Miss Me Lyrics

[Verse 1: Drake & Bun B]
I said, "Tell me what's really goin' on"
Drizzy back up in this thing, I'm ready, what's hannenin'?

Gone for surgery but now I'm back again
I'm 'bout my paper like a motherfuckin' scratch-and-win
World Series attitude, champagne bottle life
Nothin' ever changes so tonight is like tomorrow night
I will have a model wife, yo' bitch is as hot as ice
Every time you see me, I look like I hit the lotto twice
Drake, you got 'em, right? Yeah, I got 'em, Bun
I love myself 'cause I swear their life is just not as fun
Neeks got the weed, Hush got a gun
CJ got my credit cards and a lot of ones

Yeah, I'm in the city of the purple Sprite
Someone tell Maliah I'm on fire, she should work tonight
Call up King of Diamonds and tell Chyna it'd be worth the flight
I'll be at my table, stackin' dollars to the perfect height
Work somethin', twerk somethin', basis

She just tryna make it so she right here gettin' naked
I don't judge her, I don't judge her but I could never love her
'Cause to her I'm just a rapper and soon she'll have met another
That's why me and Lil Jaz 'bout to spaz, can you keep up?
I'm just feelin' sorry for whoever gotta sweep up
Yeah, bills everywhere, trill everything

And Drake just stand for Do Right And Kill Everything
I love Nicki Minaj, I told her I'd admit it
I hope one day we get married just to say we fuckin' did it
And girl, I'm fuckin' serious, I'm wit' it if you wit' it
'Cause yo' verses turn me on and yo' pants are mighty fitted

Ugh, damn! I think you caught me in a moment
Like I catch 'em stealin' flows 'cause I swear I never loaned it
And life ain't a rehearsal, the camera's always rollin'
So come and get a portion of this money that we blowin'
'Cause it's on
[Chorus: Drake]
Yeah, girl, it's on
You know what it is when I finally make it home
I just hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone
Yeah I hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone
And you just tell me what you down for, anything you down for
I know things have changed, know I used to be around more
But you should miss me a little when I'm gone
I just hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone, gone, gone


[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Ooh, shit, motherfucker, God damn
Kickin' bitches out the condo like Pam
Gettin' money every day, I'm a groundhog
'Bout to scoop ya girl up like a ground ball
I walk light so I don't piss the ground off
Man, I swear, my bitches do it 'til they suck the brown off
Ew, that's nasty

Yes, I am Weezy but I ain't asthmatic
James Bond cologne, honey I put on
Make 'em run and tell they friends like a marathon
Voice baritone, haters carry on
Beat the pussy up, call me Larry Holmes
Young Money's Jerry Sloan, I turn every stone
When she masturbate to me, that's how she learn every song
To the women I condone, better write me when I'm gone
No, I'm not that thuggish, not that ruggish but I do pack Bone
Uh, I'm a love machine
And I won't work for nobody but you

It's only me and her 'cause the Bugatti a coupe
It's Blood gang, slime, but I parlay with Snoop
I ain't lyin', I shoot, you don't need signs for proof
Turn you to a vegetable like you lyin' in soup
And when I'm in the booth, bitch, the lion is loose
Man, I got so many styles, I am a group
Ha ha, damn! I'll be gone 'til November
But fuck it, I ain't trippin', I know Drizzy gon' kill 'em

I'm stickin' to the script like lint on denim
Momma said "If the rules ain't bent, don't bend 'em"
Real nigga talkin' – shut the fuck up, ho!
Gotta do it one time for Haiti – what up, Zo?
Weezy F. Baby and the F is for Front Do'
'Cause that's where I brang it

Soo-woo if you bangin', motherfucker!

About

Genius Annotation

In an April 2010 interview with MTV News, Drake explained what “Miss Me” is about:

It’s a song about being away from what you love and hoping that when you’re gone, doing you, somebody out there misses you. It goes for Wayne in his situation and it goes for me in my situation, ‘cause I’m on the road for I don’t how long right now.

The song was released as the third single from Drake’s debut album, Thank Me Later. The song was originally by rapper Bun B but it had a different chorus and was entitled “All Night Long.” It was never released—instead, Drake was given the song.

Genius Answer

It’s a pretty straightforward [song]. It’s a song about being away from what you love and hoping that when you’re gone, doing you, somebody out there misses you. It goes for Wayne in his situation and it goes for me in my situation, ‘cause I’m on the road for I don’t how long right now.

What have the producers said about the song?

Boi-1da:

That was [made] a few months ago in my basement. That beat was made really fast, maybe like 10 minutes. That one was just another sample that I heard, Hank Crawford’s ‘Wildflower.’ That one was on my computer, just something I was listening to. I just listen to old songs sometimes. I just heard that like, ‘That needs to be looped!’ I had heard that sample a long time ago and I even made a different beat out it. I just went back to the one part that I cut and thought that it could be dope.

It sounded like something Drake would like. I pretty much just sent him a bunch of beats and he liked that one and he ended up writing a song to it. But they was like, ‘Yo man, it needs to change up for the hook.’ But I ain’t know what to do for the hook. But 40 came and did his 40 thing. He made it sound crazy like it was underwater or something. I don’t know what effect he put on it, but it was dope and it worked out good.

Noah “40” Shebib:

We did it in January or February. We started working on that in Houston. We were there doing some stuff with Bun and started working on ‘Miss Me’ when we had some time, that’s why you hear Bun in the first verse. 1da had that beat made himself and we started messing with it out there, which is an ‘All Night Long’ version. It’s where the beat doesn’t change and it’s all over the original 1da beat. Then Drake wanted to re-work the chorus, so we changed it to the ‘Miss Me’ chorus, which corresponded with Wayne’s absence and I produced the chorus and the outro. 1da produced the verses.

With ‘Miss Me,’ I was having problems with it. The sample was bugging me, and I couldn’t get it to fit and I knew Gadget would kill it so I sent it to him. We made the adjustments to ‘Miss Me’ in March ’cause literally, like a week before he went in and shot all those videos, he recorded it. So it was like two weeks before that [Lil Wayne] actually recorded it and two weeks before that I actually made all the adjustments. So a week before he shot that video, I made that chorus and he recorded his verse the next day.

What has Bun B said about the song?
Genius Answer

Bun B:

We were at Takeover Studios. We went in two different days. It was recorded for my project. Well there’s a different hook, too. It was the ’All Night Long’ hook because it wasn’t called ’Miss Me’ when we recorded it. Then, Wayne heard it and wanted to get on it. So we ended up putting Wayne on the record, and Drake asked me if he could have the record back with Wayne on it. It doesn’t bother me because we still make music. It wasn’t shady business or anything. All the verses were 32 bars [so they took mine off.]

[The part where I ask, ‘Drake, you got ’em right?’] was already in the song because we wrote it together for my album so that was already in his verse. He wrote it like that for me to say that line right there. Then, when he did the verse with Wayne, they just kept me in there. I’m sure after his album comes out [the version with my verse] will find its way to the Internet.
