[Drake]

Uh Ooh...ok I got these girls quite hype, only thing on right now, like a night light,

while my brother Wayne rockin' out like a white stripe, Imma kill the game,

I'm the young money white night (white night)...Yeah

Plus I'm looking for the right type cautious of a flood so I always lay the right pipe

West put me on the mart, keep life light plus I go hard for the women that I might wife

I put the ring on her index finger so if you wanna keep your girl please don't bring her

I bet that I'm the type of guy that she got a thing for,

You would block me but this aint jinga

Yeah...and she someone I would work with, that's what I could tell from what she's showing on the surface.

I aint saying that I'm requesting anyone that's perfect but I just need a woman that'll make it all worth it...
