Virginia Beach Lyrics

[Drake & Frank Ocean:]

I bet your mother would be proud of you, ooh (You, you, you, oh)

I bet our mother would be proud of you, oh

I know what you say

You say I coulda treated you better or whatever, but

I don't know, I think I did alright

Know what I'm sayin'?

And you know how you get

Drawin' conclusions like you got a Parsons degree or somethin'

I coulda treated you better, that's crazy

Nope

[Drake:]

Lean in, lean in soda, Fanta, fantasizin'

That's not love you're in, it's more like compromisin'

I move mountains for you, fuck that social climbin'

Lean into me, lean into me

Yeah, lean in, lean into me

Pussy ain't makin' me tweak, ended up stayin' a week

She pretty but ghetto, pretty but rough, just like Virginia Beach

I wanna get back to the days that you loved me for nothin' but what you could see

You bust down the Jubilee

I swapped it and made you go factory, wait

You put some pain in me

I wanna get back to the major league

She wanna grab on the throttle, I wanna get back in the driver's seat

That nigga spent his last check on your car

And you got it and drove it to me

Asked me if I coulda treated you better, but no

Lean in soda, Fanta, fantasizin'

That's not love you're in, it's more like compromisin'

I move mountains for you, fuck that social climbin'

Lean into me, lean into me

Lean in, lean into me

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

Grr, grr

Yeah

Our texts feelin' like a fencin' match

Your temper shorter and I'm sensin' that

You keep talkin' 'bout some, "Period"

But where you 'bout to end the sentence at?

'Cause you been goin' off on my ass

Then I tell your ass where I'm at

And you act like I'm not supposed to mention that

I introduce you to my friends' girlfriends

You ain't interested in makin' friends

Talkin' 'bout you wanna cook for a nigga in the kitchen

Can you make amends?

Least we know you got the cakes on you, girl

You should prolly stick to bakin' then

Workin' this crop like the rubber chute

I swear that I'm not tryna smother you

I got to know a whole other you

But let's not forget how I discovered you

We ain't even gotta mention that

Any nigga try and trouble you

He gon' find out that it's on-site like W-W-W

On site like .COM, put a baby in you, a hot mom

Yeah, ask me if I coulda treated you better, but no

Not at all, not at all

[Frank Ocean:]

I bet our mother would be proud of you, ooh (Mother would be proud)

Drake live – a hip-hop sensation!

About

Welcome to the opening track of Drake's latest album, "FOR ALL THE DOGS," released on October 6, 2023.

This collaborative effort involves the creative minds of Drake, 40, Harley Arsenault, Malay, and the soulful touch of Frank Ocean. Produced by 40 and Harley Arsenault, this track is the gateway to an album boasting a total of 23 tracks, each one a chapter in the narrative Drake is weaving.

Meaning

Now, let's dig into the story Drake's telling. "Virginia Beach" is like a lyrical scrapbook of a relationship. Drake's reminiscing, looking back at choices made and moments shared. The title, "Virginia Beach," isn't just a location—it's a metaphor for the ebb and flow of love, where the waves of good and challenging times meet the shore of memory. When Frank Ocean joins in, it's as if we're hearing the story through another set of eyes, adding a layer of emotion to the tale.

This track isn't just a standalone; it's the first chapter of a musical novel. Drake's inviting you to join him on a journey through the pages of his experiences, and "Virginia Beach" is the opening sentence. So, fasten your seatbelt, because this album promises not just songs but stories waiting to unfold with each melody.
