Think Good Thoughts Lyrics - Drake

1 ''[Drake:]''

2 Yeah, 9th Wonder! Don't judge me man

3 They tend to say that us rappers are materialistic

4 They say we lack substance

5 Me, 'Te and El' bout to prove 'em wrong though

6 ''[Chorus: Drake]''

7 Uh, we know what you're thinking love

8 You think we out smoking and drinking love

9 Pushing big whips, chains clinking love

10 But y'all don't really know me like you think you know me

11 We know how you speculate

12 Thinking we gon' hit your friend if you object to date

13 Claim we're early and be showing up extra late love

14 But y'all don't really know me like you think you know me

15 ''[Drake:]''

16 Uh, El' be saying that I'm humble, I'm hella nice

17 For that I've been approached to sign to Roc-A-Fella twice

18 Haters tell you all the rumors they heard

19 And we laugh soon as you come and tell me like I'm Ellen Brice

20 My groove theory is that when you too cheery

21 They try to bring you down to the level they at

22 Well when they are all unhappy, then it gets a little sticky

23 That's why I am Little Nicky to these devils in rap

24 But, uh, they ain't thinking Drake get smart girl

25 Nah, they probably think I'll break your heart girl

26 Haha, I can't lie, you probably right about it

27 And if you give me the ass quick, I'll probably write about it

28 But I hate it when they judge me on how I sound

29 I mean I spit that influential shit from my town

30 I don't know why you sitting on the couch

31 When you see I got a bed, bring your ass here and lie down

32 You think taking your purse off

33 Will lead to me, you taking shirts off and then your skirt off

34 At least I got status because I could've been a local emcee

35 And you probably would've been worse off

36 So I'm a take this hat off, and I'm a hit it till I backs off

37 And then I'm back sorrowful

38 Cause you thinking you can predict what happen

39 You the reason I'm thinking I'm getting sick of rapping

40 ''[Chorus]''

41 ''[Phonte:]''

42 You probably think I walk around with my gun tucked and

43 Swang dick to these hoes like nunchucks

44 Well, you can think what you want but

45 I think you've been watching too much BET: Uncut

46 You need to get real and check out my real life

47 I ain't a tip-trail, don't care what it smell like

48 But if you feel like putting all your notions aside

49 And talking to a real nigga, I'd gladly oblige

50 First name Phonte, I'd be pleased to date ya

51 College educated, got degrees in papers

52 But I'm from the South where if you ain't snapping

53 Or rapping bout trapping youse a freak of nature

54 Such an anomaly, speak so well

55 And talk so collegy, such an astonishing

56 Contrast to all the bullshit you've been following

57 On behalf of them, I offer my apologies

58 Maybe with me you'll unlearn

59 Putting all niggas in a box of concerns

60 Me, cause I ain't dumb, shit I'm well reared/red like sunburn

61 And after me you'll never leave no stone unturned, uh, c'mon

62 ''[Chorus]''

63 ''[Elzhi:]''

64 They say you never judge a book by it's cover

65 Though you appear as materialistic, just like the others

66 So I followed your words to take 'em in

67 And I don't see what you saying so they coming off paper thin

68 That's when I felt that I would need to

69 Do more than just look you up and down to see if I could read you

70 And try to get inside your head only

71 Not just stick my fingers in your middle to get you to spread for me

72 So what I learned on my path to discover?

73 Your story took one ugly turn after another

74 I saw we wasn't on the same page

75 I would've gave you strong play but your words rubbed me the wrong way

76 So now I'm closing the case

77 You only out for the paperback that's written all over your face

78 No El' will never judge a book by it's cover

79 Until he seen what was in between and looked at what lies are under

80 ''[Chorus]''
