Best I Ever Had Lyrics
baby you my everything, you all i ever wanted
we can do it real big, bigga then you eva done it
you be up on everythin, other hoes aint eva on it
i want this foreva, i swear i can spend wateva on it
cuz she hold me down everytime i hit her up
when i get right i promise that we gon live it up
she make me beg for it till she give it up
and i say the same thing every single time
i say you the fuckin best

i say you the fuckin..
know you got a roommate
call me when iz no one there
put the key under the mat and you know i'll be ova there
yup..i'll be ova there, shawty i'll be ova there
i'll be hittin all the spotz that u aint even know waz there
ha..and you aint even have to ask twice
you can have ma heart or
we can share it like the last slice
always felt like you waz so accustom to the fast life
have a nigga thinkin that he met you in a past life
sweat panz hair tied chilin wit no make up on
thatz wen your the prettiest
i hope that you don take it wrong
you dont even trip when friends say you aint bringing drake along
you know that i'm working
i'll be there soon as i make it homeee
and she a patient in ma waitin room
neva pay attention to them rumors n wat they assume
and until them girlz prove it
i'm the one to neva get confused wit cause..
baby you my everything, you all i ever wanted
we can do it real big, bigga then you eva done it
you be up on everythin, other hoes aint eva on it
i want this foreva, i swear i can spend wateva on it
cuz she hold me down everytime i hit her up
when i get right i promise that we gon live it up
she make me beg for it till she give it up
and i say the same thing every single time
i say you the fuckin best
you the fuckin best

buzz so big i could prolly sell a blank disk
when ma album drop
bitches'll buy if for the picture
and niggaz will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister
magzine paper girl
but money aint the issue
they bring dinner to ma room and ask me to initial
she call me the referie
cuz i be so official
ma shirt aint got no stripes but i can make ya pussy whistlee
like the Andy Grifith theme song,
and who told you to put them jeans on
double cup love
you the one i lean on,
feelin for a fix then you should really get ya fiend on
yea..juz kno ma condo iz the crack spot
every single show she out there reppin like a mascot

and make ya fuckin bra strap pop
all up in ya slot until the nigga hit the jackpotz
baby you my everything, you all i ever wanted
we can do it real big, bigga then you eva done it
you be up on everythin, other hoes aint eva on it
i want this foreva, i swear i can spend wateva on it
cuz she hold me down everytime i hit her up
when i get right i promise that we gon live it up
she make me beg for it till she give it up
and i say the same thing every single time

i say you the fuckin..

you the fuckin best

You could interpret this song in two ways, and interestingly the two are basically opposites.
One is the obvious surface meaning: Drake is singing to one specific girl, she's the best he ever had, and he wants to be with her forever. It's romantic. I think this is the way most casual listeners, and women in particular, interpret the song.
A closer listen reveals the song differently. Basically, Drake is singing about really dope sex, but not with any girl in particular. He wants every girl he sleeps with to think she's his number one, and that she's really the best he's ever had. It's still got a really sweet message, but it is quite ironic.
This view begins with the intro: "You know a lot of girls be... thinkin' my songs are about them, but... this is not to get confused. This one's for you." He never names the woman; the song means all things to all listeners.
Seen in this light, the meaning of a number of lyrics changes. "Never pay attention to them rumors and what they assume, and until them girls prove it I'm the one to never get confused with, cause..." is essentially an admission.
In the hook Drake says, "And I say the same thing every single time..." You could read this as Drake telling one girl the same thing every time they have sex, but I think he means he says the same thing to ALL the women he sleeps with. He's kind of a sick genius, since it would make all these women feel special.
The ambiguity is reiterated in the outro: "See, this the type of joint you got to dedicate to somebody. Just make sure they that special somebody. You know who you are... I got you." But he doesn't dedicate the song to anybody. Instead, he says, "you know who you are," in essence dedicating the song to any and every woman he's ever been with.
Really a great song, made even better by the multiple levels on which you can appreciate it.
lol you are so right thanks for the info

So true man! when you watch the music video, he's coaching a women's basketball team, and midway through, the music stops and it's while he's giving a team talk in the locker room. In the middle of this impassioned speech to all of them (saying how believes in them etc etc) one of the girls is like 'Hey yo Drake, I'm the best yo, right?' and eventually all the girls start asking him if they're the best.

The 2nd interpretation seems right then...

those are really good explanations. i actually saw an interview with him and he said he made the song for a girl he was dating at the time. and he said that that was tthe best relationship hes been in to date.

Wow, you are so open minded and accuarate. Both interpreations make sense. I agree that he is saying that he thinks all the girls that he has been with are all special. But, I also think like you said that he was also especially dedicating it to one girl, in particular. Then, he was also giving shout outs...not specifically...to the other girls he has been with either sexually or in a relationship.

hahahah <3
Even Though if you watch the video.. which basically doesnt really relate to the song, he tells them all that each and everyone of them is the fuckin best, so it gives it away in the video that he tells everygirl that. :)
This song is amazing <3 His voice is so addicting.
THIS SONG IS CATHCY. I REMEMBER HEARING IT ON THE RADIO AND ON MTV ALL OF THE TIME!
I love this song & the beat of it. The meaning is pretty obvious :]
you the fuckin best!
i'm glad telephuse posted that. when i first heard the song on the radio i didn't really pay attention to the lyrics and only heard "you the best i ever had" and basically interpreted it as sexsexsexsex. but after i heard this again on a friend's myspace page (i'm not a huge fan of rap) i listened to it and heard the part "i say the same thing every single time." which made me realize that this song is not about sex or the beauty of it, but more about him getting around, LOL.
addictinggggg
that's good Telephuse, i haven't thought of it like that. this song is the fuckin best
