The Winner Lyrics - Drake

1 I'm performin' tonight you know that shit gon' be packed

2 Pay me in advance and make sure that it's exact

3 My ex girl I'll probably show up for the simple fact

4 That tomorrow she can tell all of her friends it was whack

5 But fuck that though, this about me

6 They say my whole fan base is missing I.D.

7 But the young trend setting musician I be

8 Got critics giving up the recognition I de-serve

9 Never bring yo' misses By me I'm it I'm it call me Mr. I.T.

10 If I get one wish Imma wish to die free

11 They say gon' head, ball like Mrs. Ivory, And I do

12 The realest in my age group, no shit

13 Soho, Cosmo, Bah Mar blow fish?

14 Let's make a toast, tell yo' friends come closer

15 Drinks on me like a coaster

16 We doin' it big

17 Look at what I done

18 Look at where I'm is

19 It's only just begun

20 'Cause I was staying home

21 When they was having fun

22 So please don't be surprised when they announce that I won

23 And this is how my speech goes

24 I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit

25 That's all I got to say, at the top is where I stay

26 And tell my haters never go away

27 The Winner

28 Long awaited, hated

29 Fans see me out and they holla happy belated

30 It's about time that you made it

31 I was bumping yo' songs when nobody else played it

32 When I was up in Hot Beat in Atlanta steady giving daps

33 Fetching niggas drinks but I never got to rap

34 If anybody asked though I prolly woulda snapped

35 But I can't sign nothing 'til my lawyer get the fax and

36 No one decides who the definition of talent is

37 And Mrs. Murry look at what my talent did

38 And what yo' business is

39 It's been a couple years

40 Guess it's not about who you know, it's just how you balance it

41 Its always awkward to dummy a nigga artist

42 And get on someone song when you know you comin' the hardest

43 It's how you start actin' when nobody can reach ya

44 My plan just hatched, happy Easter

45 I'm doin' it big

46 Look at what I done

47 Look at where I'm is

48 It's only just begun

49 'Cause I was staying home

50 When they was having fun

51 So please don't be surprised when they announce that I won

52 And this is how my speech goes

53 I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit, I deserve this shit

54 That's all I got to say

55 At the top is where I stay

56 And tell my haters never go away

57 The Winner

58 Uhh, ok I do it for the love

59 Bunk bed flow, always one level above

60 If I'm in ya starting five you will never need a sub

61 And I'm neva looking down so I always know wassup.

62 A lot of people sayin' fuck me

63 Problem is they be telling everybody but me

64 But I always got a Starbucks verse

65 Being brewed too hot please please double cup me

66 They never gave me support like Chuck T's

67 And I never trust a nigga sayin' trust me

68 Nick Cannon and Will never did it this ill

69 So you tell don't you dare interrupt me

70 Thanks to my mother for never giving up

71 You deserve the world, now gon' live it up

72 Thanks to uncle Steve my hero who always saved us

73 I could never give back everything you gave us

74 And to my dad even though we was apart

75 I couldn't leave you out, you forever in my heart

76 Yeah, and in the name of Evelyn Cher

77 I'll forever forgive anybody that never was there

78 For me, no other woman could ever compare

79 My angel I hope Heavens prepared for whenever you there

80 Uhh, I got a revolutionary flow in every scenario coming through ya Stereo

81 Got a new chick, booty round like the merry go
