[00:27.47]mahalo from the hardest act to follow
[00:29.95]lately I've been drinking like there's a message in a bottle
[00:33.08]aloha's to women with no ties
[00:35.39]to men that I know well
[00:37.07]that way there are no lies
[00:38.70]you could thank me now for all the info I give to you n-ggas
[00:42.07]on the brink of influential
[00:44.05]I'm here for you n-ggas I guess a hit doesn't add up to a career
[00:47.49]for you n-ggas
[00:48.43]I must have been hard to watch,
[00:50.36]what a year for you n-ggas
[00:51.81]it's December 31st and we in Miami just meditating
[00:55.05]you got resolutions, we just got reservations
[00:58.80]living out a dream, it feels like I stayed up
[01:01.69]and we just wanna party PAT Ron straight up
[01:04.82]f-ck that old sh-t, I'm on new things
[01:07.87]OVO clique, Red wing boot gang
[01:10.92]yeah we want it all, half was never the agreement
[01:13.98]who'd thought the route we chose would ever end up this scenic
[01:17.22]I could relate to kids going straight to the league
[01:20.37]when they recognise that you got what it takes to succeed
[01:23.60]and thats around the time that your idols become your rivals
[01:26.54]you make friends with Mike but gotta AI him for your survival
[01:29.10]
[01:29.68]damn, I swear sports and music are so synonomous
[01:33.35]'cause we wanna be them and they wanna be us
[01:36.73]yeah so on behalf of the demanded
[01:39.23]and the entertainment you take for granted
[01:41.27]you could thank me now...
[01:43.21]and oh my goodness you're welcome
[01:44.52]you're welcome
[01:45.27]at this point me is who I'm trying to save myself from
[01:48.89]rappers hit me up and I never know what to tell them
[01:51.95]cause they think that I can help them get back to where they fell from
[01:55.62]but drink up because everyone here is good tonight
[01:58.71]except the n-ggas that I came with, they good for life
[02:01.96]yeah, thats how you know it's going down
[02:04.33]in case another chance never comes around...
[02:06.57]You could thank me now
[02:08.51]uh, go 'head
[02:12.32]Thank Me Later yeah I know what I said
[02:15.37]but later doesn't always come so instead
[02:18.56]it's okay,
[02:19.74]You could thank me now
[02:24.30]
[02:32.72]Uhh, shallow n-gga but deep enough to have gone swimming
[02:36.66]I think I'm spending all my time with the wrong women
[02:39.85]I think I have a chance at love but knowing me I miss it
[02:43.22]cause me dedicating my time just isn't realistic
[02:46.22]man the good girls went silent on me
[02:49.33]they got a boyfriend or left for college on me
[02:52.64]and all the bad ones I used to hit are friends now
[02:55.71]that make me wish I had a little less mileage on me
[02:59.20]but do I ever come up in discussion over double pump latte's
[03:02.69]and low fat muffin's, do I?
[03:05.63]Or is missing what we had outta the question
[03:08.69]I'm probably just the reason that you learned your lesson
[03:11.44]I got flows for the Marilyn Monroe's who's there before it all
[03:15.68]I guess thats how it goes
[03:17.48]they hear about your cons or focus on your pro's
[03:20.29]and love you for who you are from the bottom of their soul
[03:23.66]but those same ones from your area will grow
[03:26.54]into women that are ready to get married at hello
[03:29.72]because of what they allow
[03:31.47]where are they all now
[03:33.02]I know there somewhere watching so I'm trying to make them proud
[03:36.33]searching for the meaning
[03:37.89]you'll find it next to me
[03:39.45]and tell me that I'm the finest I guess we finally get to see
[03:42.63]I'm feeling like Nas who am I to disagree
[03:45.38]they say that doors open up as soon as you find the missing key
[03:48.94]it's probably why I'm in this b-tch shining
[03:51.42]jump up in the sky and put the stars into alignment
[03:54.43]I rep the ATF in case you need to be reminded
[03:57.42]and the bandwagons full you can try and run behind it
[04:00.73]I'm sorry poolside drinking
[04:03.29]margharita rounds
[04:04.78]shout out to my city though I hardly be in town
[04:07.90]I'm the Black Sheep, but Chris Farley wears the crown
[04:10.78]and I know life is just a game in which the cards are facing down
[04:14.65]I'm in the World where things are taken, never given
[04:17.33]how long they choose to love you will never be your decision
[04:20.57]and I'm aware this could be the last time you listen
[04:23.57]so while I'm still in this postion...
[04:25.64]You could thank me now
[04:28.08]uh, go 'head
[04:31.39]Thank Me Later yeah I know what I said
[04:34.51]but later doesn't always come so instead
