We been everywhere and back
But I just can't remember it all

What am I doin'? What am I doin'?
Oh, yeah, that's right

'Til it's over
But it's far from over

Bottles on me, long as someone drink it
Never drop the ball, f- are y'all thinkin'?
Makin' sure the Young Money ship is never sinkin'
'Bout to set it off, set it off, Jada Pinkett
I shouldn't have drove, tell me how I'm gettin' home
You too fine to be layin' down in bed alone
I could teach you how to speak my language, Rosetta Stone
I swear this life is like the sweetest thing I've ever known

In the second verse, Drake talks about his party lifestyle and the pressure to succeed. He mentions Young Money, his label, showing he’s responsible for its success.

Uh, one thing 'bout music, when it hits you feel no pain
And I swear I got that sh- that make these b- go insane

It's just what comes with the fame, and I'm ready for that, I'm just sayin'

So I'm riding through the city with my high beams on

It's about time you admit it, who you kiddin' man
Nobody's never done it like I did it
