[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)✦
