't made for no casket or no prison cell/Every title doin' numbers like I'm Miss Adele/Sandra knows I pulled us out of a living hell/I'm the chosen one, flowers never pick themselves" —Drake

"Niggas want a classic, that's just 10 of these/Crime family like the Genovese/You don't want drama, capisce?/My house is full of supermodels just like Mohamed Hadid/I take this shit too serious, you niggas my comic relief/I find it funny how I keep on talkin' and commas increase/I'm standin' at the top of where you niggas are climbin' to reach/I even got my very own initials inscribed on my sheets/Subtle reminders are key" —Drake

"Live every word that I'm rappin'/Said I lost 90 bricks and it happened/You probably wouldn't believe everything that you seein' right now if it wasn't live action/I ain't on the 'Gram, they record who I am/God to these dope boys, how you not be a HOV fan/I'm what Meech shoulda been, I'm what Supreme didn't become/If Alpo didn't snitch, niggas'd be like Young/I got your president tweetin', I won't even meet with him/Y'all killed X, let Zimmerman live, shhh, streets is done" — JAY-Z

"Too many lyrics 'bout houses and loot/Too many Walt Disney characters, mouses and goofs/I mean you know I love a challenge, but challenged by who?/I'll let you bring a thousand recruits/My peers are a talented group/But even if you take all their statistics and carry the two/Even if you rounded up the numbers and rounded the troops/There's still nothin' they could really do/It's too bad reality checks don't cover the balances due whenever it's time to recoup" —Drake

"Yeah, you played me, you played me, you played me/Low down, dirty, shameful, crazy/I need to know how the new nigga you got does the same thing/I do for a living but is way less wavy/How you even managin' to keep straight faces/In all the pictures that I seen lately/Lord knows you still look amazin'/That's besides the point I'm makin'/You're way too opinionated/Have to force it, have to fake it/You have potential, I coulda shaped it" —Drake

"I understand, you got a hunnid bands/You got a baby Benz, you got some bad friends/High school pics, you was even bad then/You ain't stressin' off no lover in the past tense, you already had them/Work at 8 a.m., finish 'round 5/Hoes talk down, you don't see 'em outside/Yeah, they don't really be the same offline/You know dark days, you know hard times" —Drake

"I know you like to drink 'til the sun up/Grind 'til you come up/Work all winter, shine all summer/Ride for your brother/You die for your mother/Keep that shit a hunna/I know you wanna/Vacay to a place where you could/Take pictures, post on Insta'/Your friends say they miss ya/But they don't really miss ya" —Drake

"Look who I'm fuckin' again, I had her on ice, but then/I watched the ice get thin, now that she's sink or swim/She had an attitude in the summer, but she bein' nice again/Double my price again/Top of the charts, back in they hearts, nigga he strikes again, whoa/Some niggas bitter with life and they hate me, they wanna put knife in my ribs, whoa/Way this shit set up I live like Ronaldo, but I never been in Madrid, whoa/She said that that she workin', I told her come over and we can get right at the crib" —Drake

"And when you get to toppin' and I see that you've been learnin'/And when I take you shoppin' you spend it like you earned it/And when you popped off on your ex he deserved it/I thought you were the one from the jump that confirmed it/TrapMoneyBenny/I buy you Champagne but you love some Henny/From the block like you Jenny/I know you special, girl, 'cause I know too many" —Drake

"I need it nasty like, like Evil Angel, like Vivid/You know, nasty like how they give it/You know, I need you to be open like Kay's kitchen/That pussy kinda sound like waves hittin'/Soothin', keep it right there, no movin'/Make my way around the bases/I wanna take you to oasises/Bein' honest, I don't really know what patience is" —Drake

"I'm out here on front lines/Just tryin' to make sure that I see him sometimes/It's breakin' my spirit/Single father, I hate when I hear it/I used to challenge my parents on every album/Now I'm embarrassed to tell 'em I ended up as a co-parent/Always promised the family unit/I wanted it to be different because I've been through it" —Drake
