Special

[Intro]

Uh yeah man, VO

Back again like we never left huh

I'm sending this out to any of my girls thats different man

Anybody thats special

You know I wanna be honest with you women so I'mma start off like this

[Verse 1: Drake]

Uh look, I'm bold from the get go, go by the title of Drake

And treating me like the rest is a vital mistake

I'm hopin that ain't nobody else as special as you

When I say I've been disappointed I'm addressing a few

I finesse then I groove

While most of the 8 to 9's in my past

Now get a rating thats less than a 2

Its true, I been talking to Aleshia, Keisha and Nadia

And Shadia, had to throw peace signs to a lot of ya's

Payback, to the same chicks from way back

Never call, now they wanna be where I stays at

Now they got the new boy, I'm trying to move forward

And pass me, classy, something like Drew Lord

A new me, cool, see I never get around

If I dont change now I dont think I'll ever settle down

Even if I gotta travel a bit

I'll go around the world and back

Cause I know that once I have it thats it and uh

[Hook]

(Yeah man; yeah)

You can't just love me like they do

(Talk to 'em V; I need somebody special in you girl)

I need someone special in you

(I know they out there somewhere dude; Ho!)

I know that out there theres a few

(Put ya hands up ladies; Yeah man)

See I've been searching I don't what to do

Can you help me?

(Uh)

She gotta be special

(Yea; You gotta hold me down baby)

By that I mean that you gon hold me down

(Uh)

You gotta be special

(Yeah; You never know right?)

Cause you never know how people stick around

(Uh)

Gotta be special

A girl I can love that sees nothing wrong with getting used to me

Yeah my name ain't change but I'm far from the man that I used to be

[Verse 2: Drake]

Since a young dude the flow was nasty acidic

Ever since the demo dog

And groupies are gettin' brave

Now they ask me for

Rappers, I write 'em a verse

And ask me to spit it

But I pay no mind though

Cause they know I know

Hard as these niggas working man

They won't sign so

Drake and VO back

I take it you know that

You take it sitting down

Or you can take it to gold black

And since Drake done took it from curls to waves

Its been kind of like a whirlwind phase

I mean I had my share of women

Now a nigga gettin' girls for days

With most of 'em its seemin' like they world is staged

But from Georgia to BK and all around the world

Get your hands in the air if your avoiding the cliche

If you've been hurt and you alone be steady

These the same dudes from rewind, grown and ready, and uh

(Yea; uh)

You can just love me like they do

(Vo we back man; Its a beautiful thing dog)

I need someone special in you

(Uh; I'm looking for somebody special man I'm serious; Ho!)

I know that out there, theres a few

(I know that they out there man)

See I've been searching, I dont know what to do

(Ho! You gotta help me man)

Can you help me?

(Uh)

Special

(Uh; yea; I need you to hold me down babe)

By that I mean that you gon hold me down

(Uh)

Gotta be special

(Yeah; You never really know right?)

Cause you never know how people stick around

Special

A girl I can love that sees nothing wrong with getting used to me

Yeah my name ain't change but I'm far from the man that I used to be

[Verse 3: Drake]

Look theres requirements to be an admirer

Still the new version of fresh needa a Nia or Tyra

So we can be Jenny and Swayze

I told you I'm careful with my heart girl, many have played me

Or maybe it's karma

They say is a charmer

Halfway to a knight so I stay in a armor

I'm fire on the move

A tire looking smooth

I'm not perfect but I got a desire to improve

I'm special

Like kids in a graduating class

Having more trouble than others when adding basic math

Need you to be special like areba to cootmore

Double O, top secret agents with suits on

Something so deep it da drown me

Friends are some cool dudes

I vouch for the people around me

On your end its simple

All you have to do

Is give me no reason for other lovers after you and uh

(Yep; ho!; Were makin history right now man)

You can't just love me like they do

(Yea; And you a legend for real, ima give you that man)

I need someone special in you

(Uh; Yea; I know they out there man)

I know that out there theres a few

(Ho!; Yeah uh)

See I've been searching I don't what to do

(You gotta help me baby)

Can you help me?

Special

(All around the world)

By that I mean that you gon hold me down

(From LA to VA)

Special

(Memphis Tennessee whats goin' on)

Cause you never know how people stick around

Gotta be special

A girl I can love that sees nothing wrong with getting used to me

Yea my name ain't change but I'm far from the man that I used to be
